Answer:
D. 116
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the grasshoppers with a white marking be 2x.
Let the grasshoppers without a white marking be 3x.
2x + 3x = 290
5x = 290
x = 290 / 5
x = 58
The grasshoppers with a white marking
= 2x
= 2 ( 58 )
= 116
Answer:
a=-36
Step-by-step explanation:
1/6(a+12)=-4
1) Distribute <u>1/6</u> to a and 12:
1/6a+2=-4
2) Subtract 2 from both sides:
1/6a=-6
3) Multiply both sides by the reciprocal of 1/6: (6/1)
a=-36
Let me know if you have any confusion on how I reached the solution :)
Here's an example: I hope this helps you out
Let’s put these into one fraction each:
Biking:
= (12*5)/8 miles
= 60/8 miles
This can be reduced to,
= 15/2 miles
Swimming:
= (5*2)/3 miles
= 10/3 miles
Running:
= (6*3)/8 miles
= 18/8 miles
This can be reduced to,
= 9/4
Now we add all the distances up:
= (15/2) + (10/3) + (9/4)
Now we just can add the numerators and the denominators. We must find the lowest common factor (LCF) for our 3 denominators (2,3,4). Our LCF turns out to be 12. *Remember what we do to the denominator we must do to the numerator. So:
= (15/2) + (10/3) + (9/4)
= [(15*6)/12] + [(10*4)/12] + [(9*3)/12]
= (90/12) + (40/12) + (27/12)
= (157/12)
Therefore Aaron Ran 157/12 miles or 13.08 miles.
Hope this helps!
