Answer:

The distance between the ice cream shop and Joe's house is the same as the distance between the ice cream shop and the park. So Joe is not closer to the park or his house, he is in the middle.

Step-by-step explanation:

We consider that the ice cream shop is the zero value in the number line. We assume that going north is positive (right side of the number line) and going south is negative (left side of the number line).

The house position is 10 block north of the ice cream shop, so it is represented by the integer 10.

The park is 10 blocks south of the ice cream shop, so it is represented by the integer -10.

The lower absolute value of the integer, the closer position from the ice cream shop.

If we calculate the absollute value of the House position:

|10|=10

Then, we calculate the the absollute value of the Parkposition

|-10|=10

In conclusion, the distance between the ice cream shop and Joe's house is the same as the distance between the ice cream shop and the park. Joe is in the middle.

In a chest there are some gold coins. Captain takes half the coins. Sally takes a quarter of the coins. There are 3 coins left.
amid [387]

Answer:

<u>There were 12 gold coins in the chest at the start.</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the information given to us to answer the question correctly:

x = Number of gold coins in a chest

1/2x = Number of gold coins taken by the captain

1/4x = Number of gold coins taken by Sally

3 = Number of gold coins left

2. How many coins were in the chest at the start?

Let's write the following equation to solve for x:

1/2x + 1/4x + 3 = x

2x + x + 12 = 4x (Lowest Common Denominator is 4)

4x - 2x - x = 12 (Like terms)

x = 12

<u>There were 12 gold coins in the chest at the start.</u>

0f the 64 students in grade five, 3/8 of them either walk or ride a bike to school. The rest take a bus. How many fifth graders
UkoKoshka [18]
40 fifth graders take a bus to school. 8x8= 64 so they have you a good fraction to start with to find out how many kids are walking or taking their bike (3/8) all you have to do is multiply 3 and 8 which equals 24 to find the fraction of the amount of kids who take the bus you subtract 3 from 8 which gives 5/8 and to get the answer you multiply 5 and 8 which is 40.
