Maryellen would be 15, because if her mother is twice that plus 8 that would make her 38. Then, if Maryellen's dad is 3 years older than the mom that means he is 41. Add all the ages, 94.

I’m not understanding the answer listed on this site to the following question:
kobusy [5.1K]
Okay, I think I understand this. Our first step is to solve how long the string is after he used some of it to tie the package. I have a feeling we have to subtract 7/8 - 1/5. Find a least common multiple (in this case, it's 40) and our new fractions are 35/40 and 8/45. Subtract:

35/40 - 8/40 = 27/40.

I don't think this can be simplified down any further as they do not have any common factors. So with that in mind, let's divide 27/40 with 5/1 (5/1 is basically 5 wholes but in fraction version)

When dividing fractions, you want to use the KCF technique (my old math teacher taught me this). Keep the first fraction the same (in this case, 27/40), change the sign from multiplication to division, and flip 5/1 to get it's reciprocal, 1/5. The equation will look like this:

27/40 * 1/5 = 27/200

So each piece is about 27/200 m in length (or 0.135 m in length).

If this is wrong, please let me know, but this is what I got out of this question. I hope this helped you :)

A candy store makes a 9-pound mixture of gummy candy, jelly beans, and hard candy. The cost of gummy candy is $2.00 per pound, j
Musya8 [376]

Let

x--------> the amount of gummy candy in pounds

y--------> the amount of jelly beans in pounds

z-------->  the amount of hard candy in pounds

we know that

x+y+z=9 --------> equation 1

2x+3y+3z=23 --------> equation 2  

x=2y --------> equation 3  

Substitute equation 3 in equation 1 and equation 2

[2y]+y+z=9 -----> 3y+z=9 ------> equation 4

2[2y]+3y+3z=23 -----> 7y+3z=23 ------> equation 5  

using a graphing tool ------> Solve the system of equations

see the attached figure

the solution is the point (3,2)

z=3\ pounds\\y=2\ pounds

<u>Find the value of x</u>

x=2y

x=2*2=4\ pounds

therefore

<u>the answer is</u>

the amount of gummy candy is 4\ pounds

the amount of jelly beans is 2\ pounds

the amount of hard candy is 3\ pounds

a company donates 935 pencils to a school. the pencils are divided evenly among 9 classrooms. the rest of the pencils are given
wariber [46]
The problem deals with a division and the rest of it, that is dividing the total amount of pencils into 9 classrooms and the rest, lets express it as fraction:
935/9 = 103 + 8/9
that is, if we multiply 103*9 we get 927 and are 8 pencils left over, therefore, 8 pencils are donated to the library and each classroom gets 103 pencils, in total 935 pencils are donated.
