Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
1) Remove parentheses.

2) Regroup terms.

It should be D: 35. 14 + 6 = 20. I just multiplied that by two, which equals 40. That means there are 2 sets of 14 and 2 sets of 6. Since there is 10 leftover, I divided both by 2. 7 + 3 = 10. 14 x 2 = 28 + 7 = 35

Answer: 81</h3>
==============================================
Work Shown:
a = first term
a*(2/3) = (2/3)a= second term
(2/3)a*(2/3) = (4/9)a = third term
note how I multiplied each previous term by the common ratio (2/3) to get the next term
Add up the three terms
a + (2/3)a + (4/9)a = (9/9)a + (6/9)a + (4/9)a = (19/9)a
Set this equal to 171, which is what we want the first three terms to sum to, then solve for 'a'
(19/9)a = 171
a = (9/19)*171
a = 81 is the first term
------------------------------------
Checking the answer:
a = 81 = first term
(2/3)*a = (2/3)*81 = 54 = second term
(4/9)*a = (4/9)*81 = 36 = third term
adding up the three terms gets us
81+54+36 = 171
so we have confirmed the answer
We know that
<span>each space on the balance represents
1 kg/ 10 spaces----------> 0.10 kg
in the picture there are 14 spaces
so
14*0.1-------> 1.4 Kg

Part A) About how many kilograms of oranges does Andrea have? Round your answer to the nearest kilogram
Andrea has 1.4 kg of oranges------> to the nearest kilogram-----> 1 Kg
the answer is
1 kg
Part B) About how many more kilograms of oranges does Andrea need?
Andrea needs=(4 Kg-1.4 Kg)------> 2.6 Kg
the answer part B) is
2.6 Kg
