Zack fills bird feeders with birdseed. Each bird feeder holds 2 1/2 cups of birdseed. Zack’s scoop holds 1/4 cup. How many scoops will Zack use to fill both bird feeders?

1. How many cups of seed does Zack need to fill both bird feeders? Show how you found your answer

2. Write an expression for the number of scoops Zack needs to fill both feeders

3. Evaluate the expression to find the number of scoops Zack needs. Show your work

1. How many cups of seed does Zack need to fill both bird feeders? Show how you found your answer

    [] He will need 5 cups of seed to fill both bird feeders

              [] 2 1/2 * 2 = 5

2. Write an expression for the number of scoops Zack needs to fill both feeders

    [] 1/4x = 5

              [] If his scoop hold 1/4 cup, then however many scoops (x) he does should equal 5.

3. Evaluate the expression to find the number of scoops Zack needs. Show your work

    [] 20 scoops

              [] 1/4x = 5 -> x = 20

Have a nice day!

infinitely many solutions

step-by-step explanation:

we have been given the equation;

2(2x + 3) = -4 + 2(2x + 5)

we need to determine the value of x.

2(2x + 3), we expand this expression to obtain 4x + 6

similarly 2(2x + 5) will become 4x + 10

now we have;

4x + 6 = -4 + 4x + 10

4x + 6 = 4x + 10 - 4

4x + 6 = 4x + 6

the expression on the left hand side is identical to the one on the right hand side. therefore, we are looking at just a single straight line whose equation is;

y = 4x + 6

consequently, we shall have infinitely many solutions
