It is! It looks like what you did here was to take 3/5 of 3 1/4, first by dividing by 5, and then by multiplying by 3. Just remember to leave your units (cups) on at the end! Also, you had a step there where you multiplied the improper fraction 3 1/4 = 13/4 by 5/5, so I’d show that step in your work.
So
if x is the number she spent on each sister and y is the number she spent on each nephew then
180=3x+2y
she wants to spend 15 dollars more on sisters than nephews
so
x=15+y
solve
we have
180=3x+2y and
x=15+y
subsitute 15+y for x
180=3(15+y)+2y
180=45+3y+2y
180=45+5y
minus 45 both sides
135=5y
divide both sides by 5
27=y
solve for x
x=15+y
x=15+27
x=42
she spent $42 on each sister
Answer:
range is 9
Step-by-step explanation:
If we start with 6 and 8, we can break 6 up into 2*3 and 8 into 2*2*2, thus getting a prime factorization of 2*2*2*2*3, or 2^4 *3.
If we begin with 4 and 12, 4 breaks into 2*2 and 12 into 2*2*3, so the prime factorization of 48 is still 2^4 *3.
The starting factors do not matter, since the answer comes out to be the same. There is exactly one correct answer- it doesn't matter how it's found.
Hope this helps! :)
