Answer:
1/8th cup of marshmallows in each mug
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to split up the 1/2 cup of marhsmallows into 4 cups, you have to divide.
To divide, 1/2 by 4, you have to multiply 1/2 by the reciprocal of 4, which is 1/4.
1/2 x 1/4 = 1/8
3/5= 18/30, 2/6= 10/30, so Tom jogged 8/30 more of a mile on Monday then tuesday
In this problem, we need to plug in the given x values for
and find a and b.
When we plug in 1, we get:
Simplify:
We got our first statement about the values of the variables. If we find one more we can find those 2 variables.
We have another given root: 4.
Plug it in:
Now we have our second one. We can combine them:
I use elimination method which is easier here.
Multiply the top equation by -1:
Add them up:
Simplify:
Now we have a, we can plug in one of those equations to find b:
So, the answers are
and
