You plug 11 in where x is.
r(11) = (11 + 1)(11 - 3)
= (12)(8)
= 96
2 times a number, x, is equal to 6 less than 3 times the number, x.
2x = 3x - 6
-1x = -6
x = 6
The number is 6.
Answer: Option #4: the 0.2 could be changed to 2.
Explanation:
The table is designed to make the concept of percentages more understandable. The table first allocates the total amount of 70 in terms of its "fifths," or 20% parts. Then it expresses these parts in the last row of the table, showing that 20% of 70 is 14 and all the five parts sum up to 70 again.
Now, Mikel is supposed to express 40% of the amount. So she writes (incorrectly): 0.2 * 14. This statement needs to be changed to 2 * 14 (two times 14 = 28), to correspond to 2 times 20%, or 40% of 70.
This is reflected in the last (fourth) option "The 0.2 in the expression could be changed to 2."
Option #3 is incorrect because changing 14 to 70, will result in an incorrect number (2.8).
Options 1 and 2 are similarly incorrect (as can be easily verified)
Your answer would be 0,6.
- Because if you look at it correctly you see the right is at 0 and the top is at 6
Division Problem: 90 people were invited to the party.
1. How many tables are needed, if each table can seat 8 people?
2. How many tables will be completely full?
3. How many people will be at an incomplete table?
Solution:
You have that 90=8·11+2 (8 - divisor, 11 - quotient, 2 - remainder).
Since the quotient is 11, 12 tables are needed, 11 tables will be completely full and the last 12th table will be incomplete, only 2 people will be at this table.
Answer: 1. 12 tables, 2. 11 tables, 3. 2 people
