Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number = x
To find, the positive number = ?
According to question,
⇒ - 3x - 28 = 0
By Factorisation method,
⇒ - 7x + 4x - 28 = 0
⇒ x(x - 7) + 4(x - 7) = 0
⇒ (x - 7)(x + 4) = 0
⇒ x - 7 = 0 or, x + 4 = 0
⇒ x = 7 or, x = - 4 [ - 4 is a negative number)
⇒ x = 7
Thus, the required positive number is 7.

Step-by-step explanation:
To compare Elanor's and Gerald's math scores, we need to standardize them and calculate their z-scores.
z score can be calculated using the formula
z= where
Elanor's standardized score is:
z(e) = ≈ 1.19
Gerald's standardized score is:
z(g)= ≈ 0.72
Since z(e) > z(g), Elanor has higher score
Answer:
3.05 or 31/2 pounds
56 ounces
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the total weight all the weights have to have the same units of measurements
It is either pounds is converted to ounces or ounces is converted to pounds
1. convert ounces to pound
1 ounce = 0.0625
12 ounces = 0.0625 x 12 = 0.75 pounds or 3/4
add together = 1 1/2 + 3/4 + 1 1/4 =
=
= 3 1/2
2. 16 ounces = 1 pound
flour = 16 x 1 1/2 = 24
sugar = 16 x 1 1/4 = 20
total = 24 + 20 + 12 = 56 ounces
