Answer:
31.2 lbs
Step-by-step explanation:
Let 2x = weight of oranges
5x = weight of apples
6x = weight of pears
2x + 5x + 6x = total weight
2x = 4.8
x = 2.4
4.8 + 5(2.4) + 6(2.4) = 4.8 + 12 + 14.4
= 31.2 lbs
Answer:
divide 64/8 and 27/9 to arrive at 8/3 for 64/27
Answer: -6
Step by step:
2x + 3(8) = 12
2x + 24 = 12
2x = -12
x = -6
Let's try plugging in some negative numbers. Let's do x=-1. 5+-1=4. So we know that if we put in a negative number for x, then n will be positive. But what if we do a number greater than -5, because 5+-5=0. So let's try x=-6. So 5+(-6)=-1. Hmm. So here it is. We know that any number under -5 will be positive and any number above -5 will be negative.
Answer:
Mike can stitch one shirt in 6 hours and in 1 hour he can stitch 
(0.167) shirts.
Step-by-step explanation:
Mike can stitch 7 shirts in 42 hours
to calculate the time that he takes to make 1 shirt, we have to divide 42 by 7.
He can stitch 1 shirt in = 
= 6 hours
Now we calculate the work done in one hour.
He can stitch in 1 hour = shirts or 0.167 shirts
Mike can stitch one shirt in 6 hours and in 1 hour he can stitch shirts.
