Answer:
3 11/16 pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
Lynne bought a bag of grapefruit, 1 5/8 pounds of apples, and 2 3/16 pounds of bananas. The total weight of her purchases was 7 1/2 pounds. How much did the bag of grapefruit weigh?'
The Total weight = Weight of grape fruits + Weight of Apples + Weight of Bananas
Let the weight of the grape fruit = x
7 1/2 = x + 1 5/8 + 2 3/16
x = 7 1/2 - (1 5/8 + 2 3/16)
Lowest Common Denominator = 16
x= 7 1/2 - 3 + ( 10+ 3/16)
x = 7 1/2 - 3 + (13/16)
x = 7 1/2 - 3 13/16
Lowest Common Denominator = 16
x= 4 (8 - 13/16)
x = 4 (-5/16)
x = 3 11/16 pounds
Therefore, the bag of grapefruits weighed 3 11/16 pounds
Answer:
i believe it would take 16. let me know if thats right?

Answer:
See below ↓
Step-by-step explanation:
a. 4 ÷ (2/3) = 12/3 ÷ 2/3 = 12 ÷ 2 = 6
b. 4 ÷ 1 = 4
Attachment below.
The graph of f(x) opens upward
For the values of x < -5 the function is a line with negative slope, for the values of x > - 5 the function is a line with positive slope.
The two lines intercept in the point (-5,-2). That is the vertex of the function; a minimum value. So, all the other points are above the line y = -2.
lets assume one number is x
then 2nd number will be 5x-2
so product is 120
x (5x-2) = 120
5x^2 - 2x = 120
so answer is last option
