A bag contains 2 5/8 pounds of candy. If the candy is equally distributed to seven children, how many pounds will each child get

3/8

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount of pounds of candy = 2 5/8

Number of children = 7

Amount of candy each child gets if divided equally :

Amount of pounds of candy ÷ number of children

2 5/8 ÷ 7

21/8 ÷ 7

21/8 * 1/7

21/56

= 3/8

Hence, each child gets 3/8 pounds of candy.

b

step-by-step explanation:

given

- 2 (3x + 12y - 5 - 17x - 16y + 4 )

simplify the parenthesis by collecting like terms

= - 2 (- 14x - 4y - 1) ← distribute the parenthesis by - 2

= 28x + 8y + 2 → b

$450.00 for 6 weeks

or

$300

step-by-step explanation:

$200.00 for first week $50.00 x5 equals $250 plus $200 equals $450.00 for six weeks.

$200 for first week

$200 x 0.10 = $20

$20 x 5 = $100

$200 + $100 = $300
