There are 5 cookies on a plate. alicia eats 1 1/2 cookies stuart eats 2 1/3 cookies how many cookies are left on the plate?

Step-by-step explanation:

Alicia eats 1 and 1/2 (Which means 1 cookie and a half of a cookie, or 0.5.)

Stuart eats 2 and 1/3 (Which means 2 cookies and one third of a cookie, or 0.3333+. Basically, 1/3 means let's say you have a pie. You cut the pie into 3 separate pieces. You eat 2 seperate pieces. You have one left. You have one out of the three, which means 1/3.)

So, you want to  add both of those up.

1 + 2 = 3

1/2 + 1/3

To add fractions, you have to get the denominators (Bottom number of the fraction) equal.

So, the least common multiple (LCM) is 6.

Why? let's lay them out.

2: 2, 4, 6

3: 3, 6

These are the LEAST common multiple.

So, you should have

1/6 and 1/6.

Now add the amount of times you did to the numerator (Top number)

So, 1/2

2 + 2 + 2 = 6

3 times, so multiply the numerator by 3.

1 x 3 = 3

3/6

So next, 1/3.

3 + 3 = 6

2 times, so multiply the numerator by 2.

2/6.

Add them both

2/6 + 3/6 = 5/6 (Do not add denominator if they are equal)

+ 3

3 and 5/6 cookies eaten, so

5 - 3 5/6 = 1 & 1/6

1 and 1/6 cookies are left on the plate.

step-by-step explanation:

step-by-step explanation:

let's assume

number of candles set =x

price of of x candles =p(x)

we are given

a candle maker prices one set of scented candles at $10 and sells an average of 200 sets each week

so, we get point as (200,10)

he finds that when he reduces the price by $1, he then sells 50 more candle sets each week

so, we can find slope

now, we can use point slope form of line

now, we can plug values

we can use point

and find b

now, we can plug it back

and we get

now, we can find revenue

we know that

revenue = price*quantity

so, we get
