Since Bryan spent $15.50 less than Sarah, you would start by dividing the total amount they spent together in half.
$47.50 ÷ 2 = $23.75
Then you would take Bryan's 1/2 of the total and subtract $15.50.
$23.75 - $15.50 = $8.25
So, it looks like Bryan spent $8.25.
Check step:
If you add it all back together:
Sarah + Sarah Bryan = Total
$23.75 + $15.50 + $8.25 = $47.50
12 inches go into one foot, so we can calculate the volume of the tank in inches to make the calculations that follow easier. Therefore, to calculate the volume of the tank, we use length x breadth x height = 4 x 2 x 2 = 16 square feet x 12 for square inches = 192 square inches.
Every 12 square inches Joseph can fit a one inch fish. The fish that he has are 3 inches long, therefore he can only fit one fish every 36 square inches.
That means that if we take the total volume of the tank and divide it by the space that a 3 inch fish will take up, we are left with 192/36 = 5.3 fish.
You cannot have a third of a fish, so we round off to the nearest whole number, and we determine that Joseph can put 5 fish in his new aquarium.
The equation for this would be 41/4 + 52/3 - 41/3= ?
So then you just change all the denominators to their lcm, which is 12 and multiply the numerator accordingly.
123/12 + 208/12 - 164/12 = 167/12
Answer: 8
72π=226.19
226.19=π3^2h
226.19=π9h
226.19=28.27h
226.19/28.27=h
8=h
I hope this is good enough:
