Answer:

Each person will get 4/5, or 0.8 pounds of nuts.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to convert 7 1/5 into an improper fraction, by multiplying

7 x 5 = 35

and adding

35 + 1 = 36

Our improper fraction is 36/5

Now, we can divide

36 / 9

5 / 1

To do so, we need to switch 9/1 to its reciprocal, 1/9, and then multiply

36 x 1 = 36

5 x 9 = 45

Our answer is 36/45

We can simplify our answer by dividing by 9

36 / 9 = 4

45 / 9 = 5

Our final answer is 4/5, or 0.8 pounds of nuts

X-2y=5 2x-4y=10

Nitella [24]

Step-by-step explanation:

X-2y=5 ; 2x-4y=10

• x - 2y = 5 • 2x -4y = 10

-2y = -x+5 -4y= -2x +10

y1 = ½x - 5/2 y2 = ½x -5/2

• => y1 = y2

½x -5/2 = ½x -5/2

The population of California is approximately 38,040,000. The population of Texas is about 2.606 × 107. What is the approximate

liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

The total population of these two states is:

$3.804\times \:\:10^7+2.606\times \:\:10^7\:=10^7\times \:\:6.41$

Therefore, option C is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

The population of California is approximately 38,040,000.

The population of Texas is about 2.606 × 10⁷.

Writing the population of California i.e.38,040,000 in scientific notation by moving the decimal point 7 places to the left and dropping the 0's on the right side as they're after the decimal point now.

i.e.

38,040,000 = 3.804 x 10⁷

So adding 3.804 x 10⁷ and 2.606 × 10⁷

i.e.

$3.804\times \:10^7+2.606\times \:10^7$

$\mathrm{Add\:similar\:elements:}\:10^7\times \:3.804+10^7\times \:2.606=10^7\times \:6.41$

Thus, the total population of these two states is:

$3.804\times \:\:10^7+2.606\times \:\:10^7\:=10^7\times \:\:6.41$

Therefore, option C is correct.

The distance between two towns is 120 km these are approximately 80 km in 5 miles which measurement is closer to the number of m

Helga [31]

Answer:

7.5 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

5 miles in 80 km

Total distance = 120 km

120- 80= 40 km

80 km = 5miles

1 km = 5miles/ 80km

120 km = 5/80 * 120 km = 7.5 miles

This is called unitary method. First we find 1 km by dividing the miles with the number of km and then multiply the number of km to find the total number of miles.

Total distance = 120 km

120- 80= 40 km

if there are 5 miles in 80 km then there will be half of the miles in half of the km . So there will be 2.5 miles in 40 km .

So the total number of miles would be

40+80 km= 5+ 2.5 miles

120 km = 7.5 miles

Dory and Nemo go to Taco Bell for lunch. Dory orders three soft tacos and three double deckers for $11.25. Nemo pays $10.00 for

elixir [45]

Dory: $11.25= x+x+x+y+y+y or $11.25= (3*x)+(3*y)

Nemo: $10.00=x+x+x+x+y+y or $10.00= (4*x)+(2*y)
