Answer with Step-by-step explanation:
a. The difference between 8 forty-sevens and 7 forty-sevens
Let ⊕ repesents forty- sevens.
So, Model can be represented by
8⊕ - 7⊕
=⊕⊕⊕⊕⊕⊕⊕⊕-⊕⊕⊕⊕⊕⊕⊕
=⊕
Mathematically,
let x represents forty-sevens.
So, it becomes

b. 6 times the sum of 12 and 8.
Mathematically, it is expressed as

Let 12 be written as 4×3
and 8 be written as 4×2
Let ⊕ represents 4 i.e. fours.
so, there are sum of 2 fours and 3 fours.
So, it becomes,
6×(⊕⊕+⊕⊕⊕)
=6×(⊕⊕⊕⊕⊕)
=⊕⊕⊕⊕⊕⊕⊕⊕⊕⊕⊕⊕⊕⊕⊕⊕⊕⊕⊕⊕⊕⊕⊕⊕⊕⊕⊕⊕⊕
=4×30
=120
Assuming the envelope consumption is proportional to the number of typists, you have ...
(12 dz)/36 = x/125
125*(12 dz)/36 = x = 41 2/3
An office of 125 typists would use 41 2/3 dozen envelopes per day.
I did the math on calculator and got A.
Hope I could help (:
One piece cause half of 8 is 4 and there is 3 people
49^(3/2)
This is the same as (sqrt49)^3
7^3 = 343
