If you are asking for what the tax is then you take x over 140.88 and 7 over 100 and you cross multiply to get 100x and 986.16 then you divide 100x and 986.16 both by 100 so you get x = 9.8616 but sense .0016 are not cents you round that and get $9.86 as your Tax price and the total amount you would end up paying would be 9.86 + 140.88 which is 150.74 so you would end up paying $150.74 all together but the Tax of 7% is 9.86 for this problem Hope this helped

A homemade lip balm consists of coconut oil and beeswax. Coconut oil costs $0.50 per ounce and beeswax costs $2.00 per ounce. If

Alika [10]

Let

a--------> the total cost in dollars of $6$ ounces of coconut oil

b--------> the total cost in dollars of $5$ ounces of beeswax

we know that

$a=0.50 \frac{\$}{ounce}*6=\$3$

$b=2.00 \frac{\$}{ounce}*5=\$10$

therefore

the answer is

the total cost in dollars of $6$ ounces of coconut oil is $a=\$3$

the total cost in dollars of $5$ ounces ofbeeswax is $b=\$10$

During a field trip, 60 students are put into equal-sized groups. Describe two ways to interpret 60÷5 60 ÷ 5 in this context. Fi

Afina-wow [57]

The second question:

Consider the division expression $7\frac{1}{2} / 2$ . Select all multiplication equations that correspond to this division expression.

$2 * ? = 7\frac{1}{2}$ $7\frac{1}{2} * ?= 2$ $? * 2 = 7\frac{1}{2}$

$2* 7\frac{1}{2} = ?$ $? * 7\frac{1}{2} = 2$

Answer:

1. See Explanation

2. $2 * ? = 7\frac{1}{2}$ and $? * 2 = 7\frac{1}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Solving (a):

Given

$Students = 60$

$Group = Equal\ Sized$

Required

Interpret $\frac{60}{5}$ in 2 ways

Interpretation 1: Number of groups if there are 5 students in each

Interpretation 2: Number of students in each group if there are 5 groups

Solving the quotient

$Quotient = \frac{60}{5}$

$Quotient = 12$

For Interpretation 1:

The quotient means: 12 groups

For Interpretation 2:

The quotient means: 12 students

Solving (b):

Given

$7\frac{1}{2} / 2$

Required

Select all equivalent multiplication equations

Let ? be the quotient of t $7\frac{1}{2} / 2$

So, we have:

$7\frac{1}{2}/2 = ?$

Multiply through by 2

$2 * 7\frac{1}{2}/2 = ? * 2$

$7\frac{1}{2} = ? * 2$

Rewrite as:

$? * 2 = 7\frac{1}{2}$ --- This is 1 equivalent expression

Apply commutative law of addition:

$2 * ? = 7\frac{1}{2}$ --- This is another equivalent expression

Which statement shows how two polynomials 4x + 6 and 2x2 − 8x demonstrate the closure property when multiplied?

steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

$8x^{3} -20x^{2} -48x$ is a polynomial

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : polynomials $4x+6$ and $2x^{2} -8x$

Solution:

$(4x+6)*(2x^{2} -8x)$

$4x(2x^{2} -8x)+6(2x^{2} -8x)$

$8x^{3} -32x^{2}+12x^{2} -48x$

$8x^{3} -20x^{2} -48x$

Polynomial :An expression of more than two algebraic terms, especially the sum of several terms that contain different powers of the same variable.

Thus $8x^{3} -20x^{2} -48x$ is a polynomial

Hence option A is correct.
