Okay, let's work this out...
What we know:
-32 stamps in all
- rows (horizontal)
- same # in each
What we "want to know" :
- # of combinations (different)
Problem Solving :
This is actually very easy its just the words than get ya!
1st : we need to figure out the factors of 32...
In other words, we need to figure out _x_=32 and how many different combinations and ways there are!
Note:(* means multiplication)
#1: What are the factors of 32?
32: 1*32 , 2*16 , 4*8
32: 32*1 , 16*2 , 8*4
The factors (not including 1 are 2,4,8,16)
Now, as you can see, there are 4 ways to get 32 as shown first.
||||||||||||||||
||||||||||||||||
^
That ¦ is 1 way with 16 in 2 rows. Basic multiplication, 16*2=32 or 16+16=32.
But, this is also a way,
||
||
||
||
||
||
||
||
||
||
||
||
||
||
||
||
Now there should be 2 in each row and 16 rows. Again 2*16=32 or 2+2+2+2+2+2+2+2+2+2+2+2+2+2+2+2=32
That's two ways so far.
||||||||
||||||||
||||||||
||||||||
Another way which is 4 rows with 8 in each.
4*8=32 or 8+8+8+8=32
But, this is also a way,
||||
||||
||||
||||
||||
||||
||||
||||
Now that is 8 rows with 4 in each. 8*4=32 or 4+4+4+4+4+4+4+4=32
That was our fourth way.
Again NOT including 1. If you include 1 then there will be 6 ways but aside from that there are 4 ways.
I hope that helped I worked hard typing this all for you. Any questions just ask!

Your dinner bill comes to $19.68. Estimate your total cost for dinner with a 5% tax and a 20% tip on the original bill. Justify
barxatty [35]
Estimate:
Bill = $20 approximately.
5% tax on $20 = 20/20=$1
20 % on ($20) = $4
Total cost = $20+1+4 = $25
Total bill = $25 approximately.

Exact calculations
bill = 19.68
tax 5% = 0.98
Tip 20% of original = 3.94
Total bill = 19.68+0.98+3.94 = 24.60

Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

Assign x for the number. Write an equation.

2x = 6+.5x (I'm guessing you means "6 more than half that number")

Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Your question is missing the figure, so the figure for your question is attached below:

Answer:

shade 2 strips out of 4 to get fraction strip equivalent to Mandy's fraction strip

Step-by-step explanation:

As Mandy shaded the 3 trips out of the total six strips. It shows the fraction of  \frac{3}{6}

and \frac{3}{6}=\frac{1}{2}

To shade the given fraction strip so that it represents a fraction that is equivalent to Mandy's fraction strip, we should shade 2 stripes out of 4 that is equivalent to \frac{1}{2}

i.e. \frac{2}{4}=\frac{1}{2}

My Fraction Strip is equivalent to Mandy's Fraction Strip because both are equal to \frac{1}{2}
