Mariel brought 48 brownies to school for a class party. The class ate 5/6 of the brownies, and Mariel brought the rest home. How many brownies did Mariel bring home?

The number of brownies Mariel brought home is 8

Explanation:

Given:

Total number of brownies, n = 48

Class ate =

               = 40

Mariel brought rest of the brownies home.

So, the number of brownies Mariel brought home = 48 - 40

                                                                              = 8

option 1 is correct.

step-by-step explanation:

y varies inversely with x and constant of variation is 4

the equation will be:

y = k/x

where k =4 so,

y = 4/x

if we put values of x of option 1 in the above equation and find values of y

y = 4/-2 => y =-2

y = 4/-1 => y = -4

y = 4/1 => y = 4

y = 4/2 => y =2

so, all the values of x and y are correct.

if we put values of x given in other options and find value of y we cannot find whole table satisfying the equation.

hence option 1 is correct.
