Let x = state b , then x + 2 = state a

now: x + (x +2) = 9090 or 2x + 2 = 9090 Solving this equation:
2x + 2 = 9090 subtract 2 from both sides
2x = 9088 divide both sides by 2
x = 4544
that means x + 2 = 4546

so state a = 4546 and state b = 4544

Adrian knows that the quotient of 0.75 divided by 0.8 is less than 1. He knows that the quotient of 0.8 divided by 0.75 is great
MrRa [10]
Hey There!

Adrian knows this because whenever you divide something less than the number you are dividing, in this case, then the quotient will be less than one. If you divide something that is greater than the number you are dividing, than in this case, the answer will be greater than one.

Bradley has ordered a steak from the meat market that weighs 1 5/8 pounds. There is a bone in the steak that weighs 7/8 of a pou
KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

the bone and the steak weigh = 1 5/8 pounds

The bone weighs 7/8

The meat weighs = 15/8 - 7/8

Converting 1 5/8 to an improper fraction gives 13/8

13/8 - 7/8 = 6/8 = 3/4

18 questions answered correctly on a test. that is 75% of the total number of questions. How many questions were on the test?
adelina 88 [10]

Answer:

24 = questions on test

Step-by-step explanation:

Questions answered correctly = questions on test * percent answered correctly


We know that she answered 18 correctly and that 75% were answered correctly

Substitute this information into the equation

18 = questions on test *.75

Divide by .75 on each side

18/.75 = questions on test *.75/.75

24 = questions on test
