1/8 of 48 is 6, so Sarah cut 6 inches.
1/9 of 36 is 4, so Jane cut 4 inches.
6 is greater than 4, therefore, Sarah's piece is longer by 2 inches.
He starts at 260 pounds and loses 4 pounds per month, so an equation representing his weight would be 260-4m.
0.037 is the answer unless you divide them in a different order
see the attached figure to better understand the problem
Step 1
<u>Find the number of pages printed on an Apricot printer </u>
we know that
The speed of an Apricot printer is 8ppm
so
in 4.5 min
Carlos print
4.5*8=36 pages
step 2
<u>Find the time it takes Carlos to print the same amount of documents on a sure fire printer printer</u>
we know that
The speed on a sure fire printer is 12ppm
so
Divide the total of pages by the speed of the printer
36/12=3 minutes
therefore
<u>the answer is</u>
3 minutes
-22 = - (x - 4)
= -22 = -x + 4 (distribute the minus)
= -26 = -x (subtract 4 from both sides)
= 26 = x (divide by -1 to remove the minus from x)
so, x = 26
