A
the word 'of' means to multiply
0.45 × 80 = 36
Pythagorean Theorem
a² + b² = c²
c = 13
a = 4
(Missing side) = b
4² + b² = 13²
16 + b² = 169
16 - 16
169 - 16 = 153
Square Root of 153 = 12.369
b = 12.369
The missing side is 12.369 (rounded to 12 as a whole number)
You just have to divide the 1/2 a pound by 8, or equivalently multiply by (1/8):
(1/2)*(1/8) = 1/16 of a pound
1. Write as an algebraic equation:
12 + n ≤ 2n - 8
2. Solve for n.
12 + n - 12 ≤ 2n - 8 - 12
n ≤ 2n - 20
n - 2n ≤ 2n - 20 - 2n
-n ≤ -20
Multiply both sides by -1 (this means you must flip the inequality sign).
n ≥ 20
FINAL ANSWER: n ≥ 20
