You can start by writing equations with the given information

1) You know that together, Mindy and Troy ate 9, so you can write

M+T=9

2) Then, it says that Mindy ate 3, so M=3

3) Troy ate 1/4 of the total cake, however we don't know what the amount of the total cake is, so we can represent it as x, T=1/4x

4) Plug in these equations into the first equation, 3+1/4x=9

5) Solve for X, Subtract 3 from both sides to get 1/4x=6

6) Divide 1/4 on both sides, x=(6÷1/4)

x=24

Hope this helped :)

The equation you should first write, where m is the number of pieces Mindy ate, t is the number of pieces Troy ate, and 9 represents the number of pieces they ate together, would be:


m + t = 9


Next, you can plug in the other information you were given. Mindy ate three pieces, so plug in 3 for m. Troy ate 1/4 of the entire cake, so plug in 1/4c for t:


3 + 1/4c = 9


^That is an equation you could use from just plugging in the information from the problem. To solve, subtract 3 from each side to isolate the variable:


1/4c = 6


Finally, divide each side by 1/4. When you need to divide by a fraction, you can always multiply by its reciprocal to get the same results. That means dividing each side by 1/4 is the same as multiplying each side by 4:


c = 6 * 4


c = 24


There were 24 total pieces of cake.

What is the distance between (10, 6) and (-2, -3)
Helga [31]

Answer:

15 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance between the points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is

√(x1-y1)^2 + (y1-y2)^2))

So here it is:

√(10- -2)^2 + (6- -3)^2)

= √(144+81)

=  √225

= 15.

Wes measures the floor area of his rectangular living room to replace the carpet with tiles.The room is 12.4 feet long and 9.8 f
Zina [86]

Answer: 121.52 square feets

Step-by-step explanation:

The room has the shape of a rectangle and its dimensions are 12.4 feet long and 9.8 feet wide. This means that dimension of the carpet is also 12.4 feet long and 9.8 feet wide. To replace the rectangular carpet with tiles, the area of the tiles must be equal to the area of the carpet. The area of the carpet is determined by length × width.

Length of the room or carpet = 12.4 feets

Width of the room or carpet = 9.8 feets

The number of square feets of tiles that Wes will need

=12.4 ×9.8 = 121.52 square feets

- A new rectangular lawn has a
disa [49]

The number of bags of grass seed that are needed to seed the new rectangular lawn is approximately 19 bags .

<h3>Perimeter of a rectangle</h3>

The perimeter of a rectangle is the sum of the whole sides of the rectangle.

Therefore,

perimeter of the rectangle = 298 ft

The width is 67 ft.

Hence

perimeter of rectangle = 2(l + w)

where

  • l  = length
  • w = width

Therefore,

298 = 2 ( l + 67)

298 = 2l + 134

298 - 134 = 2l

164 = 2l

l = 164 / 2

l = 82 ft

Therefore,

area of the rectangle = 82 × 67 = 5494 ft²

285 ft² = 1 bag of grass seed

5494 ft² = ?

cross multiply

number of bag of grass seed to fill the new rectangular lawn = 5494 / 285

number of bag of grass seed to fill the new rectangular lawn = 19.2771929825
