first one 5/8
Step-by-step explanation:
2 1/2 / 4 = 5/8
Answer:
25 = x
Step-by-step explanation:
Based on the equation we see that the thumb drives cost $200 which is why that is being subtracted. To calculate the break-even number of sales we need to make a total of 200 to cover the costs. We calculate this by matching the equation to 0 and solving for x...
0 = 8x - 200 ... add 200 on both sides
200 = 8x ... divide both sides by 8
25 = x
Finally, we can see that the committee will break even after selling 25 thumb drives which would make them $200 to cover all of their costs.
What's a regular heptagon? "Hept-" means seven, so a "heptagon" is a seven-sided shape. A "regular" figure's sides are all the same length. So, each of the 7 sides are the same length.
Remember, perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all the sides in a polygon. We know one side measures three inches, so each of the others must also measure 3 inches. 3+3+3+3+3+3+3=3*7=21 inches.
Answer: 21 inches

Answer:
- 100 pounds Earl Grey
- 300 pounds Orange Pekoe
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of pounds of Earl Gray tea in the mix. Then the total cost of the mix is ...
6x +4(400-x)=4.50(400)
2x +1600 = 1800 . . . . . . . simplify
2x = 200 . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 1600
x = 100 . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 2. Pounds of Earl Grey
(400 -x) = 300 . . . . . Pounds of Orange Pekoe
The blend should have 100 pounds of Earl Grey and 300 pounds of Orange Pekoe.

<em>Additional comment</em>
It is easy to show that the relationship between the quantities of high-cost (H) and low-cost (L) items in the mix (M) is ...
fraction of mix that is H is (M -L)/(H -L)
Here, we have H=6, L=4, M=4.5, so the fraction of the mix that is Earl Grey is ...
(4.5 -4)/(6 -4) = 0.5/2 = 0.25
There are 400 pounds of mix, so 0.25(400) = 100 pounds is Earl Grey.
The solution above is essentially 2-step, so using this relation doesn't necessarily save any steps. It just makes it possible to solve the problem in your head.
