Answer:

120 leaves

Step-by-step explanation:

If the caterpillar eats 75 leaves in 5 hours and continues to eat at the same rate, the number of leaves eaten is simple, 120 leaves.

How I found the answer:

First, I divided 75 by 5 and got 15, then I multiplied 8 to 15 and got 120.

Answer: 120 leaves

If you divide 75 and 5 you would get 15. And then you would multiply 15 to 8 to get 120.

You would divide 75 and 5 because you’ll need to find how many minutes the caterpillar ate on one leaf which would be 15 minutes. You would then multiply 15 and 8 and you’d get 120. So, 120 leaves is the answer.

Equations and Inequalties: Tutorial

Answer:

The number is 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can answer the above question as follow:

The square of a number, x is written as: x²

Eight times the number is written as: 8x

From the question, we were told that the square of the number, x is 16 less than eight times the number. This can be written as:

x² = 8x – 16

Rearrange

x² – 8x + 16 = 0

Solving by factorisation method:

Multiply the 1st term (i.e x²) and the last term (i.e 16) together. The result is 16x² as shown below:

x² × 16 = 16x².

Next, find two factors of 16x² such that when we add them together, it will result to the 2nd term ( i.e – 8x).

The factors are –4x and –4x.

Next, replace – 8x in the equation with –4x and –4x. This is illustrated below:

x² – 8x + 16 = 0

x² – 4x – 4x + 16 = 0

Factorise

x(x – 4) – 4(x – 4) = 0

(x – 4)(x – 4) = 0

x – 4 = 0 or x – 4 = 0

x = 4 or x = 4

Thus, the number is 4.

***** Check *****

x² = 8x – 16

x = 4

4² = 8(4) – 16

16 = 32 – 16

16 = 16
