Answer:

Add 2

Step-by-step explanation:

When distributing, pay attention to the negatives both inside and outside the parentheses. Imagine a 1 directly after the second negative symbol in the equation:

-5-1(-2)

Don't subtract 1 from 5! Instead multiply -1 by -2 (you're distributing, remember?)

A negative multiplied by another negative equals a positive!

-5+2

-5+2=-3

it takes a hose 4 minutes to fill a rectangle 9inc long, 11inches wide and 12 inches tall, how long will it take to fill an aqua
FromTheMoon [43]
OK the problem is focusing on VOLUME and TIME.. you can set up this problem like this... (v1/t1) x (v2/t2). first we plug in what we know. the first container was filled in 4 minutes so this is our "T1". However we weren't giving the volume of the first container but we were given its dimensions. the volume formula is LxWxH. so we plug in 9x11x12 to get 1188. this is our "V1". the same concept applies for the volume of the aquarium. we have its dimensions so just plug in. 24x25x33 = 19800 this is our "V2". the thing we are left trying to find is T2. so now you can do some cross multiplying and division. (T1xV2)/V1 or (4x19800)/1188 and you get 66.67min or 1h and 6.67mins. and thats how long it took to fill the aquarium.

Solve for y, given that b=22(Round your answer to 1 decimal place, if necessary.)
timurjin [86]

Answer:

37.7

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we have to divde 22/7 to find the scale factor. I chose 22 and 7 because those two sides are ocngruent. We get 3.14. We then have to multiply 12 by 3.14 beacuse that is the side that is congruent with the side y. When you multiply you should get 37.68. Since we have to round we get 37.7.

Each morning papa noted the birds feeding on his birdfedder . So far this month he had seen 59 blue jays ,68 black crows , 12 re
Oduvanchick [21]
To solve this question, you need to first look at the total amount of birds and then at the percentage of the blue jays that fed on the bird feeder out of all the other birds.

To calculate the total you add them all together:
59+68+12+1 = 140 birds 

Then the percentages of the blue jays that fed on his bird feeder are:
59/140 *100 = 42.143%

You want to see how many blue jays we can expect to see out of 300 birds. 
So you divide 300 by 100 to see what 1% is = 3 birds 

Then you multiply this amount (1% = 3 birds) by 42.134% which is the percentage of blue jays we can expect to see out of the 300 birds. 
3*42.134 = 126.43 

You round this off to 126 because you cant expect to see half a bird. Even if the answer had been 126.9, you would have rounded it of to 126 because no matter how close it is to the next whole number; you either have a whole bird or you don't.

Final Answer = 126
