A manatee eats the equivalent of about 12% if it’s body weight each day

1 answer:

8 0

First, write a statement to define your unknown variable. This is technically not essential to solving the problem, but many teachers prefer to see it.

Example: Let w = the manatee's weight in pounds.

Next, decide what the variable needs to be multiplied by. 12% is equal to 0.12. Usually when a problem says "of," it wants you to multiply. Therefore, 12% of the body weight equals 0.12w. Since the problem already says that this is how much the manatee eats every day, that is your answer.

y = 0.12w

Anne picked out 3 board games from her cabinet to take to a game night with her friends. She still has more than 10 board games

Tresset [83]

Answer:

x - 3 > 10

There were more than

board games in Anne's cabinet to start.

Step-by-step explanation:

The variable x represents how many board games were in Anne's cabinet to start. Since she has already picked out 3 board games to bring, the expression x–3 represents how many board games are still in the cabinet.

And, since Anne has more than 10 board games still in her cabinet, x–3 must be greater than 10.

This inequality shows the relationship.

x–3>10

Now, solve for x.

x–3

> 10

x–3+3

> 10+3 Add 3 to both sides

> 13 Simplify

So, there were more than 13 board games in Anne's cabinet to start.

postnew [5]

Answer: $\frac{485}{ 1,454}$

Step-by-step explanation:

For this exercuse you need to analize the information provided. You know that:

1) The height of the replica of the Empire State Building with its antenna spire in Las Vegas is 485 feet.

2) The height of the real Empire State building is 1,454 feet.

Finally, in order to find the ratio of height of the replica to the height of the real Empire State building, its necessary to divide the height of the replica of the Empire State Building by the height of the real Empire State building.

Therefore, trough this procedure you get that the ratio of height of the replica to the height of the real Empire State building is:

$ratio=\frac{heigth_{ replica}}{heigth_{real}}=\frac{485}{ 1,454}$

(This fraction cannot be reduced)
