Answer:

7.75

Step-by-step explanation:

We know (by definition) that: 1⁢oz = 0.0625⁢lb

We can set up a proportion to solve for the number of pounds.

1⁢oz124⁢oz = 0.0625⁢lbx⁢lb

Now, we cross multiply to solve for our unknown x:

x ⁢ lb = 124⁢oz1⁢oz * 0.0625 ⁢ lb → x ⁢ lb = 7.75 ⁢ lb

Conclusion: 124 ⁢ oz = 7.75 ⁢ lb

*3 over 2 x 3 over 2 is 3/2 x 3/2* << this is for me to remember

Okay so multiplying fractions means for us to multiply across. That means if we line the fractions, we multiply. Like this

3 x 3

----- ----- 3 times 3 is = 9

2 x 2 2 times 2 is = 4

9 over 4 is the same thing as 2 and 1/4 << FRACTION

the two shorter sides of a triangle are the same length. the length of the longer side is 5 m longer than each of the shorter si

STatiana [176]

Let the length of the shorter sides be x, then
Perimeter = x + x + x + 5
29 = 3x + 5
3x = 29 - 5 = 24
x = 24/3 = 8

Therefore, the length of longest side is 8 + 5 = 13 m.

Two teachers purchase supplies for their classrooms.

inna [77]

Answer:

Cost of One Journal = $3.99

Cost of One pen = $0.59

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

Cost of One Journal = x

Cost of One pen = y

We can make equation from given statements.

Mr. Bowden purchases 18 journals and 40 pencils for $95.42.

$18x+40y=95.42$

Ms. Jacinto purchases 11 journals and 16 pencils for $53.33.

$11x+16y=53.33$

Now solving these equations to find the value of x

$18x+40y=95.42--eq(1)\\11x+16y=53.33--eq(2)$

Multiply eq(1) with 2 and eq(2) with 5

$36x+80y=190.84\\55x+80y=266.65\\-\:\:\:\:-\:\:\:\;\:\:\:\:\:\:\:-\\---------\\-19x=-75.81\\x=\frac{-75.81}{-19}\\x=3.99\\$

We get the value of x is: x=3.99

Now, putting value of x in equation 1 to find value of y.

$18x+40y=95.42\\18(3.99)+40y=95.42\\71.82+40y=95.42\\40y=95.42-71.82\\40y=23.6\\y=\frac{23.6}{40}\\y= 0.59$

So, we get the value of y: y = 0.59

Now, finding the costs:

Cost of One Journal = x = $3.99

Cost of One pen = y = $0.59
