Product means multiply

the 2 numbers are x and y

the product is 40
xy=40

one is 5/8
x=5/8

(5/8)(y)=40
multipl both sides by 8/5
(40/40)(y)=(40)(8/5)
(1)(y)=320/5
y=64

the other number is 64

A bag contains 6 yellow marbles and 18 red. If a representative sample contains 2 yellow marbles, then how many red would you ex
kramer

Answer:

6 red marbles

Step-by-step explanation:

We must first find our multiplier since a sample represents a population (the whole thing).

6/2 = 3, so 3 * 2 = 6.

I will use the value of 6/2, aka 3 and use that as my divisor.

18/3 = 6.

Therefore, you would expect to have 6 red marbles.

SUPREME COURT The first Chief Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court, John Jay, served 2079 days
sashaice [31]

Answer:

John Roberts must serve a minimum of 12, 543 days to surpass John Mrshall's record of justice.

Step-by-step explanation:

John Marshall = 2079 + 10, 463 = 12, 542 days

Now, we have to add 1 more day to pass John Marshall because if we do not, we would only be on the same level as John Marshall and NOT EXCEEDING him.

Ken has a pole that is 26 inches long. He wishes to cut it into two pieces so that one piece will be 8 inches longer than the ot
Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

9 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Do the question algebraically, represented by this equation:

let x be the shorter piece

x + (x + 8) = 26                      (longer piece is 8 units longer)

Remove brackets

x + x + 8 = 26                 Combine like terms              

2x + 8 = 26                   Start isolating "x"

2x + 8 - 8 = 26 - 8           Subtract 8 from both sides

2x = 18

2x/2 = 18/2           Divide both sides by 2

x = 9                    shorter piece

The shorter piece would be 9 inches.

If you needed the longer piece too:

longer piece = x + 8

x + 8

= 9 + 8

= 17

The longer piece would be 17 inches.

Check your answer:

Longer + Shorter = 26           Substitute the lengths

17 + 9 = 26                    Add

26 = 26                same number

LS = RS                left side equals right side

The answer is correct.

Joelle has $15.75. She spent $6.38 at the store.
Alborosie
X + 6.38 = 15.75<span> would be the answer 
      x=9.37
for the first option, you are not adding 15.75 and x together. 
for the second option, it is correct, because in the problem, it is giving the operation, 15.75-6.38=x. when you turn it do inverse operation, you get </span><span>x + 6.38 = 15.75. 
for the third option, it doesn't make sense and it's not doing what the problem is asking for.
for the fourth option, you are not multiplying. you are subtracting </span>15.75 by<span> 6.38 to get x.</span>

-8-3x=-8(1-7x) how many solutions will mark barilest
Lina20 [59]

Answer:

x=0

Step-by-step explanation:

-8-3x=-8(1-7x)

add 8 to both sides =( -3x=56x)

subtract 56x from both sides (-59x=0)

divide both sides by -59 = (x=0)
