Let n represent the amount Colin earned on Sunday.
On Sat. he earned n/2; on Sun. he earned n; and on Friday he earned (1/2)(n/2).
Then n/2 + n + n/4 = $70
Mult. all terms by 4 to eliminate fractions:
2n + 4n + n = $280
7n = $280 => n = $40
Colin earned n/2, or $20, on Saturday; n, or $40, on Sunday; and n/4, or $10, on Friday.
Note that $20 and $40 and $10 add up to $70, as they must.
Yes because you have the follow the order of operations.
8c + 6j = 5p Subtract 6j from both sides
8c = 5p - 6j Divide both sides by 8
c =
The perimeter because the fence goes AROUND the yard, not in it.
P = 2w + 2l
P = 2(60) + 2(20)
P = 120 + 40
P = 160
Charlene needs 160 meters of fencing material.
