ANSWER

$\frac{x - 4}{2x - 2}$

EXPLANATION

The given expression is;

$\frac{2 {x}^{2} + 5x + 3}{ {x}^{2} - 3x - 4} \div \frac{4 {x}^{2} + 2x - 6}{ {x}^{2} - 8x + 16}$

We factor to obtain;

$\frac{(x + 1)(2x + 3)}{(x - 4)(x + 1)} \div \frac{2(x - 1)(2x + 3)}{(x - 4)(x - 4)}$

Multiply by the reciprocal of the second fraction

$\frac{(x + 1)(2x + 3)}{(x - 4)(x + 1)} \times \frac{(x - 4)(x - 4)}{2(x - 1)(2x + 3)}$

Cancel out common factors to get,

$\frac{1}{1} \times \frac{(x - 4)}{2(x - 1)}$

$\frac{x - 4}{2x - 2}$

Dwayne buys ingredients to make a cake. He buys 112 pounds of flour, 12 ounces of coconut, and 114 pounds of sugar. What is the

Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

The only correct options are A, B and E.

Step-by-step explanation:

He buys $1\frac{1}{2}$ pounds of flour, 12 ounces of coconut, and $1\frac{1}{4}$ pounds of sugar.

We will add these together, but before that, we convert the 12 ounces to pounds, so that all the units are the same:

1 ounce = 0.0625 pounds

12 ounces = 12 * 0.0625 = $\frac{3}{4}$ pounds

He buys $\frac{3}{4}$ pounds of coconut.

Adding all of them together yields:

$1\frac{1}{2}$ + $\frac{3}{4}$ + $1\frac{1}{4}$ = $3\frac{1}{2}$ pounds

Let us also convert to ounces:

$3\frac{1}{2}$ / 0.0625 = 56 ounces

Let us also convert 1/2 pound to ounces:

1/2 / 0.0625 = 8 ounces

Hence, the total weight of ingredients that Dwayne bought is $3\frac{1}{2}$ pounds or 56 ounces or 3 pounds 8 ounces

Hence, options A, B and E are correct.

Ben is eating some pretzels and an entire small package of mustard as a snack. Based on

olasank [31]

Please consider the attached graph.

We have been given that Ben is eating some pretzels and an entire small package of mustard as a snack. We are asked to find the equation that represents the relationship between the number of pretzels that Ben eats, x, and the total amount of sodium in his snack, y.

First of all, we will find the slope of the line using points (1,80) and (5,140).

$m=\frac{140-80}{5-1}$

$m=\frac{60}{4}$

$m=15$

Now we will use point-slope form of equation $y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$ , where m represents slope of line and point $(x_1,y_1)$ is on the line.

We will substitute $m=15$ and coordinates of point (1,80) in above equation.

$y-80=15(x-1)$

$y-80=15x-15$

$y-80+80=15x-15+80$

$y=15x+65$

Therefore, the equation $y=15x+65$ represents the relationship between the number of pretzels that Ben eats and the total amount of sodium in his snack.

Tickets to a show cost $5.50 for adults and $4.25 for students. A family is purchasing 2 adult tickets and 3 student tickets. If

larisa [96]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The cost of an adult ticket to the show is $5.5

The cost of a student ticket to the show is $4.25

A family is purchasing 2 adult tickets and 3 student tickets. This means that the total cost of 2 adult tickets would be

2 × 5.5 = $11

It also means that the total cost of 3 student tickets would be

3 × 4.25 = $12.75

The total cost of 2 adult tickets and 3 student tickets would be

11 + 12.75 = $23.75

If the family pays $25, the exact amount of change they should receive is

25 - 23.75 = $1.25
