Answer:

14 books

Step-by-step explanation:

Let b = number of books at the beginning

She sold 1/2 of the books

b - 1/2 b

This is how many she had left

Then she bought 7

b - 1/2 b + 7

this equals 14

b - 1/2 b + 7 = 14

Combine like terms

1/2 b + 7 = 14

Subtract 7 from each side

1/2 b = 14-7

1/2 b = 7

Multiply each side by 2

1/2 b * 2 = 7*2

b = 14

She started with 14 books

Shane and Karen want to measure the length of a soccer field. Should they use centimeters or meters to measure it? Explain.

Ber [7]

Shane and Karen want to measure the length of a soccer field. Length can be measured in different units such as cm, m ,km , yards etc. The question is asking us to select between two units cm or meters which will be more appropriate to measure the field.

To measure the field a larger unit is required. Meter is a bigger unit than centimeter.Centimeter is not the correct unit to measure the length of soccer field.

Shane and Karen should use meters to measure the soccer field.

In 1906, San Francisco felt the impact of an earthquake with a magnitude of 7.8.

Claimed statement is he worst is yet to come, with an earthquake 142,990 times as intense as the 1906 earthquake ready to hit San Francisco.

We need to find the magnitude of their claimed earthquake.

It can be calculated by simply multiplying 142,990 by 7.8 as follows :

$E=142990 \times 7.8\\\\=1115322$

The magnitude of claimed earthquake is 1115322 .
