-1.398 = 2.2 + n/-5.53 Does this look good so far? -1398 = 2200 + n/5530 - 2200

Answer:

  n = 19.89694

Step-by-step explanation:

You can work the problem using decimal numbers. There is no need to convert everything to integers. Trying to do so just gets you in trouble.

Subtract 2.2 from both sides:

  -1.398 -2.200 = n/-5.53

  -3.598 = n/-5.53

Now, multiply both sides by -5.53:

  (-5.53)(-3.598) = n = 19.89694

_____

The one rule that cannot be violated in algebra is that <em>you must do the same thing to both sides of the equation</em>.

_____

Your "solution" so far has a couple of errors. The first is that you have apparently multiplied all of the numbers by 1000. Unfortunately, when you multiply a denominator by 1000, it is the same as dividing by 1000. So, you have multiplied the left side by 1000, multiplied one term on the right by 1000 and divided another term on the right by 1000. This turns the equation into something different than what you started with, and will give a wrong answer.

The second error is that you have subtracted 2200 only from the right side. This, too, will turn the equation into something different than what you started with, and will give a wrong answer.

Briana has 4 1/2 cups of oats. She uses 2 1/4 cups of oats to make oatmeal- raisins cookies, then borrow 1 cup of oats from her
insens350 [35]

Answer:

She has enough with \frac{3}{4} cups left over.

Step-by-step explanation:

For this equation, it's probably easiest to use improper fractions.

At the start, she has 4\frac{1}{2} cups, or \frac{9}{2}, which can be converted to \frac{18}{4} (which is useful for the next part) by multiplying the numerator and denominator by 2.

When she uses 2\frac{1}{4} cups, which can be converted to \frac{9}{4}. When subtracting this from the original, you get \frac{18}{4}-\frac{9}{4}=\frac{9}{4}.

She borrows another cup, or \frac{4}{4} of a cup, which gets added on to the previous result, giving \frac{9}{4}+ \frac{4}{4}=\frac{13}{4}.

The recipe calls for 2\frac{1}{2} cups, which can be converted to \frac{5}{2} or \frac{10}{4}.

\frac{13}{4}-\frac{10}{4}=\frac{3}{4}, meaning she has \frac{3}{4} cups left over.

** solving this mainly uses conversion to improper fractions and adding/subtracting fractions, which may be skills you would like to practice. I'm always happy to help!

A car is traveling at a speed of 44 feet per second. what is the car's speed in miles per hour? how many miles will the car trav
Sladkaya [172]
44 feet. 3600 seconds. 1 mile
----------- ---------------------- -----------
1 second 1 hour. 5280 feet

I wrote it this way so the units cancel out. You are multiplying the fractions by each other

The car is going 30 mph, and will go 120 miles in 4 hours.
