6 + 2n > 12 |subtract 6 from both sides
2n > 6 |divide both sides by 2
n > 3
Number of calories consumed on Monday = 2161
Number of Calories consumed on Tuesday = 2378
Number of Calories consumed on Wednesday = 1841
Daily average intake is 2200
Let calories intake on Thursday be X
Now ,
Average = sum of total calories/ number of calories
=> 2200 = 2161+2378+1841+X/4
=> 2200 x 4 = 6377 + X
=> 8800 = 6377 + X
=> X = 8800-6377
=> X = 2423
So Samuel must consume 2423 calories on Thursday
We can solve this two different ways. I'll do both, and you choose which one makes the most sense:
We can divide the fraction 3/4 by 12. remember, when we divide fractions, we flip the second fraction and change the sign to multiplication:
3/4 ÷12 [starting equation]
3/4 x 1/12 [flip and change sign]
3/48 [now reduce]
1/16 Each step takes 1/16 of an hour.
1/16 x 60 = 3 3/4, or 3.75 minutes
Second way:
3/4 of an hour is 3/4 of 60...45 minutes.
Still, we divide out:
45 ÷ 12 [starting equation]
3 9/12 [divide with remainder]
3 3/4 minutes...3.75 minutes
