Assuming : k=weight of kingfish, a=weight of amberjack, m=weight of white marlin, t=weight of tarpon
The sum of all four fish is 252, so k+a+m+t=252
the kingfish weighs twice as much as the amberjack, so 2a=k.
the marlin weighs twice as much as the kingfish, so 2k=m.
the tarpon weighs 5 times as much as the amberjack, so 5a=t.
Replace the terms k, m, and t: 2a+a+2k+5a=252. k=2a so 2a+a+2(2a)+5a=252. Combine like terms: 8a+4a=252, 12a=252. Divide both sides by 12: a=21. The amberjack weighs 21 pounds. From this, figure out the rest: k=2a=2(21)=42, m=2k=4a=4(21)=42, t=5(21)=105.
Concluding answer - The weights are: amberjack, 21 lbs; kingfish, 42 lbs; white marlin, 84 lbs; tarpon, 105 lbs.

find the value of n in each equation. write what n represents in the related division problem 643=4×160+n
schepotkina [342]

Answer: n = 3; n represents a remainder in a division problem.


Explanation:


1) Finding n:


i) Given: 643 = 4 × 160 + n

ii) Do the operations: 643 = 640 + n

iii) Subraction property of the equality: 643 - 640 = n

iv)  Do the operations: 3 = n

Answer: n 3


2) Meaning of n


When you divide 643 by 4 the quotient is 160 and the remainder is 3, because 160 × 4 = 640, and 643 - 640 = 3.


This is, 3 is what is left when you split 643 into 4 getting 160 whole parts (plus the remainder, 3).
