sari has 3 times as many pencil eraser as sam. together they have 28 easers. how many eraser does sari have?

1 answer:

4 0

21. if Sam's erasers are represented by x, then sari, who has three times more, would be represented by 3x. since you are adding two together to get 28, the equation would be 28=3x+x. Simplify to 28=4x, divide by 4 to isolate x, where x=7. multiply this by 3 to get sari's amount.

Thirteen less than eight times a number is three more than four times the number.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number = x

8x - 13 = 4x + 3 Add 13

8x = 4x + 3 + 13 Combine

8x = 4x + 16 Subtract 4x

8x - 4x = 16 Combine

4x = 16 Divide by 4

x = 16/4

x = 4

The radius of one sphere is twice as great as the radius of a second sphere. Find the ratio of their volumes. 1/2 1/4 1/8 1/16

Anton [14]

Let's pick some simple points with which to set up an example for ourselves for this. Let's let the smaller radius be 1, and the larger, twice that, be 2. The radius itself is a single unit measure; in other words, it's measured as inches, feet, cm, etc., while the volume is a cubed measure. Volume is measured in inches cubed, feet cubed, cm cubed, etc. Therefore, if we have the radii measuring 1:2, we simply cube those single unit measures to find the ratio of their volumes. 1 cubed is 1, and 2 cubed is 8. So your answer for this is 1/8.
