Livingston is a marble freak and loves to play at school. During the first break he doubled the number of marbles he had. During

the second break he lost four marbles (no big deal). During the third break, he increased his stock of marbles by 1/3. During lunch, however, he lost half of his marbles. After school, Livingston played again and tripled what he had. He went home with 72 marbles. How many did he start with?

He went home with 72 marbles after tripling his stock. That means he had 72/3 = 24 before school ended. 

<span>If he lost half at lunch, he had 24 * 2 = 48 before lunch. </span>

<span>During the third break, he increased he stock by 1/3. That means that 48 = 4/3 * x, so he had 36 before the third break. </span>

<span>During the second break he lost 4, so before he had 36 + 4 = 40. </span>

<span>During the first break he doubled his marbles, so before he had 40 / 2 = 20.</span>

 What specific information do you find when looking up a word in a basic dictionary?
ruslelena [56]

<span>When you look up a word in a basic dictionary, there is quite a bit of information you’ll find.  Of course, you’ll find the definition of the word.  If the word, however, has more than one meaning, all meanings will be presented in the entry.  The word will be spaced out into syllables.  You’ll see the phonetic pronunciation of the word.  For instance, if you look up the word, “happy,” you’ll see “hap-ee.”  In addition, some dictionaries will also present a word’s language origin (such as Latin or French) as well as the part of speech such as whether the word is a noun, verb, adjective, etc. </span>

miss Akunina [59]

Answer: b. She used to wear pretty clothes and be lively-when she was Minnie Foster, one of the town girls, singing in the choir.

Explanation: In this sentence (and several other remarks) we learn something that is, plot-wise, very important about Mrs. Wright's past: she used to have a liveliness in her youth (before marrying) that is now gone and at some point in the last 20 years, she has stopped wearing pretty clothes.

I need someone to make me a essay real quick PLZ
AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

Well, think about this, do you want to tell someone else’s story and hold it close to pretend it’s your own... or have a personal story that I can help you write? What’s something that’s been bothering you lately about the way people around you act, what’s a realization about yourself you came to and made you realize you needed to change, maybe you watched someone close to you suffer through something and you can elaborate on how that might’ve changed you. This assignment is asking, scratch that, practically begging to be dramatic and heartfelt. So put your strongest experience into it. It’s also got to b under 1000 words so focus on a moment or the time when it really hit you, briefly explain the situation and go in depth into the moment your world just went boom n how it changed you. That’s all I can really help with without more details, hope it helps !
