C= number of crickets
g= number of grasshoppers= twice number of crickets= 2c
T= total number of both= 561

If you add the number of crickets and the number if grasshoppers, you'll get a total of 561.

c + g= T
c + g= 561

Now we also know that grasshoppers are 2c (twice the crickets). Substitute 2c for g in the equation to solve for c.

c + g= 561
c + 2c= 561
combine like terms
3c= 561
divide both sides by 3
c= 187 crickets

Substitute number of crickets back in equation to find g.

c + g= 561
187 + g= 561
subtract 187 from both sides
g= 374 grasshoppers

CHECK:
Since grasshoppers are twice the number of crickets, then multiplying the number of crickets by two should equal the number of grasshoppers.
187 * 2= 374
374= 374

ANSWER: 187 crickets and 374 grasshoppers

Hope this helps! :)

A farm grew 19.8 tons of wheat in 2013. The farm's wheat output increased by 9.8% from 2013 to 2014 and by 5.1% from 2014 to 201
7nadin3 [17]

Answer: Choice D

Explanation:

The increase of 9.8% rounds to 10% when rounding to the nearest ten

An increase of 10% would use the multiplier 1.1

Think of it like saying 1 + 0.10 = 100% + 10%

Similarly, the 5.1% rounds to 5% and an increase of this amount will use the multiplier 1.05

So if we started with 20 items, then 20(1.1)(1.05) is the expression that estimates an increase of 10% followed by an increase of 5%. The order doesn't matter (so you could increase by 5% first, then 10% later).

The scale model of a skyscraper being built is 4.2 feet tall. When it is finished, the skyscraper will be 525 meters tall. What
luda_lava [24]
There are two scales that may be possible for this scale model; one where it's for every foot and one where it's for every meter.
The for every foot would be better to find out since the scale would be easier to use.
First, you have to divide each sided by 4.2, since you want to find how many meters for each foot.
4.2 \div 4.2 = 1 \\ 525 \div 4.2 = 125
For every 1 foot used in the model, the actual will be 125 meters.
1 ft = 125 m

What is the reduced answer to 4/9 multiples by 4/5 equal
deff fn [24]
First, we know that when multiplying fractions, we multiply both the numerator and denominator.

so, in 4/9 • 4/5,
4•4 = 16, and
9•5 = 45

so, 4/9 • 4/5 = 16/45.
now, we’ll look for the Least Common Factor

factors are numbers that you can multiply together to = another number.
the LEAST common Factor is the # that is smallest that you can divide both numbers by, in an equation and get a whole number.

for instance, 3•3 and 1•9 are the only ways to get 9, so, the factors are 1, 3, 9

let’s look for the LCF in 16 and 45. -
if we find the ways to get 16, we have:
1•16, 2•8, and 4•4
so, the factors are 1, 2, 4, 8, and 16.
this is called FACTORING :)

the ways to get 45 are...
1•45, 3•15, and 5•9, so the FACTORS are
1, 3, 5, 9, 15, & 45.
- compare the factors of 16 & 45,
none of them are the same besides 1, and we know that dividing these numbers by 1 will not do anything.

because of this, we can not reduce 16/45, so the reduced answer to 4/9 • 4/5 = 16/45
