The ratio is supposed to be pennies to total amount of coins. The total amount of coins--including pennies--is 16. This can be proven by this equation:

5 + 6 + 5 = 16

Now you put the ratio together by taking the amount of pennies (5) and total amount of coins (16). Your ratio should look like this:

5:16

Donnel practiced the piano 3 hours longer than Marcus. Together they practiced the piano for 11 hours. How many hours did each b

andriy [413]

Here is the equation: $x+(x+3)=11$ ⇒ $x+x+3=11$

You need to get "x" by itself so minus 3 from each side

$x+x+3-3=11-3$ ⇒ $x+x=8$ ⇒ $2x=8$

Divide 8 by 2

$8$ ÷ $2=4$

x=4

So each 4 is equivalent to 4

Lets check:

$4+(4+3)=11$ ⇒ $4+4+3=11$ ⇒ $11=11$

So that means that Marcus practiced the piano for 4 hours and Donnel practiced for 7

There are 36 pencils in 6 packs. Igor wants to know how many pencils are in 1 pack. Elsa wants to know how many pencils are in 3

Paraphin [41]

Answer:

18 pencils in 3 packs.

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming that each pack will have the same amount of pencils. It is given that there are 36 pencils in all when one has 6 packs. Find the amount in each pack by dividing (total amount of pencils)/(amount of packs) = Amount of pencils per pack:

36/6 = 6

There are 6 pencils in each pack.

Now, Elsa wants to know how much pencils are in 3 packs. Multiply the amount of packs with the amount of pencils in each pack:

Total amount of pencils = amount of packs (3) x amount of pencils per pack (6)

= 3 x 6

= 18

There are 18 pencils in 3 packs.
