9 quarts of red and 3 quarts of yellow. do 3/4 times 12 and 1/4 times 12
The answer is the third one.
The way I think through these problems is that where you multiply (-7x), you use addition, and where you use addition (-4), you multiply.
The answers added together will equal the second number, -7, and multiplied will give you the third, -4.
What you had chosen as the answer was close. But 7.53+-0.53 equals positive 7, not negative. However they do round to -4 when multiplied.
The correct answer, -7.53 and 0.53, do equal -7 when added together and equal -4 when multiplied.
Answer:
Jackson spent $59.48 altogether
Step-by-step explanation:
15.98+19= 34.98
34.98+24.50= 59.48
3/7 = 0.43 (approx.)
4/9 = 0.44 (approx.)
Hence, 4/9 is bigger.
