Answer:

1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we're dealing with fractions, the total fraction is 1

Mortgage =1/3

Food =1/6

Fraction of income left=x

So we equate everything above to 1

\frac{1}{3}  +  \frac{1}{6}  + x = 1

\frac{1}{3}  +  \frac{1}{6}  + x =  1  \\  lcm = 6  \\ multiply \: each \: term \: by \: 6 \\ 6 \times  \frac{1}{3}  + 6 \times  \frac{1}{6}  + 6(x) = 6(1)

=  > 2(1) + 1(1) + 6x = 6 \\ 2 + 1 + 6x = 6 \\ 3 + 6x = 6

6x = 6 - 3 \\ 6x = 3 \\ x =  \frac{3}{6}  =  \frac{1}{2}

The choir is selling candy bars to raise money for a trip they sell each candy bar for $5 there are 7 candy bars in each box and
Reika [66]

Answer:$2800

Step-by-step explanation: Lets first figure out how much money a box of candy bars is worth. We know that each candy bar is worth $5 and that there are 7 candy bars per box. We can multiply 7*5 to figure out that each box is worth $35.

Now lets figure out how many boxes can be sold each day. Each student can sell two boxes a day. 5 students selling 2 boxes each is 5*2= 10 boxes total sold a day.

Now finally we use what we found to figure out the amount of money made per day. We know that there are 10 boxes being sold and that each box makes them $35. We just multiply 10 boxes by $35 to get $350 dollars each day.

Since they sell for 8 days we just multiply 8*$350 to get $2800.

Esther wants to know if the number of words on a page in her language arts book is generally more than the number of words on a
kykrilka [37]
Answer: The correct answer is "No, because there is a lot of variability in the language arts book data."

The mean of the language arts book is higher than the mean of the social studies book, however, there is a lot of variability in the language arts book. This means that the language arts book could actually be lower than the social studies book. It is not likely but it could happen.

In December of 2003, the average price for a gallon of regular gas in the United States was $1.50.
12345 [234]

Answer:

yes

Step-by-step explanation:

because the cost stays the same and you would multiply blank gallons of gas by 1.50 every time so it is proportional. For example: it would be $1.50 to 1 gallon, $3 to 2 gallons, $4.50 to 3 gallons and would keep going like that, adding the same amount every time
