Answer:
less than 1 1/2 gallons
Step-by-step explanation:
1/3 + 1/6 = 1/2, so the sum of the three cans is more than 1 by the difference between 1/5 and 1/6. That difference is 1/30 gallon. The sum is 1 1/30 gallons, which is less than 1 1/2 gallons.
__
A suitable common denominator is 2·3·5 = 30. Then the sum of the fractions is ...
1/3 + 1/5 + 1/2
= 10/30 + 6/30 + 15/30
= 31/30 = 1 1/30 . . . . . less than 1 1/2
In decimal, 1/3 ≈ 0.333, 1/5 = 0.200, 1/2 = 0.500, so the sum is ...
0.333 +0.200 +0.500 = 1.033
which is less than 1.5.

to avoid having 0 in the denominator. This is why choice D is the answer.
Answer:
x = 7
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve:
Distribute 5 among everything inside the first parentheses. You'll get 5x - 15.
Next distribute -2 among everything in the second parentheses. You'll get
-2x - 2.
<u>All together: 5x - </u><u>15</u><u> </u><u>-</u><u>2x </u><u>-</u><u> </u><u>2</u><u> </u><u>= 4</u>
Now combine like terms:
5x - 2x = 3x and -15 - 2 = - 17
<u>All</u><u> </u><u>together</u><u>: 3x -</u><u> </u><u>17 = 4</u>
Add 17 on both sides to get 21, and then divide both sides by 3. Answer is x = 7.
________________________________
Last, don't forget to check your work.
You can plug in 7 for x to get:
5(7 - 3) = 20
5 × 7 = 35
5 × -3 = -15
35 - 15 = 20
-2(7 + 1) = -16
-2 × 7 = -14
-2 × 1 = - 2
-14 -2 = -16
<u>20 - 16 = 4</u>
⬆⬆⬆Therefore this is correct.
Sorry this is a bit lengthy, but hope this helps :)
1. x=4, y=0
3. x=2.6666, y=0.3333
Answer:
Cody has solved (12 × 12) = 144 problems.
Step-by-step explanation:
For every one problem that Julia completes, Cody completes twelve.
If Julia Completes x problems and Cody completes y problems, then we can write y = 12x ........ (1)
Now, given that the number of problems solved by Cody is one hundred twenty more than two times the number of problems solved by Julia.
Hence, 2x + 120 = y ......... (2)
Now, from equations (1) and (2) we get,
2x + 120 = 12x
⇒ 10x = 120
⇒ x = 12
Therefore, Cody has solved (12 × 12) = 144 problems. (Answer)
