Answer:

a) 12x - 48 or 6(2x - 8)

b) 18x - 48 or 6(3x - 8)

Step-by-step explanation:

A small box holds 6 eggs

A large box holds 12 eggs.

Hina buys x small box of eggs

Hina also buys (x-4) large box of eggs

a) Total number of eggs in the large box by Hina = (x-4)12

= 12x - 48

= 6(2x - 8)

b) Total number of eggs bought by Hina = (x) 6 + (x-4)12

= 6x + 12x - 48

= 18x - 48

= 6(3x - 8)

If two thirds of a number decreased by 20 is 40, what is the number
oee [108]

Answer:

The unknown number is 90

Step-by-step explanation:

This question requires a good understanding so as to interprets it well

And always ensure that all symbols used in representation are well stated so as to help the examiner or anyone who will mark it to understand better

So back to the question,let the unknown number be x

And two thirds of the unknown number is 2/3x

2/3x was decreased by 20 which can be written as 2/3x-20

And this decrease gives 40

That's,2/3x-20=40

Then go ahead to solve the question

Start by finding the LCM and the LCM is 3

2x-60/3=40

Cross multiply

2x-60=40×3

2x-60=120

Collect like terms by adding 60 to both sides

2x=180

Divide both sides by 2

x=90

Therefore the final answer is 90

what is the common ratio for the geometric sequence below, written as a faction? 768,480,300,187.5,...
ser-zykov [4K]
To determine the common ratio of the geometric sequence, divide the second term with the first term. 480 divided by 768 equals 5/8. Further, the ratio of the third and second terms may be used to check the consistency of the common ratio. The ratio is also 5/8. Thus, the common ratio is 5/8.

McGill types 270 words in six minutes his paper is 630 words if he keeps waving at the same rate and how many more minutes when
Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

8 more minutes.

I think the perfect version in your question is:

<em>McGill types 270 words in six minutes his paper is 630 words if he keeps waving at the same rate and how many more minutes when McGill finish typing his paper</em>

Given that:

  • 270 words in six minutes <=> 1 minute = \frac{270}{6} = 45 words
  • His paper is 630 words

So, the total minutes he needs to finish the paper if  he keeps waving at the same rate is:

\frac{The number of words}{Number of words written in one minute}

= \frac{630}{45}

= 14 minutes.

So he needs 14 minutes to finish writing the paper, but he wrote 270 words in 6 minutes already, so it will take him 14-6 = 8 more minutes.

Hope it will find you well!
