Answer: Hope this helps.

13, 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Number one is 13

Number two is 7

Well 7 x 2 = 14, 14-1 = 7, and 7+13 = 20 making the answers true.

I figured out this number by eliminating numbers, I started with 5, ended with 8 to make a range of the possible numbers. Since 5 was too low and 8 was too high I knew the number had to be either 6 or 7, so I did 7 and I got the answer.

Answer:

7 and 13

You can set up a simple equation to solve this: <u>x + (2x-1) = 20</u>

The x stands for the second, smaller number because the larger number is one less than twice it. When added together, they equal 20.

Now, you just solve for x. It goes as follows:

x + 2x - 1 = 20

3x - 1 = 20

3x = 21

<u>x = 7</u>


Since one number is 7, the other number has to be 13 to add up to 20.


Hope this helps!!! :)

Un edificio proyecta una sombra de 7.5m.mientras que un arbol que mide 1.6 m de altura proyecta una sombra 1.85 M¿Cual es la alt
sattari [20]

Answer: The height of the building is 6.49 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

This can be translated to:

"A building projects a 7.5 m shadow, while a tree with a height of 1.6 m projects a shadow of 1.85 m.

Which is the height of the building?"

We can conclude that the ratio between the projected shadow is and the actual height is constant for both objects, this means that if H is the height of the building, we need to have:

(height of the building)/(shadow of the building) = (height of the tree)/(shadow of the tree)

H/7.5m = 1.6m/1.85m

H = (1.6m/1.85m)*7.5m = 6.49m

The height of the building is 6.49 meters.

A hungry elf ate 35 of your muffins. That was 710 of all of them! With how many did you start?
KengaRu [80]

Answer:

2094.5 muffins

Step-by-step explanation:

The problem is a little bit messy, but i’m guessing you meant that the elf ate 35% of the muffins, which 35% is 710 muffins. so since 35% of muffins is 710 muffins, let’s multiply that by 2 so we can get 70%.

so 710 x 2 is 1420. so 70% of the muffins is 1420 muffins! sadly that’s not all of the muffins. we’re still missing another 30%. since we don’t know how many muffins are in 30%, let’s just take 710 muffins - 5%. when you do that you get 674.5. so now that we know how much is in 30%, let’s take 1420 + 674.5. when you do that you get 2094.5! so you started off with 2094 and a half muffins!
