Let x = the total number of pennies her piggy bank can hold.
Then 2/3x = the number of pennies she started with
Then 2/3x - 80 = the number of pennies she has left after taking out 80 pennies.
Then 1/2x = the number of pennies she has left after taking out 80 pennies.
Build the equation.
2/3x - 80 = 1/2x
Subtract 1/2x from each side of the equation.
(2/3x - 80) - 1/2x = 1/2x - 1/2x
1/6x - 80 = 0
Add 80 to both sides of the equation.
(1/6x - 80) + 80 = 0 + 80
1/6x = 80
Divide both sides by 1/6.
(1/6x) / 1/6 = 80 / 1/6
x = 480
So, Linda's piggy bank can hold 480 pennies!
First you have to set up your equation. 5x+80 and x+15.
Jacqueline is incorrect.
To find how much trash you can clean in 4 days if you already know how much trash you can clean in one day, multiply 1 2/3 (how much you can clean in one day) by 4.
Another way to write 1 and 2/3 miles is 5/3 (converting a mixed number to a single fraction). Then, 5/3 x 4 = 20/3. (To multiply fractions, just multiply across, leaving 5 x 4 in the numerator and 4 x 1 in the denominator.)
Jacqueline said you would be able to clean 19/3 miles but you can actually clean 20/3.
Answer:
√36 = 6
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
6^2 + 6^2 = c^2
36 + 36 = c^2
72 = c^2
√72 = c
2 36
2 18
2 9
3 3
6√2 = c
6√2 = (estimate rounded up, 8.49)
