To find the value decrease per month, we divide the total decrease ($4000) by the number of months (12).

$4000 ÷ 12 = $333.33

Therefore, the value decreases by $333.33 per month.
It is recommended that hikers drink 24 ounces of water an hour. If a canteen has 24 ounces of water, how much should the amount of water in the canteen change every 10 minutes?(1 point)
Responses

4 ounces
To find the change in the amount of water in the canteen every 10 minutes, we divide the recommended amount of water per hour (24 ounces) by the number of 10-minute intervals in an hour (6).

24 ounces ÷ 6 = 4 ounces

Therefore, the amount of water in the canteen should change by 4 ounces every 10 minutes.

−1,225/8
To solve the given expression:

First, we can simplify the division of fractions:
(9) ÷ (5/4) = 9 * (4/5) = 36/5

Next, we can multiply the remaining fractions:
36/5 * (7/9) = (36 * 7) / (5 * 9) = 252/45

Finally, we can divide by another fraction:
252/45 * (-5)/(7/2) = (252/45) * (-5) * (2/7) = (252 * (-5) * 2) / (45 * 7) = -2520/315 = -8

Therefore, the value of the expression is -8.
Solve this multi-step problem. A runner completes 1/4 of a 5-mile race every 8 minutes. At the same pace, how far can the runner go in 16 minutes?(1 point)

1/8 mile
Start Fraction 1 over 8 End Fraction mile

2 Start Fraction 1 over 2 End Fraction miles

160 miles
160 miles

1 1/0 mile
To find out how far the runner can go in 16 minutes at the same pace, we can set up a proportion:

(1/4 mile) / (8 minutes) = x / 16 minutes

Cross-multiplying, we get:
(1/4) * 16 = 8 * x
4 = 8x

Dividing both sides by 8, we find:
x = 1/2 mile

Therefore, the runner can go 1/2 mile in 16 minutes at the same pace.
Its not correct
I apologize for the error. Let's correct the solution:

The runner completes 1/4 of a 5-mile race every 8 minutes. To find out how far the runner can go in 16 minutes at the same pace, we can set up a proportion:

(1/4 mile) / (8 minutes) = x / 16 minutes

Cross-multiplying, we get:
8 * x = (1/4) * 16
8x = 4
x = 4/8
x = 1/2

Therefore, the runner can go 1/2 mile in 16 minutes at the same pace.
thats not a choice
Apologies for the confusion. Let's revisit the solution:

The runner completes 1/4 of a 5-mile race every 8 minutes. To find out how far the runner can go in 16 minutes at the same pace, we need to determine how many fractions of the race the runner completes in 16 minutes.

In 8 minutes, the runner completes 1/4 of the race. Therefore, in 16 minutes, the runner would complete 2 times the fraction of the race.

2 * 1/4 = 1/2

Thus, the runner can go 1/2 mile in 16 minutes at the same pace.

Therefore, the correct answer is:

1/2 mile
Start Fraction 1 over 2 End Fraction miles
so its 2 1/2 miles
Apologies for the confusion. You are correct. In 16 minutes, a runner can complete 2 times the fraction of the race completed in 8 minutes.

2 * 1/4 = 2/4 = 1/2

Since the total race is 5 miles and the runner completes 1/2 of the race in 16 minutes, the distance the runner can go in 16 minutes is:

5 miles * 1/2 = 2 1/2 miles

Therefore, the correct answer is:

2 1/2 miles

To find the total change in the amount of water in the tank after 6 days, we need to determine how much water is lost in each day and then multiply it by the number of days.

The tank decreases by 10 gallons every 3 hours. There are 24 hours in a day, so there are 8 sets of 3 hours in a day (24 / 3 = 8).

Therefore, the tank loses 10 gallons * 8 sets = 80 gallons every day.

Multiplying this loss by the number of days (6), we get the total change in the amount of water in the tank:

80 gallons * 6 days = 480 gallons

Therefore, the correct answer is:

480 gallons

Start Fraction 1 over 3 End Fraction times 150 divided by Start Fraction 1 over 4 End Fraction

1/3÷150÷4
To find the number of calories per serving in the recipe, we need to multiply the amount of yogurt used (1/3 of a container) by the number of calories in one container (150 calories), and then divide by the number of servings (4 servings).

Therefore, the correct set of calculations would be:

1/3 × 150 ÷ 4.
Use the properties of operations and rules for multiplying and dividing to solve:

(−3)÷(3/4)×(2/7)×(−5/16)÷(5/7)

(1 point)
To solve the given expression:

First, we can simplify the division of fractions:
(−3) ÷ (3/4) = −3 * (4/3) = −12/3 = -4

Next, we can multiply the remaining fractions:
-4 * (2/7) * (-5/16) * (5/7) = (-4 * 2 * (-5) * 5) / (7 * 16 * 7) = 200 / 784

Finally, let's simplify the fraction:
200 / 784 = 25 / 98

Therefore, the value of the expression is 25/98.
incorrect
Apologies for the mistake. Let's correct the solution:

To solve the given expression:

First, we can simplify the division of fractions:
(−3) ÷ (3/4) = −3 * (4/3) = -12/3 = -4

Next, we can multiply the remaining fractions:
-4 * (2/7) * (-5/16) * (5/7) = (-4 * 2 * (-5) * 5) / (7 * 16 * 7) = 400 / (7840) = 1/19.6

Therefore, the value of the expression is 1/19.6.
How many ounces are in 1/2 of 1/5 of a 10-ounce block of cheese?(1 point)
To find out how many ounces are in 1/2 of 1/5 of a 10-ounce block of cheese, we can multiply the fractions:

1/2 * 1/5 * 10

First, let's simplify the fractions:
1/2 * 1/5 = 1/10

Now, we can multiply the fractions and the whole number:
1/10 * 10 = 1

Therefore, there is 1 ounce in 1/2 of 1/5 of a 10-ounce block of cheese.
A group of 9 people won 1/5 of a $4,500 prize. How much money did each person in the group win?
To find out how much money each person in the group won, we need to divide the total prize by the number of people in the group.

The group of 9 people won 1/5 of a $4,500 prize. To find the amount each person won, we can calculate:

(1/5) * $4,500 = $900

Therefore, each person in the group won $900.
nope
Apologies for the mistake. Let's correct the solution:

To find out how much money each person in the group won, we need to divide the total prize by the number of people in the group.

The group of 9 people won 1/5 of a $4,500 prize. To find the amount each person won, we can calculate:

(1/5) * $4,500 = $900

Since there are 9 people in the group, we can divide the total prize evenly among them:

$900 / 9 = $100

Therefore, each person in the group won $100.
