Answer:

3 people

Step-by-step explanation:

$51/$17 = 3 people

- We know to start with $51 dollars because that is the total price of the meal.

- We also know each meal costs $17.

- Next, ask youself what we are trying to find? We are trying to find how many people are eating.

- Therefore to find that we need to take our starting amount $51 divided by $17 because that is the cost of 1 meal.

- $51/$17 = 3 people (whole cost/individual cost = # of people)

- To check this take 3 x 17 = 51 (Now we know it is correct)

- If you would like a further explanation please let me know.

Venita is factoring the expression 32 a b minus 8 b. She determines the GCF and writes the factored expression as 8 b (4 a minus
never [62]

Answer:

She subtracted the GCF from the second term in the expression instead of dividing.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression 32ab-8b, to find the common greatest factor, we will bring out a function that us common to both terms 32ab and 8b. To do that, we need to first find their individual factors as shown:

32ab = (2×2×2)×2×2×a×(b)

8b = (2×2×2×b)

From both factors, the common terms are the values in parenthesis i.e 2×2×2×b = 8b

Hence the GCF of the expression 32ab - 8b is 8b. On factoring out 8b from the expression we will have;

= 32ab - 8b

= 8b(32ab/8b - 8b/8b)

= 8b(4a-1)

Comparing the gotten equation with Venita's own, 8b(4a-0), we can say that she correctly factored out the GCF but her error was that she subtracted 8b from the second term of the expression instead of dividing by 8b. 8b-8b is what gives her 0 making her expression wrong. She should have divided her second term also by 8b to have 8b/8b which results in 1 instead of 0 that venita got.

Giselle wants to buy a condo that has a purchase price of $163,000. giselle earns $2,986 a month and wants to spend no more than
Alborosie
The condo costs $163,000, earns $2,986 per month, spends no more than 25% of her income, then if she pays $33,000 for the down payment, the remaining amount would be $130,000. Since 20% of the initial cost is only $32,600, she can adjust her down payment to 20.25% of the initial cost so that the annual payments would be less.

Ramon wants to plant cucumbers and tomatoes in his garden. He has room for
yarga [219]

Answer:

Number of Cucumbers = 12

Number of Tomatoes = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let number of cucumber be c and number of tomatoes be t

Since he has room for 16 plants, we can write:

c + t = 16

He wants to plant 3 times as many cucumbers as tomatoes. We can write:

c = 3t

We can substitute this in 1st equation and solve for t:

c + t = 16

3t + t = 16

4t = 16

t = 16/4 = 4

And c = 3t

c = 3(4) = 12

Number of Cucumbers = 12

Number of Tomatoes = 4
