Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two ways the answer to this question can be determined

Method 1 : the fast method

We know that 8 is twice 4

4 x 2 = 8

The ratio of diet soda = 8

the ratio of regular sodas = 4

Diet sodas = 112

the number of regular sodas = 112 / 2 = 56

Method 2 : The long method

I would first determine the total number of diet and regular sodas. Let the total number be represented by d

from the question, the following equation can be derived :

(8/12) x d = 112

divide both sides of the equation by 12/8 to determine the value of d

d = 112 x (12/8) = 168

We can now derive a value for the number of regular soda

regular sodas = ( ratio of regular sodas / total soda) x total number of sodas

(4/12) x 168 = 56

Emily Dickinson's poetry was rescued for posterity by

LiRa [457]

Emily Dickinson's poetry was rescued for posterity by her sister (c). Emily Dickinson lived during the American Civil War, but she lived in her father's house in Amherst, Massachusetts. This area was not affected by the Civil War. She was fairly isolated as a poet and, as a result, the events of the Civil War did not play a major role in her poetry. She wrote mainly about the events in her direct environment, with no direct sense of the time in which she lived. Her world consisted of her own home and the surrounding countryside.

A company can buy packages of 500 sheets of paper for $4. At that rate, how much paper can be bought for $2000? Group of answer

Alexandra [31]

Your answer is 250,000. There are two ways to do this problem.

1) Solve 500/4 to find out how many sheets of paper you get per every dollar. — Your answer is 125 sheets for $1. Then you multiply that answer by 2000, and get 250,000. Which means you get 250,000 sheets of paper for $2000.

2) You can divide 2000 by 4 & that gets you 500, you can then multiply that by 500 & you will get 250,000.

Hope this helps.
