Sara divided up her dessert among her family. She gave her daughter 1/8 of the dessert, her son 1/4 of the
dessert, and her husband 3/8 of the dessert. How much of the dessert was left for Sara?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

¹/₄

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Daughter = 1/8 of the dessert.Son = 1/4 of the dessert.Husband = 3/8 of the dessert.

The dessert is the "whole", i.e. equal to 1.

To find how much of the dessert was left, subtract all the given portions from 1:

[tex]\begin{aligned}\textsf{Dessert left for Sara} & = 1-\dfrac{1}{8}-\dfrac{1}{4}-\dfrac{3}{8}\\\\& = \dfrac{8}{8}-\dfrac{1}{8}-\dfrac{2}{8}-\dfrac{3}{8}\\\\& = \dfrac{8-1-2-3}{8}\\\\& = \dfrac{2}{8}\\\\& = \dfrac{1}{4}\end{aligned}[/tex]

Therefore, ¹/₄ of the dessert was left for Sara.

Answer 2

Answer:

2/8 (or) 1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount of desert she served is,

→ 1/8 + 1/4 + 3/8

→ (1 + 2 + 3)/8

→ 6/8

Then amount of desert left for Sara is,

→ 1/1 - 6/8

→ (8 - 6)/8

→ 2/8 (or) 1/4

Hence, she was left with 2/8 of desert.

the sporting goods store sold 10 balls, 3 bats, and 2 bases for $99 on Monday. They sold 4 balls, 8 bats, and 2 bases for $78 on Tuesday. On Wednesday they sold 2 balls 3 bats and 1 base for 33.60. What is the cost of each individual item?

Answers

Answer:

ball: $8.00bat: $5.40base: $1.40

Step-by-step explanation:

Given three relations between the costs of balls, bats, and bases, you want to find the cost of each.

10 balls + 3 bats + 2 bases = $994 balls + 8 bats + 2 bases = $782 balls + 3 bats + 1 base = $33.60

Solution

Solving three linear equations in three unknowns can be accomplished easily by any number of calculators, apps, or spreadsheets. Here, we'll use an ad hoc solution.

Subtracting twice the third equation from the second, we have ...

  (4 balls + 8 bats + 2 bases) -(2(2 balls + 3 bats + 1 base) = 78 -2(33.60)

  2 bats = 10.80 . . . . . . . simplify

  1 bat = 5.40 . . . . . . divide by 2

Subtracting the second equation from the first, we have ...

  (10 balls +3 bats +2 bases) -(4 balls +8 bats +2 bases) = (99) -(78)

  6 balls -5 bats = 21 . . . . . simplify

  6 balls = 21 + 5(5.40) . . . . . add 5 bats and substitute their cost

  6 balls = 48 . . . . . . . . simplify

  1 ball = 8.00 . . . . . . . divide by 6

Using the last equation, we can find the cost of 1 base.

  1 base = 33.60 -2 balls -3 bats = 33.60 -2(8.00) -3(5.40)

  1 base = 1.40

The costs are ...

  1 ball: $8.00

  1 bat: $5.40

  1 base: $1.40

Is the relationship between the side length of a square and its area proportional?

Answers

The relationship between the length of a side and the area is non proportional.

The answer is non proportional because the side length is x,

so is the other side lengths.

The side lengths are all equal and to find area you do x squared or x times x.

So they are not proportional because there will be different numbers for each.

For example. X= 2, area ( x squared ) is 4.

Hence, The relationship between the length of a side and the area is non proportional.

A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three.

A magnetic levitation train travels between the city center of shanghai china and pudong international airport. the trip covers 30 kilometers i'm just 8 minutes. what is the average speed of the train in miles per hour

Answers

Average speed of the train as it covered 30 kilometers in 8 minutes is equal to 139.8 miles per hour.

As given,

Total distance= 30 kilometers

Total time taken = 8 minutes

1 kilometer = 0.62137 miles

30 kilometers = 30 × 0.62137

                     = 18.641 miles

8 minutes = ( 8 / 60) hour

Average speed= total distance / total time taken

                                          = 18.641 / (8/60)

                                          = 139.8 miles/ hour

Therefore, average speed of the train as it covered 30 kilometers in 8 minutes is equal to 139.8 miles per hour.

We get that the solution for the equation 4 x² - 7 x = 3 x + 24 as 4 or 3 / 2.

We are given an equation:

4 x² - 7 x = 3 x + 24

We need to solve it for x.

4 x² - 7 x - 3 x = 24

4 x ² - 10 x = 24

4 x ² - 10 x - 24 = 0

4 x² - 16 x + 6 x - 24 = 0

4 x( x - 4) + 6( x - 4) = 0

(x - 4)(4 x + 6) = 0

Solving for x, we get that:

x = 4 or x = 6 / 4 = 3 / 2.

Kevin went shopping for a new scooter. He bought one on sale for 15% off its regular price of $140. If sales tax is 8%, what was the total cost of the scooter?

Answers

Answer:

128.52

Step-by-step explanation:

140 × (1-0.15) = 119

119 × 1.08 = 128.52

Answer:

$128.52

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly to find the price of the scooter, you divide 140 by 100 and then multiply it by 15. The answer is what you subtract from the original price.

15(140/100) = 21

140 - 21 = 119

Now that we have the price of the scooter after the discount, we need to figure out the price of the sales tax. Sales tax is based on the reduced price, so we need to take the same steps as before to find the price. Divide 119 by 100, then multiply it by 8, then add the total to 119.

8(119/100) = 9.52

119 + 9.52 = 128.52

Answer = $128.52

Salma can rent the car for at most 5 days while driving 275 miles

Although part of your question is missing, you might be referring to this full question: A rental car company charges $22.50 per day to rent a car and $0.10 for every mile driven. Salma wants to rent a car, knowing that: she plans to drive 275 miles. She has at most $140 to spend. Write and solve an inequality which can be used to determine, the number of days Salma can afford to rent the car while staying within her budget

The equation which addresses this problem is:

22.5x + 0.10(275) <=140

Let x be the number of days Salma can afford to rent the car

Per day rent of the car = $22.5

Cost per mile = $0.10

Plan to drive = 275 miles

Budget with Salma = $140

Equation:

22.5x + 0.10(275) <= 140

Solving the equation we get x <= 5

So, Salma can rent the car for at most 5 days while driving 275 miles
