Answer: It costs $5.52 to Sam to buy 12 stamps.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: Sam paid $8.28 for 18 stamps.
Thus, the cost of 18 stamps = $8.28
Then the cost of 1 stamp=
Thus, the cost of 1 stamp=$0.46
With the same rate , the cost of 12 stamps=
Therefore, the cost of 12 stamps= $5.52
hence, it costs $5.52 to Sam to buy 12 stamps.
The common denominator is already there 12 is the common denominator!! :)
Answer:
x > 3
Step-by-step explanation:
3x-9-5x > -3x - 6
3x-5x+3x > -6+9
x > 3
(x-5)(x+3)=0
x^2+3x-5x-15=0
(x^2+3x) (-5x-15)
x(x+3) -5(x+3)
x-5=0 x+3=0
x=5 OR -3
1/2, because 9/16 is closer to 8/16 which reduces to 1/2. It is not as close to 0/16 (0) or 16/16 (1)
