Carol has 2 1/2 strawberry pies left over from a family reunion. If each serving is 1/8 of a pie how many servings does she have?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: The first thing you do is to make 2 1/2 a top-heavy fraction:
2 1/2 = 2 X 2 + 1 = 5/2

Now it's just division with fractions.
5/2 / 1/8

All you have to do is switch the 8 and the 1 around and then change the divide sign in a X:
5/2 X 8/1 =
40/2 = 20/1.

Carol has 20 servings of strawberry pie left.

60 In which number does the digit 8 have a value that is 1,000 times greater than the digit 8 in the number349,257.83?
(A) 291.308
(B) 6,815.4
(C) 18,390.65
(D) 906,784.51

Answers

The answer is B. The best way I remember rules for a problem like this is looking at the zeros. By counting the number of zeros, that helps determine how many places to move a number up or down. In this case, 1000 has 3 zeros, hence the 8 gets moved 3 places upwards. Leaving it in the hundreds place.

2x + y = 7
-x + y = 1

Answers

2x + y = 7 ---> ( 1st equation )
-x + y = 1 ---> ( 2nd equation)

Let's solve this problem by substitution method
So let's set 2nd equation to y equals
-x + y = 1 ---> ( 2nd equation)
adding x on both sides
y = 1 + x ---> (3rd Equation )

Substituting the value of y in equation 1
2x + x + 1 = 7
subtracting 1 from both sides
2x + x = 6
adding like terms on the left side
3x = 6
dividing both sides by 3
x = 2

Substituting the value of x in 2nd equation
-x + y = 1
-2 + y = 1
adding 2 on both sides
y = 1 + 2
y = 3

So, our answer is x = 2
y = 3

To check the answer pick any equation and substitute the values of x and y check check if it is equal to Right hand side
2(2) + 3 = 7 ( substituting in 1st equation)
4 + 3 = 7
7 = 7

-2 + 3 = 1 ( substituting in 2nd equation)
1 = 1

Hence proved.

Hope this helps you. :D

2x+y=7
-x+y =1 --> y = 1+x

Substitution y -->
2x+1+x=7;
3x+1=7;
3x=6;
x=2
y=1+2=3

x=2, y=3

What is 100/5 in simplest form? btw i already know the answer

Answers

so eventhough you know the answer
the answer is to factor, make ones
another way is use calculator or long division

so factor and make 1's
exg 2/4=1/2 because 2/4=1/2 times 2/2 and 2/2=1 so 1/2 times 1=1/2 so

100=2 times 2 times 5 times 5
5=5
so 10/5=(2 ties 2 times 5 times 5)/5=(2 times 2 times 5)/1 times 5/5=(2 times 2 times 5)/1 times 1=(20)/1=20
the answer is 20
