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

140 fluid ounces increased by 45%
Stels [109]
Hello!

"Increase" means to add. We must find out what 45% of 140 fluid ounces is, and to do that we must first convert the percentage to a decimal and then multiply it by the amount of fluid ounces.

I know, that's probably a lot to take in! :D

45% ÷ 100 = 0.45 as a decimal

0.45 × 140 = 63

Add this to the amount of fluid ounces:

140 + 63 = 203

Final Answer:

203 fluid ounces.

Describe a real-life multiplication situation for which an estimate makes sense . Explain why it makes sense
monitta

Answer: Here we have a real life multiplication situation for which an estimate make sense:-


Miley has 212 fiction books. Sharon has 3 times fiction books has many as Miley has, how many fiction books Sharon has

Solution :- Number of fiction books Miley has = 212

Number of fiction books Sharon has= 3 times 212

We know that 212 is near to 200 , so round off 212 to 200 (to the nearest hundred)

Thus the product becomes 3\times200=600

Therefore, the estimated number of fiction books Sharon has=600
