Question:
Felicia makes ½ gallon of fruit punch. She pours an equal amount into 8 glasses.
What fraction of a gallon fruit punch is in each glass?
Answer:
The fraction of a gallon fruit punch is in each glass is 1/16
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Size of fruit punch = ½ gallon
Number of glass = 8
Required
Fraction of a gallon fruit punch is in each glass?
To solve this question, the following assumption has to be made.
- The 8 glass cups are of equal sizes.
Having said that;
The interpretation of the question is that, the fruit is evenly distributed into the 8 glass cups.
Mathematically, the size of the fruit punch will be divided by the number of glass cups.
So, we have
Fraction = ½ ÷ 8 (convert ÷ to *)
Fraction = ½ * ⅛
Fraction = 1/16
Hence, the fraction of a gallon fruit punch is in each glass is 1/16
Two say to the sixth power is 420 which equals 12 which would take 420÷12 which is 2002 10 200 to 6 power is 420÷64 = 36
The following information will help us with this problem:
![\sqrt[m]{x^n} = x^{\frac{n}{m}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Csqrt%5Bm%5D%7Bx%5En%7D%20%3D%20x%5E%7B%5Cfrac%7Bn%7D%7Bm%7D)
When we use that information in the context of this problem, we can find:
![\sqrt[4]{15^7} = 15^{\frac{7}{4}}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Csqrt%5B4%5D%7B15%5E7%7D%20%3D%2015%5E%7B%5Cfrac%7B7%7D%7B4%7D%7D)
Thus, a = 15, b = 7, and c = 4.
The slope of the line, is the one with an variable, in this case x. The other value, 27.52, is the y intercept, which would represent how much money he began with. So the variable 17.63x represents how much he could expect to make per week. We know it is per week because there is only a single x, if there were two x's it would be per 2 weeks, three x's per 3 weeks and so on.
From this we can conclude the answer is B, Aidan can expect to save about $17.63 each week
