Carlita was either sipping the hot chocolate while she was out, or else
approximating the numbers.  The exact number she reported is not
possible.  To see why, I'll do it strictly by the math:

Robins  =  5 times
Cardinals  =  1 time

Total birds  =  6 times 

6 times  =  25 birds

Divide each side by 6 :   1 time  =  25/6  =  4-1/6 birds

Robins =  5 times  =  20-5/6 of them
Cardinals  =  1 time  =  4-1/6 of them

Total:  (20-5/6) + (4-1/6)  =  25 birds.

How many more robins than cardinals  = (20-5/6) - (4-1/6) = 16-2/3 more. 

The math works out fine.  But if the numbers she reported are true,
then some of what she saw was partial birds ... legs, or feathers,
things like that.  Eeeew.   I don't want to talk about it.

20 because 5x5=25 so she saw 5 x as many if you divide 5 and 25 you get five

Carlos jogged 5 laps around the school track in 8 minutes. What was his average speed in laps per minute? lap(s) per minute PLEA
aleksklad [387]

Answer:

To solve this problem, you would create two ratios and make them equal to each other, both representing laps:minute or laps/minute! With that being said, laps will be in the numerator, or on top, and minutes will be in the denominator, or the bottom! The first ratio, which we know from the problem, will be 5/8. In order to write the second ratio, we need to come up with something to put in place for what we're solving for. I like to use x. So, we need to find how many laps (x) are run in 1 minute. Remember, laps are on top and minutes are on the bottom. The second ratio would look like x/1. Then we make them equal to each other -> 5/8=x/1. You would then solve this equation by multiplying the right side of the equation by the reciprocal of the denominator! So, it would be 1/1(5/8)=x. Because then multiple the numerators and the denominators -> 1(5)=5 and 1(8)=8! This makes the equation turn into x=5/8! Because x equals the number of laps run in one minute, we can say that Ricky ran 5/8 of a lap in one minute or 0.625 laps in one minute!

The length of a rectangle is 2 inches more than its width. The perimeter of the rectangle is 24 inches. The equation 2x + 2(x +
Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

Width is 5 and length is 7

Step-by-step explanation:

You can solve the equation using the distributive property and inverse operations.

2x +2(x+2)=24

2x + 2x + 4 = 24

4x + 4 = 24

4x = 20

X = 5

This means the width is 5 and the length is 7.
