Let's translate each sentence into "Math".
Pineapple = p
Orange = x
is means equal
Pineapple is 7 times as heavy as an orange: p = 7x
Pineapple weighs 870 grams more than orange. p = 870 + x
Substitute p = 7x into the second equation:
7x = 870 + x
Subtract x from both sides
6x = 870
divide by 6
x = 145
The orange weighs 145 grams.
The pineapple weights 7 times the orange = 7(145) = 1015 grams.
Ax - b = c....subtract ax from both sides
-b = -ax + c <==
or it could also have been b = ax - c (but that ones not there)
Answer:
AC is four times longer than DF
Step-by-step explanation:
AC is the diameter of the circle E and DE is the radius of the circle E
AC = 2 x DE
DE is the diameter of the circle F and DF is the radius of the circle F
DE = 2 x DF
AC = 2 x DE
AC = 2 x (2 x DF)
AC = 4 x DF
So AC is four times longer than DF
Answer:
B 1 1/7
Step-by-step explanation:
- 9 2/7 - ( -10 3/7)
We know subtracting a negative is like adding
- 9 2/7 +10 3/7
10 3/7 - 9 2/7
Putting this vertical
10 3/7
-9 2/7
-----------------
1 1/7
Answer: $15.00 per person.
______________________________
Explanation:
______________________________
Given that there are "4 people" (that is, "Kianna and three friends");
____________________________________________________
and a total of "$58.49" ; to be divided equally among 4 (four) people;
______________________________
we are asked to <em><u>estimate</u></em> the amount that EACH person will pay.
______________________________
For an <em><u>ESTIMATE</u></em>, $58.49 is ABOUT $60.00; or "60 dollars". ;
and (60 dollars) / 4 = 15 dollars {$15; or $15.00}.
60/4 = 15; or 60/4 = (60÷2)/(4÷2) = 30/2 = 15.
