Negative five is three more than twice a number(n). what is n?

a farmer produced 47581 2 oranges of one kind and 651 65 oranges of another kind He mixed these oranges and packed in 296 boxes

storchak [24]

Step-by-step explanation:

I am not sure the scanning of the text went well, as this has some strange gaps in the numbers.

I understand that we have 475812 oranges of one type and 65165 oranges of another type.

we have no information, if these types of oranges have significantly different sizes or weight. so, we have to assume that they are reasonably equal to each other.

therefore, the "different type" statement is just to confuse us. the text could have also said that these were 2 different truck loads of the same type.

we only need to deal with the total number of oranges.

so,

475812 + 65165 = 540977 total oranges

he packs them into 296 boxes.

that makes

540977 / 296 = 1827.625 oranges per box.

these are many oranges for one box in real life.

and it is not a round number, which is strange for a home work or test question if this type.

if the farmer truly put only the same number of oranges in every box, he would have

540977 - 1827×296 = 540977 - 540792 = 185

oranges left over.

in any case, these are all signs that there was probably something wrong with the text. but you see the principle up there. please do the same thing with the real numbers.

Which problem will have the greater quotient, 376.0 divided by 92 OR 376 divided by 93.01? Explain how you know logically

xxTIMURxx [149]

1. 376.0 / 92 = ?

2. 376 / 93.01 = ?

So the question asks us which quotient will be greater. In plain English it is asking which of the two, ?, will be greater. Seeing how the question is asking for a logical answer we are not going to actually solve the problem. Instead we will use logic.

First let's do some examples, and explain more in-depth how division works.

A. 6/3 = 2
B. 6/2 = 3

In this case, B is greater than A.

Greater than being any number that is larger than another on a scale reading from left to right, so if you were to count out all the way to the number the one that comes first is lower in value than the one that comes second.

Division works like this: Say we have a full delicious pie. We want to divide it up into 12 pieces so all our friends can have some. What we're doing is simply finding a value that if multiplied by 12 would equal our 1 pie. If you instead divided it by 24 you would have even SMALLER pieces of pie.

A. 5/2
B. 5/3

You might not be able to answer this one, but say our pie is equal to 5. For A. imagine we take a pie and cut it in half. Now for B. imagine a pie and cut it into 3 equal sized pieces. Which one will have the bigger individual pieces? A. will!

Keep in mind that the individual size of the piece would be the quotient (the quotient just means the answer to a division problem).

Now to quickly dismiss the 376.0, When you add 0's to the DECIMAL you do not change the value.
If you did then, 0.0 wouldn't still be 0. Or 1.0 wouldn't still be 1. The .0 is just a place holder and signifies nothing. Don't get this confused with adding a zero to the end of a number, because that does change the value (except in the case of 0). 1 with an extra zero becomes 10, and so on.

So let's tackle this problem!
A. 376.0 / 92
B. 376 / 93.01

In the end the .0 is meaningless so it's the same as this:
A. 376 / 92
B. 376 / 93.01

All we are looking for is the dividend that is smaller. (A dividend being what is dividing a number. In the case of 4/2 the dividend is 2. 5/2, the dividend is 2. 6/3, the dividend is 3. So in other words the dividend is the number after the division symbol, or in this case the slash (they are the same)).

So let's see, which is smaller? 92, or 93.01.
Whichever is smaller is going to have a bigger slice of pie than the other one. So, 92. Is our answer.

Note that this reasoning worked, because the numerator (376) is the same on both division problems. If they differed we wouldn't be able to use the same logic (at least as easily as we did in this problem!).

Miss Stoner purchase a new computer for $1,150 at the Apple store if sales tax is 7.5% what is the total of her purchase

Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

$1236.25

Step-by-step explanation:

We can convert the percentage to 0.075 to make it easier. Then, multiply 1150 by 1.075 to get 1236.25. We add the one because we need to include the initial $1150.
