If 5 tickets cost $11.00, how much do 20 tickets cost?

Answers

Answer: 44 dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

so there is two ways to do this so ill show you both and you can see which one is easier for you!

method 1- divide the total amount of tickets by the amount with the cost. Then multiply that number by the cost

20/5=4     4*11=44

method 2- divide the money by the number with the cost. Then multiply it by the total amount of tickets.

11/5=2.2     2.2*20=44

Bryce bought a bag of cashews.he served 7/8 pound of cashews at a party. This amount represents 2/3 of the entire bag. The equation 2/3n =7/8 can be used to find the number of pounds n in a full bag how many pounds of cashews were in the bag Bryce bought?

Answers

ok so for this problem you you divide 2/3 n by 2/3 and 7/8 by 2/3
you get n= (7)/(8) /  (2)/(3)
to divide fraction you flip the divider over to find the reciprocal
2/3 > 3/2 also you change the division symbol to the multiplication symbol
the equation now is n=  (7)/(8) * (3)/(2)
now you multiply to get 21/16 
the answer is 1 5/16 after you simplify it

Answer: Hello there!

We know that 7/8 lb is equivalent to 2/3 of the entire bag, then the equation to find the number of pounds in the original bag is:

(2/3)*n = 7/8lb

and we want to find the number n.

The first step is divide both sides of the equation by 2/3 (or multiply both sides by 3/2 )

then

(3/2)*(2/3)*n = (3/2)*(7/8)lb

n = (3*7)/(2*8)lb = 21/16lb

now we can "break" the 21 in 16 + 5

n = (21/16)lb = (16 + 5)/16lb = (1 + 5/16)lb

Find the discount. regular price = $100; discount rate = 35%



A.
$350


B.
$35


C.
$3.50


D.
$65

Answers

As the amount is $100 dollars, you will have to find what 35% of this is. The best way to do this is to divide both 100 and 35 by ten, giving you ten and 3.5. AS 10 is 10% of 100, you should then multiply then, by three and half, therefore, giving you 35- meaning the discount is $35 dollars. Hope this helps

100\cdot35\%=100\cdot0.35=\$35

Which equations illustrate the associative property of addition? Choose exactly two answers that are correct. A. (11 + 2.2) + (–5) = 11 + [2.2 + (–5)]
B. –3 • (5 + 8.5) = –3 • 5 + (–3) • 8.5
C. + 1.8 = 1.8 +
D. –7 + [4 + (–2.1 • 6)] = (–7 + 4) + (–2.1 • 6)

Answers

Solutions 

Associative Property is a rule that refers to grouping. The rule is "a + (b + c) = (a + b) + c". 

The correct answers are (A) and (D) 

(A) =  (11 + 2.2) + (–5) = 11 + [2.2 + (–5)] 

(D) = 
–7 + [4 + (–2.1 • 6)] = (–7 + 4) + (–2.1 • 6)

Standard form to slope-intercept form
4x+3y=12

Answers

Slope intercept form is : y = mx + b

Lets convert!

4x + 3y = 12
-4x            -4x

12 - 4x = 3y

3y/3 = 12 - 4x/3

12/3 = 4

y = -4/3x + 4

Answer:  y = - (4)/(3) x + 4

4x+3y=12        12/3= 4     4x/3= 1.3
-4         -4 but you can't subtract x so divide 3.

Answers 
y=1.3x+4
