the quotient of 8 and twice a number z ?

Question

shane_b · Answer

The quotient is the result of a division.  For example, the quotient of 6 and 3 (that's 6 divided by 3) is 2.  So what do you think the answer should be?

anonymous · Answer

4/z is the answer.
Best of luck (:

shane_b · Answer

@pudding: do you understand why that's the answer?

anonymous · Answer

heyy thankss but i don't get it is it : 8/2 ???

shane_b · Answer

Close...$$\frac{8}{2z}=\frac{4}{z}$$Does it make sense now?

anonymous · Answer

yes :D thank you!  do you know how to find the unit rate of 75$/5 video games ?? i dont know how u find the unit rate

anonymous · Answer

Just divide 75 by 5

anonymous · Answer

Just like the previous question (:

shane_b · Answer

The unit rate is simply the quotient of 75/5.  It's the cost per unit if you spent $75 and bought 5 games.

anonymous · Answer

so basically that's the formula and i just have 2 divide it? unit rate =15??

shane_b · Answer

Yes

anonymous · Answer

shane_b · Answer

no problem :)

anonymous · Answer

ok here's another thing i dont get: you are making candles for your friends. A mold for the candles costs 22.50$ and wax to make one candle costs 5$. write an algebraic expression for the total cost of making X candles. you make 8 candles. find the total cost

anonymous · Answer

so how do u write an algebraic expression?

anonymous · Answer

okay well first of all, think it through, how many candles are you making.

anonymous · Answer

x right? So if each is $22.50 and then add the wax is $5.
So the equation would be x(22.50 + 5) right?

anonymous · Answer

yeah but arent u suppose 2 make 8 candles? or is that x=8 ???

anonymous · Answer

8(22.50+5) ??

anonymous · Answer

Yep
