8. Last week, Janet used 4 cups of flour to make pizza dough. This week, she uses 3/8
the amount of flour as last week. Which statement is true about the amount of
flour Janet uses this week?

Janet uses more than 4 cups of flour because 4 is greater than 1.

Janet uses more than 4 cups of flour because 4 is greater than 3/8.

Janet uses less than 4 cups of flour because is less than 1.

Janet uses less than 4 cups of flour because is less than 4.
As

Janet uses less than 4 cups of flour because is less than 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

She is using 3/8 of 4 so less than. Then you use 4 not 1 because there is 4 cups.

She uses less than four cups because 3/8 (1.5) is less than 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

{x = -1/2 ,   y = -1

step-by-step explanation:

solve the following system:

{2 x + y = -2

{10 x - 3 y = -2

in the first equation, look to solve for y:

{2 x + y = -2

{10 x - 3 y = -2

subtract 2 x from both sides:

{y = -2 x - 2

{10 x - 3 y = -2

substitute y = -2 x - 2 into the second equation:

{y = -2 x - 2

{10 x - 3 (-2 x - 2) = -2

10 x - 3 (-2 x - 2) = (6 x + 6) + 10 x = 16 x + 6:

{y = -2 x - 2

{16 x + 6 = -2

in the second equation, look to solve for x:

{y = -2 x - 2

{16 x + 6 = -2

subtract 6 from both sides:

{y = -2 x - 2

{16 x = -8

divide both sides by 16:

{y = -2 x - 2

{x = -1/2

substitute x = -1/2 into the first equation:

{y = -1

{x = -1/2
