Question #25:
One way to solve this is by multiplying the number of packages per serving by the number of guests.
1/4 * 16 = 4 packages to serve 16 guests. This means he doesn't have enough.
A second way to solve this is by diving the number of packages by the number of packages it takes to make on serving.
3 1/2 ÷ 1/4 = 14 guests he can serve. This means he doesn't have enough.
Question #26:
First, find common denominators.
2/3 = 8/12
1/4 = 3/12
Second, subtract.
8/12 - 3/12 = 5/12
Therefore, the tank is 5/12 full at the end of the trip.
Question #27:
1/2 is cut off then 1/3 is cut off. This means 3/6 was cut off to bundle newspapers, then 1/6 was cut off to make parcel. In all, 4/6 was cut off the original string. Afterwards, 2/6 was left over. So, just multiply; 2 * 3 = 6.
Therefore, the original string was as a total of 6 meters.
Best of Luck!
-4x + 8y = 2
-4x + 4x + 8y = 2 + 4x
8y = 4x + 2
8 8
y = ¹/₂x + ¹/₄
<span>D. One hundred random students from the sixth grade is the best choice given!

Reasons why the other answers and not good choices.
A. The first 100 students from an alphabetical list of the entire school, is incorrect because his only concern is the 6th graders, by including everyone he would negatively skew the data.
B. The first 100 students from an alphabetical list of sixth graders, is incorrect because its unfair to those with names starting later in the alphabet.
C. One hundred random students from the entire school </span>is is better but still incorrect because his only concern is the 6th graders, <span>by including everyone he would again negatively skew the data.</span>

Answer:
(f- g)(x) = x - 3
Step-by-step explanation:
(f- g)(x) = f(x) - g(x)
This means that you have to subtract the two equation.
If f(x) = 3x - 2 and g(x) = 2x + 1
Then
f(x) - g(x) = [3x - 2] - [2x+1]
= 3x - 2- 2x - 1
= x - 3
∴ (f- g)(x) = x - 3
