2 wholes and 3/12 + 3/? = 2 wholes and 5/8 .what is the missing number ?

1 answer:

6 0

Basically you know that the 2 wholes from both sides cancel out.

Set up the equation, 5/8 = 3/12 + 3/x

3/x = 5/8 - 3/12

Set them to have a common denominator, 3/x = 15/24 - 6/24

3/x = 9/24

Simplify 9/24 and you will get 3/8

3/x = 3/8

Obviously this means x = 8

Grandma baked 969696 cookies and gave them to her grandchildren. One of the grandchildren, Cindy, received ccc fewer cookies tha

Angelina_Jolie [31]

The total number of cookies baked by grandma = 96

Number of grandchildren = 8

As given, all cookies were evenly divided among 8 children, let us assume that everyone except Cindy got equal share. So on being divided equally, it becomes, $\frac{96}{8}=12$ cookies per children.

But, as mentioned that Cindy received 'c' cookies less, so let us suppose Cindy received 'x' cookies.

Expression becomes: $x=12-c$

Hence, Cindy received 12-c cookies.

Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

To best show this information, the scale for the T-axis of his graph should go from 0 to at least 60.

To best show this information, the scale for the m-axis of his graph should go from 0 to at least 12.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mohammad will have collected T cards after m months, given that he buys 5 cards each month and he started with no cards.

The relationship describing this situation is

$T=5m$

When $m=6,$ then $T=5\cdot 6=30$ cards.

When $m=12,$ then $T=5\cdot 12=60$ cards.

To best show this information, the scale for the T-axis of his graph should go from 0 to at least 60.

To best show this information, the scale for the m-axis of his graph should go from 0 to at least 12.
