Answer:
You are probably making this harder than it is. That's what I was doing. So it is asking for the hour when it is
. So that would be 4. Then it is asking for the temperature at 2 hrs. so that would be 104
. so your answer would be 104, 4.
Hope this helps!
10/5 =2
7-2+4^2 =5+16=21
2*21=42
I like to start by turning all my numbers into the same form. You can go either way but I am going to turn the decimals into fractions. so 0.7 is the same as 7/10.
0.755 is like 755/1000 which can be reduced to 151/200 (if you don't understand the convertions let me know i will explaine more.)
Next give all the fractions a common denominator. both 8 and 10 go into 200 so we can use that. 151/200 already has a denominator of 200 so that one is set.
for 7/10 well, 10 time 20 is 200 so multiply both the numerator and the denominator by 20 so you get 140/200
the last one is 5/8 8 times 25 is 200 so multiply both numbers by 25 to get 125/200
the fractionos we have are 125/200 151/200 and 140/200. Now because they all have the same denominator the one with the lowest numerator is the least number and the one with the highest number is the greatest number.
125/200 140/200 151/200 now just replace the original number with the order they are placed in.
125/200 was 5/8
140/200 was 0.7
151/200 was 0.755
so the final answer is
5/8, 0.7, 0.755
Sugar: x pounds
flour: 2x + 5 pounds
2x + 3(2x + 5) = 40
2x + 6x + 15 = 40
8x = 25
x = 3.125
-> a sack of flour is 3.125 + 5 = 8.125 pounds
I hope it‘s coorect
