- One-fourth of the guests brought a dessert.

- The rest of the guests brought chips.

How many guests brought chips?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: 10 guests brought chips. To find the total number of guests who brought each item, all you need to do is divide 24 by the number in the fractions denominator. Then, add your answers and subtract them from 24 to get the total number of guests who brought chips.

24 / 3 = 8
8 guests brought drinks.

24 / 4 = 6
6 guests brought desserts.

6 + 8 = 14
24 - 14 = 10
10 guests brought chips.

Enter your answer in the box.
cubic inches

Answers

Answer:

82,944 cubic inches

Step-by-step explanation:

First convert all units to inches

1 yard = 36 inches

1 foot = 12 inches

Therefore, 2 yards =  2*36 = 72 inches

                 2 feet = 2* 12 = 24 inches

Volume = Length * height * depth

Volume = 72* 24* 48

Volume = 82,944 cubic inches

Answer:

82,944 inches cubed

Step-by-step explanation:

2 yards = 72 inches

2 feet = 24 inches

72 × 24 × 48 inches = 82,944 inches cubed

You have 1 case of soap bars and there are 150 bars in a case. You use 300 bars of soap per day. How many cases do you need to order to have enough for 7 days?*

Answers

Answer:
14 cases

Explanation:
First, we will need to find the number of cases needed per day:
We know that one case includes 150 bars and that the daily consumption is 300 bars. To know the number of cases needed daily, we will use cross multiplication as follows:
1 case .............> 150 bars
?? cases .........> 300 bars
number of cases needed daily = (300*1)/(150)
number of cases needed daily = 2 cases

Then, we will get the number of cases needed weekly (7 days):
We know that 2 cases are needed daily. To know the number of cases needed weekly (7 days), we will simply use cross multiplication as follows:
1 day .............> 2 cases
7 days ...........> ?? cases
number of cases needed weekly = (7*2)/(1)
number of cases needed weekly = 14 cases
