It's 7/24 so about 0.292
therefore it will be close to 1/4

or you calculate 1/8 = 0.125 and 1/6 = 0.1666 adds up close to 1/4

Answer:

Natalie bought 500 apples at $0.40 each, then she pays $0.40 500 times, this means that the total cost of the 500 apples is:

Cost = 500*$0.40 = $200

Now she threw away n apples from the 500 apples, then the number of apples that she has now is:

apples = 500 - n

And she sells the remaining apples for $0.70 each.

a) The amount that she gets by selling the apples is:

Revenue = (500 - n)*$0.70

b) We know that she did not make a loss, then the revenue must be larger than the cost, this means that:

cost ≤ revenue

$200 ≤ (500 - n)*$0.70

c) We need to solve the inequality for n.

$200 ≤ (500 - n)*$0.70

$200/$0.70 ≤ (500 - n)

285.7  ≤ 500 - n

n + 285.7 ≤ 500

n ≤ 500 - 285.7

n ≤ 214.3

Then the maximum value of n must be equal or smaller than 214.3

And n is a whole number, then we can conclude that the maximum number of rotten apples can be 214.

A tree casts a shadow that is 8 feet long, a 3 foot mailbox cast a shadow that is 5 feet long. how tall is the tree?
madam [21]
Set up two fractions:
8/x and 3/5
Set them equal to each other and cross multiply to get:
8*5 = 3x
40 = 3x
13.3 = x or 13 and 1/3 feet tall.

The goals against average (A) for a professional hockey goalie is determined using the formula A = 60 a equals 60 left-parenthes
Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

Option 1 - \frac{At}{60}=g

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The goals against average (A) for a professional hockey goalie is determined using the formula A=60(\frac{g}{t} ). In the formula, g represents the number of goals scored against the goalie and t represents the time played, in minutes.

To find : Which is an equivalent equation solved for g?

Solution :

Solve the formula in terms of g,

A=60(\frac{g}{t})

Multiply both side by t,

At=60g

Divide both side by 60,

\frac{At}{60}=\frac{60g}{60}

\frac{At}{60}=g

Therefore, option 1 is correct.

Answer:

The solution is (3/8, -7/8).

Step-by-step explanation:

y = −5x + 1

y = 3x − 2

Since  the 2 expressions in x are both equal to y :

−5x + 1  = 3x - 2

-5x - 3x = -2 - 1

-8x = -3

x = 3/8.

So y = 3x - 2

= 3(3/8) - 2

= 9/8 - 2 = -7/8.
