Answer:
Basically this is because division can be thought of as how many times does the divisor have to be multiplied in order to produce the dividend.
So you would need to multiply 1 8 times in order to produce the dividend,
Similarly, 10 goes into 80 8 times. The zeros are simply cancelled out in the division.
The cost for each pound of trail mix and each pound of jelly is given below.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let t = cost/pound of trail mix
Let j = cost/pound of jelly beans
5t + 6j = 35
3t + 2j = 15 = > 2j = 15 - 3t
5t + 3(15 - 3t) = 35
5t + 45 - 9t = 35
- 4t + 45 = 35
- 4t = - 10
4t = 10
t = 2.5
3(2.5) + 2j = 15
7.5 + 2j = 15
2j = 7.5
j = 3.75
