Answer:

10 bugs

Step-by-step explanation:

If last month the spider ate 8 bugs, and this month the spider ate 25% more bugs, we can calculate the amount of bugs the spider ate this month finding how much is 25% of 8 bugs, and them we sum this value to the 8 bugs it ate last month.

25% of 8 = 8 * 25 / 100 = 2

Now we know that the spider ate 2 more bugs, so the amount of bugs it ate this month is 8 + 2 = 10 bugs.

We can also solve this problem multiplying directly 8 by 1.25 (1.25 represents the 25% increase in the bug consumption):

8 * 1.25 = 10 bugs.

If DE= 4x–1, EF= 9, and DF= 9x–22 , find the value of x
dybincka [34]

Answer:

The correct answer is x = 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, we first must recognize that DE + EF = DF.

From this information, we can set up the following equation when we substitute in the given values:

DE + EF = DF

(4x-1) + 9 = 9x - 22

Our first step is going to be to combine like terms on the left side of the equation.  This is modeled below:

4x - 1 + 9 = 9x - 22

4x + 8 = 9x - 22

Then, we should subtract 4x from both sides of the equation.

8 = 5x - 22

Now, we can add 22 to both sides of the equation.

30 = 5x

Finally, we can divide both sides by 5.

x = 6

Therefore, the correct answer is x = 6.

Hope this helps!

12+root of 35 divided by 2 + 12-2 root of 35 divided by 2
nadya68 [22]
So : 12+ \frac{\sqrt{35}}{2} + \frac{12-2 \sqrt{35} }{2}?

First, you want to bring everything together on the top of the fraction. 
12=24/2 so you can have \frac{24+ \sqrt{35}+12-2 \sqrt{35} }{2}

Add like terms -- 12 +24 = 36       \sqrt{35}-2 \sqrt{35} = \sqrt{35}

Now we are at \frac{24+ \sqrt{35} }{2} Which is the lowest possible simplified version while remaining at exact value. 

Feel free to check my math! I kinda did this off the top of my head.

Alicia has 3 1/6 yards of fabric. After making a tablecloth, she had 1 4/6 yards of fabric. Alicia said she used 2 3/6 yards of
Katarina [22]
An easier way to do this is to make the fractions improper fractions.
3 1/6 can be rewritten as 19/6. 1 4/6 can be rewritten as 10/6. (Multiply the denominator by the number at its side, and add it to the numerator). 
2 3/6 is 15/6.
Subtract 10/6 from 19/6.
19/6-10/6=9/6.
9/6 is not 15/6, therefore she did not use 2 3/6 yards of fabric.
