Mathematics

Answer:

7

Step-by-step explanation:

1) "x is 23 more than 3 times y" is the same thing as "x = 23 + 3y"

REMEMBER: when you see "is" replace is with an equals sign.

2) Solve for x with your new equation.

3) Plug 6 into the y ("y = 6")

x = 23 + 3 x 6... x = 23 + 18... x = 41

4) Plug in your variables, and evaluate.

(41 - 6)/5... 35/5... 7!

the gasoline gauge on a van initially read 1/8 full. When 15 gallons were added to the tank the gauge read 3/4 full. How many mo
Nostrana [21]
So 15 gallons of gas brought it from 1/8 full to 3/4 full.

Let's change 3/4 to the equivalent fraction 6/8  so that the denominators are the same.    (3/4 = 6/8)

So 15 gallons of gas brought it from 1/8 to 6/8   Those 15 gallons must be 5/8 of the tank's capacity   6/8 - 1/8 = 5/8

So 15 is 5/8 of what number?  (This will tell us the capacity of the whole tank)

15 = 5/8n
Divide both sides by 5/8 (remembering to multiply by the reciprocal 8/5)
15 ÷ 5/8  = 15 x  8/5  = 18

So the tank holds 24 gallons and (since it is 3/4 full or has 18 gallons) it needs 6 gallons to fill the tank.

Check - at first  1/8 full (1/8 of 24 = 3)  So we started with 3 gallons. 15 gallons added to the 3 gallons is 18 gallons.  Now the tank is 6/8 (3/4 full).  The remaining 1/4 (2/8) of a tank is the difference between 18 and it's capacity (24 gallons)  so it will need 6 gallons to fill it up..

A large bag contains 5/12 pounds of nails. How many 1/8 pounds bags can be filled with this amount of nails?
Amanda [17]

so, three bags can be filled and 0.33 or 0.33*(1/3) =11/100 nails will be left

Step-by-step explanation:

We will get the number of bags that can be filled from 5/12 by dividing the total amount by the 1/8

Given

Total nails in bag = 5/12 pounds

The capacity of small bag = 1/8 pounds

So,

Number\ of\ bags = \frac{\frac{5}{12}}{\frac{1}{8}}\\Simplifying\\=\frac{5}{12}*\frac{8}{1}\\=\frac{40}{12}\\=3.33\ bags

so, three bags can be filled and 0.33*(1/3) = 11/100 nails will be left
