Ten times the sum of half a number and 6 is 8

KATRIN_1 [288]3 years ago

Even though we don't know the number yet, we need to give it some kind of label
so that we can work with it.  We can call it anything.  I'd like to call it ' G '.

The number we're looking for is ' G '.

Half of it is  1/2 G

The sum of that and 6 is          1/2 G + 6

Ten times that is              10 (1/2 G + 6)

The question says that's 8.
                                        So       10 (1/2 G + 6) = 8

Divide each side by  10 :                1/2 G + 6  =  0.8

Subtract  6  from each side:            1/2 G  =  - 5.2

Multiply each side by  2 :                        G  =  - 10.4

That seems like a weird answer.  We should check it.

The number:                                         -10.4
Half the number:                                   - 5.2
The sum of half the number and 6:      -5.2 + 6 = +0.8
Ten times that sum:                                                  8

Yep !  By golly, sho nuff, dV-dT and E to the X !  
Everything checks out, and the mystery number is      - 10.4

Ruby plans to make 3 quilts per month until she makes 15 quilts. She figures this will take 1/5 month. Which is NOT a reason why
pashok25 [27]

Answer: c)She should have multiplied 15 by 3 instead of dividing.


Step-by-step explanation:

Number of quilts Ruby plan to make in one month= 3

which means if Ruby makes more than 3 quilts, the time will be more than 1 month.

To find the number of months to make 15 quilts, she need to divide 15 by 3

Thus, the number of months to make 15 quilts=5

Her answer was 1/5 which was absolutely wrong as if she is making 3 quilt in 1 month then in 1/5  month she would make fewer than 3 quilts.

She divides 3 by 15 instead of 15 by 3, thus but the unit is quilts not months.

Thus the only wrong option is c)She should have multiplied 15 by 3 instead of dividing.

What is the ratio of 14 days to 3 weeks in simplest form? user: express 3x3x3x5x5 using exponents
Liula [17]
The answer to your question is 3 to the 3rd power and 5 to the 2nd power. The reason why that's your answer is because there are three 3s so instead of doing 3*3*3 you can just simply do 3 to the 3rd power and do the same thing to the 5. You can see that there are two fives so you do 5 to the 2nd power. Hope this helps:)
