Answer:
You will need 3 6/13 quarts of peanuts to make 3 jars of peanuts butter
Step-by-step explanation:
To make this answering seamless, we make the mixed fractions into improper fractions
Hence 2 1/2 becomes 5/2
while 2 1/6 becomes 13/6
Here we are told that a bag with 5/2 quarts of peanuts can make 13/6 jars of peanuts butter
Hence, x quarts of peanuts will make 3 jars of peanuts butter
To get the value of x, what we simply need to do is to cross multiply.
Thus, we have
5/2 - 13/6
x - 3
3 * 5/2 = 13/6 * x
15/2 = 13x/6
26x = 90
x = 90/26
x = 45/13
x = 3 6/13
Answer: The manager should sell the chair for $1740.
Step-by-step explanation:
45% of 1200 Solve this to find the amount increase
0.45 * 1200 = 540 Now add this amount to find the price.
$1200 + $540 = $1740
or you could do it this way
100% + 45% = 145%
145% of 1200 =?
1.45 * 1200 = 1740
Answer:
1.67
Step-by-step explanation:
after the decimal we have the
tens
hundreths
thousanths
(usually math doesn't ask you to go farther than the thousanths place)
because 15/9 is 1.66666, you will go to the hundreths place and round that six. Six is one more than five so it gets rounded up. That changes the decimal to 1.67. You do not change it to 1.7, because it asked you to round to the nearest hundred not the nearest tens
You can factor out a 5n to get
5n(4m-3)
Here's a tip Subtracting a fraction is the same as multiplying it's reciprocal so for 3/4 - 3/8 you can do 3/4 x 8/3. Multiplying its reciprocal mean turn the 2nd fraction around
