Answer:
D). 6 3/4
Step-by-step explanation:
Given,
The three eggs with the heaviest weights are;
ounces
ounces, &
2 ounces
To find,
The total weight of the three heaviest eggs = ounces +
ounces + 2 ounces
= 5/2 + 9/4 + 2/1
Taking the L.C.M. of 2, 4, and 1,
= 10/4 + 9/4 + 8/4
= (10 + 9 + 8)/4
= 27/4 or 6 3/4
n = 2
distribute and simplify left side of equation
50 - 10n - 1 = 29
49 - 10n = 29 ( subtract 49 from both sides )
- 10n = 29 - 49 = - 20
n = = 2
