a jar has 5 tablespoons of honey in it. One serving of Honey is 3/4 of a tablespoon. how many servings of honey are in the jar.

Servings = total amount / serving size

Servings = 5 / 3/4

When dividing by a fraction, reverse the fraction and multiply:

= 5 x 4/3

= 20/3

= 6 2/3 servings

hello from mrbilldoesmath!

answer:

(7 x + 6 y) (49 x^2 - 42 x y + 36 y^2)

discussion:

the trick is to recognize that 343 = 7^3 and 216 = 6^3 and, in general,

a^3 + b^3 =   (a + b) (a^2 - a b + b^2).

in our case

343x^3+216y^3   =   (7x)^3 + (6y)^3

so take a = 7x and b = 6y in the above equation to get the answer.

you,
