Answer:
Algebra book weighs 24 oz
Grammar book weighs 15 oz
Step-by-step explanation:
algebra = x and grammar = y
x = 2y-6
5x = 8y
5(2y-6) = 8y
10y - 30 = 8y
2y - 30 = 0
2y = 30
y = 15
x = 2(15)-6
x = 30-6
x = 24
Answer: 9 remainder 2
Explanation: 9 is the closest 6 can get to 56 without going over. Since 9•6=54, and 56-54=2 , 2 is the remainder.
Answer:
Model B has 6 shaded sections
Step-by-step explanation:
The question is not complete. The complete question should be in the form:
Victor has 2 fraction models. Each is divided into equal sized sections the models are shaded to represent the same fraction. Model A is divided into 6 sections and 3 sections are shaded. Model B is divided into 12 sections. What do you know about the number of sections shaded in Model B? Explain your answer.
Solution:
The fraction modeled by model A is given by the ratio of shaded sections to the total number of sections.
That is Fraction of model A = number of shaded sections / total number of sections.
Hence:
Fraction of model A = 3 / 6
Since model B and Model A are equivalent, the number of shaded sections in Model A is given by:
number of shaded sections in model B/ total number of sections in model B = Fraction of model A
number of shaded sections in model B / 12 = 3 / 6
number of shaded sections in model B = 12 * 3/6
number of shaded sections in model B = 6
Insufficient data..u need to give the perimeter though!
