Given :

For the school's sports day, a group of students prepared 12 1/2 litres of lemonade. At the end of the day they had 2 5/8 litres left over.

To Find :

How many litres of lemonade were sold.

Solution :

Initial amount of lemonade, I = 12 1/2 = 25/2 litres.

Final amount of lemonade, F = 2 5/8 = 21/8 litres.

Amount of lemonade sold, A = I - F

A = 25/2 - 21/8 litres

A = 9.875 litres

Therefore, 9.875 litres of lemonade were sold.

Hence, this is the required solution.

step-by-step explanation:

hello from mrbilldoesmath!

answer:   x (x+6)^2, choice b

discussion:

factor x out of the equation:

x^3 + 12x^2 + 36x = x (x^2 + 12x + 36).

note that 6+6 = 12 and 6*6 = 36 so the above factors into:

x (x+6)^2

which is choice b
