Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming that the numbers went in a pattern instead of a random order it would be 48 because 48 divided by 3 would be 24. 24 would be the first number though, so it would be 48 because 24 plus 24 is 48.

Hope this helps, have a great day!

You can buy 7 flats of flowers. this is because 10.99 is close to 11.00, and 7 x 11 is 77. and you cant do 77 + 11 to get less then 80.

the answer: 7 flats of flowers

Al saves pennies. He agreed to give 3/7 of his pennies to Bev if she would give 3/7 of what she got from Al to Carl and if Carl

ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

2744 pennies.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of pennies Al have initially.

We have been given that Al agreed to give 3/7 of his pennies to Bev, so number of pennies Bev will get would be $\frac{3}{7}x$ .

We are also told that Bev gave 3/7 of what she got from Al to Carl, so number of pennies that Carl will get would be $\frac{3}{7}x\cdot \frac{3}{7}=\frac{9}{49}x$ .

Further, Carl gave 3/7 of what he got from Bev to Dani, so number of pennies that Dani will get would be $\frac{9}{49}x\cdot \frac{3}{7}=\frac{27}{343}x$ .

We are also told that Dani received 216 pennies. Now, we will equate 216 to $\frac{27}{343}x$ and solve for x as shown below:

$\frac{27x}{343}=216$

$\frac{27x}{343}*343=216*343$

$27x=74088$

$\frac{27x}{27}=\frac{74088}{27}$

$x=2744$

Therefore, Al have 2744 pennies initially.

Michael Jordan is 6'6'' tall and could jump 4 feet of vertical distance off the ground.A basketball net's rim is 3.9 meters off

Vaselesa [24]

No. 6+4=10. Michael Jordan's head reaches 10'6" above the ground. A meter is slightly more than 3 feet, so 3.9 meters is more than 11'8".

MJ's head would not reach the rim by more than a foot.
