Answer:
C. 47
Step-by-step explanation:
5(8 + 7)
Expand the brackets. Brackets mean to multiply.
5(8 + 7)
5 * 8 + 7
= 40 + 7
= 47
When a sign has the underline, it means it is also equal to.
for example,
x

10
so the solution for "x" is greater than or equal to 10

Mr. Patel used 4.5 bags of seed
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Given that,
Over the summer, Mr. Patel refilled a bird feeder 24 times using 6 cups of seed each time
A bag of seeds holds 32 cups
1 bag of seed = 32 cups
Given that Patel refilled 24 times using 6 cups of seed each time
<em><u>Then, the number of cups used for the 24 times is given as:</u></em>

<em><u>Now we have to find the bags of seed needed for 144 cups</u></em>
Let "x" be the number of bags of seed for 144 cups
From given,
1 bag of seed = 32 cups
"x" bags of seed = 144 cups
This forms a proportion and we can solve it by cross multiplying

Thus 4.5 bags of seed is used by Mr.patel
X - Linda's speed
(x+8 )- Colleen's speed
8x - Linda's distance for 8 h
8(x+8) = 8x+64 - Colleen's distance for 8 h
8x + 8x + 64 = 176 - distance between Colleen and Linda after 8 h
8x + 8x + 64 = 176
16x +64 = 176
16x = 176 - 64
16x = 112
x= 7 mph Linda's speed
x+8 = 7+8 = 15 mph Colleen's speed
