Joseph and Wendy were catching tadpoles. At first Wendy caught nine times three more than Joseph caught. Joseph was upset and re

leased half of Wendy 's tadpoles, and then six times as many as Joseph caught swam away. After all of this, Wendy only had three tadpoles left. How many tadpoles did Joseph catch?

Answer:

Joseph caught 7 tadpoles

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of tadpoles caught by Joseph be x

The number of tadpoles Wendy caught will be ;

9(x + 3)

After Joseph was upset, he released half of Wendy’s tadpole and then six times as many as Joseph caught swam away leaving Wendy with only three tadpoles left;

Hence, mathematically;

9(x + 3)/2 - 6x = 3

Multiply through be 2

9(x + 3) - 12x = 6

9x + 27 -12x = 6

9x -12x = 6-27

3x = 21

x = 21/3

x = 7

Answer:

Commutative property of multiplication

Step-by-step explanation:

Commutative property of multiplication basically means that the order in which you multiply numbers does not matter.

For exampe:

3 x 4 = 4 x 3

    12 = 12

In your case:

5 x 7 x 4 = 5 x 4 x 7

        140 = 140

If we break that down:

5 x 7 x 4 = 5 x 4 x 7

   35 x 4 = 20 x 7

        140 = 140

ANSWER:

1) 25.70 cm 2) 30.84 cm 3) 10.71 km 4) 1.07 km 5) 6.71 cm 6) 10.07  mm

EXPLANATION:

<em>1. Know that the circumference formula for a full circle is:</em>

C = 2\pi r

The value of pi (\pi) = 3.14

The radius (r) will be given in the diagrams.

<em>2. Now we can figure out the perimeters. </em>

<u>Shape One: Semi-circle</u>

C = 2 x 3.14 x 5

C = 31.4 cm

Divide the circumference by 2 because it is a semi-circle. Then add 10 cm to this (because the flat side is 10 cm).

P = \frac{31.4}{2} +10

P = 25.7 cm ≈ 25.70 cm

<u>Shape Two: Semi-circle</u>

C = 2 x 3.14 x 6 (the picture shows the diameter so we need to half that to get the radius)

C = 37.68 cm

Divide the circumference by 2 because it is a semi-circle. Then add 12 cm to this (because the flat side is 12 cm).

P = \frac{37.68}{2}+12

P = 30.84 cm

<u>Shape Three: Quadrant</u>

C = 2 x 3.14 x 3

C = 18.84 km

Divide the circumference by 4 because it is a quadrant. Then add 6 km to this (because the two flat sides are 3 km each and so it is 6 km total).

P = \frac{18.84}{4} +6

P = 10.71 km

<u>Shape Four: Quadrant</u>

C = 2 x 3.14 x 0.3

C = 1.884 km

Divide the circumference by 4 because it is a quadrant. Then add 0.6 to this (because the two flat sides are 0.3 km each and so it is 0.6 km total).

P = \frac{1.884}{4} + 0.6

P = 1.071 km ≈ 1.07 km

<u>Shape Five</u>

C = 2 x 3.14 x 1

C = 6.28 cm

For this shape, we need to subtract the circumference of the missing sector from the circumference of the full circle to obtain the circumference for this shape. So, the circumference for the shape would be:

C =  6.28 - \frac{6.28}{4}

C = 6.28 - 1.57

C = 4.71 cm

Then add the flat sides (1 cm + 1 cm = 2 cm) to this circumference to get the perimeter.

P = 4.71 + 2

P = 6.71 cm

<u>Shape Six</u>

C = 2 x 3.14 x 1.5 (Divide the 3 mm diameter by 2 to get the radius)

C = 9.42 cm

Do the same thing you did for Shape 5.

C = 9.42 - \frac{9.42}{4}

C = 7.065 mm

Then add the flat sides (1.5 + 1.5 = 3) to this circumference.

P = 7.065 + 3

P = 10.065 mm ≈ 10.07 mm

To the percentage of something do $45 times 0.3

0.3 represents the percent of discount

When you do that you should get $13.5

$13.5 just represents the amount you are going to take away from $45, so subtract 13.5 from 45

Answer:

D. $31.5
