On the first night of Rosh Hashanah, David cuts 5 apple into slices and gives 3/8 of an apple to each of his quests. He has 2 apples left over. How many guests does David have?

Number of guests = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Total apples David cut = 5

Total apples left over = 2

Total apples David gave his guest = Total apples David cut - Total apples left over

= 5 - 2

= 3

Total apples David gave his guest = 3

Each guest gets = 3/8 of an apple

Number of guests = Total apples David gave his guest ÷ share of each guest

Number of guests = 3 ÷ 3/8

= 3 × 8/3

= 8

Number of guests = 8

x = 2

step-by-step explanation:

if sr parallel to ba then the sides bc and ac are in proportion, that is

= ← substitute values

= ( cross- multiply )

27x = 6(4x + 1)

27x = 24x + 6 ( subtract 24x from both sides )

3x = 6 ( divide both sides by 3 )

x = 2
