8 0

Answer:

The number of shots Nick sunk was 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x -----> number of shots that Nick sunk.

y -----> number of shots Nick missed

we know that

x+y=28

y=28-x -----> equation A

5x-2y=0 ----> equation B

substitute equation A in equation B and solve for x

5x-2(28-x)=0

5x-56+2x=0

7x=56

x=8

Find the value of y

y=28-x ----> y=28-8=20

therefore

The number of shots Nick sunk was 8

Chase plans to repaint some classroom bookcases. He has 1 4/7 ​ gallons of paint. All of the bookcases are the same size and eac
vesna_86 [32]
The custodian will be able to repaint 4 6/7 bookcases with 1 4/7 gallons of paint because you have to divide the fractions 1 4/7 and 1/3. 1 4/7 divided by 1/3. You’d turn 1 4/7 into a mixed fraction, change the division sign to a multiplication sign, and flip 1/3. Now the equation is 11/7 • 3/1. Multiply 11 and 3 which equals 33 then multiply 7 and 1 which equals 7. The fraction you get should be 33/7 and then you simplify it and it becomes 4 6/7 which is the answer.
