The answer is 1/3 because 7 can go into 21 so then 7 goes into 7 one time and then it goes into 21 three times so then you would get 1/3
If the term in the middle is 16x^2
6x^2-24x-16x^2-9x+1 =
-10x^2-33x+1
A. He eats 1/8 a pound of candy each day.
B. It would take him a total of 8 days to eat a pound of candy.
A. Since he ate 10 ounces in 5 days, you divide 10 by 5 to find he ate 2 ounces per day. Since there are 16 ounces in a pound that would be your denominator (bottom of fraction) and 2 would be the numerator (top of your fraction). You will get 2/16 which if you simplify (divide by 2) you get 1/8.
B. Knowing that there are 16 ounces per pound and he ate 1/8 pound ( 2/16 pound or 2 ounces) a day, you can either look at the simplified denominator to get the answer, or, divide 16 by 2 to get your answer.
