Answer:

I believe the answer would be six rooms

Step-by-step explanation: This may seem a little difficult, but really it is quite simple. All you have to do is divide the amount of paint she has (9) by how much it takes to paint one room (1 1/2). The equation would be,            (9 / 1 1/2) which equals 6. I hope this helps.

Answer:

6

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, divide 9 by 1 1/2.

To make this easier to divide, convert 1 1/2 into an improper fraction.

1 1/2 = 3/2

Dividing 9 by 3/2 is the same as multiplying 9 by 2/3

Multiply the numerators and denominators

[9 is the same as 9/1]

9 x 2 = 18

1 x 3 = 3

18/3 = 6

So, Emma can paint 6 rooms.

I hope this helps!

Information reference tables what is the solution set of the equation log4 (x2 + 3x) − log4 (x + 5) = 1?
faust18 [17]
Use this property of logarithms:

\log_b\left(\dfrac{x}{y}\right)=\log_b x-\log_b y

Your equation transforms into:

log_4\left(\dfrac{x^2+3x}{x+5}\right)=1

Now, you have to apply the definition of a logarithm to express the equation in exponential form:

\dfrac{x^2+3x}{x+5} = 4^1

In case you don't remember, this is the definition of a logarithm:

\log_b x = y \iff b^y = x

The log is the exponent (y) you have to raise the base (b) to in order to get the power (x).

Finally, solve the rational equation:

\dfrac{x^2+3x}{x+5} =4 \iff x^2+3x=4(x+5)
\iff x^2-x-20=0
\iff x=\dfrac{1\pm\sqrt{(-1)^2-4\cdot(-20)}}{2}= \left \{ {{5} \atop {-4}} \right.

The correct answer is d.

A bottle of water contains 450ml. How many litres of water are there in 8 of these bottles
In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

3.6 litres

Step-by-step explanation:

1 bottle = 450ml

8 bottles = 450 × 8

               = 3600ml

1000ml = 1 litre

3600ml = 3.6 litres (3600÷1000)
