Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1/3 of 12 = 4

1/4 of 12 = 3

4 is 1 more than 3.

The number is 12.

_____

If this does not immediately come to mind, you can solve for the number, x:

x/3 -x/4 = 1 . . . . the difference between 1/3 of x and 1/4 of x is 1

x/12 = 1 . . . . . . . collect terms: (1/3 -1/4 = 4/12 -3/12 = 1/12)

x = 12 . . . . . . . . multiply by 12

Simplify 7 1/3t−(10 2/3t−6) pls

Flura [38]

Answer:

$-\frac{10t}{3}+6$

Step-by-step explanation:

$7 \frac{1}{3}t-(10 \frac{2}{3} t-6)$

Convert $7\frac{1}{3}$ to a mixed number

$7\frac{1}{3}=\frac{7\cdot 3+1}{3}$

$=\frac{22}{3}$

$\bold{\frac{22}{3}t-\left(10\frac{2}{3}t-6\right)}$

Convert $10\frac{2}{3}$ into a mixed number

$10\frac{2}{3}=\frac{10\cdot 3+2}{3}$

$=\frac{32}{3}$

$\bold{\frac{22}{3}t-\left(\frac{32}{3}t-6\right)}$

$=\frac{22t}{3}-\frac{32t}{3}+6$

$\bold{=\frac{-10t}{3}+6}$

Terms

Follow the PEMDAS order of operation:

P = Parenthesis
E = Exponents
M = Multiplication
D = Division
A = Addition
S = Subtraction

You do these steps in the order for which the equation comes. For example, start with the exponents if there are not any parentheses.

Missouri has a shape that is similar to a trapezoid with bases of about 198 miles and 276 miles and a height of about 270 miles.

tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

63,990 mi²

Step-by-step explanation:

We can find the answer by using the formula for the area of a trapezoid and putting in the given numbers.

A = (1/2)(b1 +b2)h . . . . where b1, b2 are the base lengths; h is the height

A = (1/2)(198 mi +276 mi)(270 mi)

A = 63,990 mi²

___

Comment on the area of Missouri

This estimate is about 8.2% low.
