35.5 wouldn’t be enough. She needs 2 1/4 of yards of material, first you would need to convert the fraction into a decimal and 1/4 is .25 which gives you 2.25 now you multiply 16 x 2.25 which gives you 36. That’s why 35.5 wouldn’t be enough.
Answer:
1_11/20 pounds, or 1.55 pounds.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since at the beginning, he had 5 1/4 pounds and used 3/5, we subtract the amount of pounds. We are then left with 93/20 pounds, which he then splits among 3 containers. Dividing by three, we then get 31/20 pounds in one aquarium, or 1 11/20 pounds in each aquarium or 1.55 pounds.
1/4a + 1/3a +8 =22
1st step add like terms:
1/4a +1/3a = 3/12a +4/12a = 7/12a
7/12a +8 =22
2nd step subtract 8 from each side:
7/12a = 14
3rd step divide both sides by 7/12 to get a:
a = 14 / 7/12
a = 24
