Answer:

21 containers

Step-by-step explanation:

When dividing fractions, you can multiply by the inverse of the fraction. For example, in this case, 14 divided by \frac{2}{3} = \frac{14}{1}x\frac{3}{2}. Whoever drew the calculations made the mistake of forgetting to flip the second fraction.

The actual solution of the problem is 42/2, or 21/1. 21 containers are needed to store the sugar.

Answer:

Option C i.e. 2 and 9, constants have a fixed value is a correct option.

Step-by-step explanation:

In algebra, a constant is basically a fixed value.

Sometimes, a constant is a number for a letter such as a, b, or c for a fixed number.

For example: in ''2x+7=3'', 7 and 3 are constants.

  • <em>Please note that the number with variable x in the term is a coefficient.</em>

<em />

In our case:

Given the equation

3x+2=9

Therefore, 2 and 9 are constants, having a fixed value.

Thus, option C i.e. 2 and 9, constants have a fixed value is a correct option.

It was recommended that students drink 48 or more ounces of water. How
azamat

A histogram is used to show the frequency of data, where the length of the bar represents the frequency.

<em>50 students drank the recommended amount of water.</em>

The recommended amount is given as:

Amount \ge 48

See attachment for histogram.

From the histogram, we have the following observations

  • <em>The lengths of all bars of the histogram are less than 48, except one.</em>
  • <em>The length of the bar above 48 is 50.</em>

<em />

This means that:  50 students drank the recommended amount of water.

<em>Hence, the number of students is 50</em>

tangare [24]

Answer:

D)$42.00

Step-by-step explanation:

18 3/4 is equal to 18.75, so 18.75x2.80 is your original cost (52.5). After doing that, since 52.5=100% you are going to divide 52.5 by 5 since 20x5=100. So 20% is 10.5. 52.5-10.5= $42.00
