Given:
Scott and Nikki each have a full 1.5-gallon container of liquid laundry detergent.
Lid on Scott's container can hold 3 fluid ounces of detergent.
Lid on Nikki's container can hold 4 fluid ounces of detergent.
To find:
The number of lids full of detergent Scott have more than Nikki.
Solution:
We know that,
1 gallon = 128 fluid ounces
1.5 gallon = 192 fluid ounces
Lid on Scott's container can hold 3 fluid ounces of detergent. So, number of lids full of detergent Scott have is
Lid on Nikki's container can hold 4 fluid ounces of detergent. So, number of lids full of detergent Nikki have is
Difference between number of lids is
Therefore, Scott have 16 lids more than Nikki. Hence, the correct option is B.
The area of a rectangle is (length) times (width).
So you have to find a pair of numbers that multiply to produce 6 .
If you only stick to whole numbers, then I don't think there are three
different ones. You're going to need one pair that multiply to 6 and
are not both whole numbers.
After I explain how to solve problems, I hate to give answers. But with
all due respect, I have a feeling that I haven't nudged you enough yet
for you to use my explanation to find the answers on your own.
So here are some answers:
1 and 6
2 and 3
and sets of dimensions that are not both whole numbers, like
0.6 and 10
1.2 and 5
1.25 and 4.8
1.5 and 4
2.4 and 2.5
1.09=109% 109\100 the first one is the percent and the second one is the fraction I really hope this helps
(3/4) /(4/5) = x/1
cross multiply
4/5x = 3/4
x = 3/4 * 5/4
x = 15/16 tons of pebbles are needed to cover the entire garden
Collect like terms (x + 7x) + (-1 + 4 - 3)
Simplify
Answer: 8x
