Withdrawals must be subtracted from the beginning balance since to withdraw means to take out, so withdrawing money would lower the balance.
Deposits are added to the balance, so they must be added in the equation.
The answer is <span>c) Beginning Balance - Withdrawals + Deposits = Ending Balance</span>
Answer:
Probably
Step-by-step explanation:
There are billions of people in the world. Chances are one of them is taking geometry at connexus.
We will assume that each of their cups holds exactly 1 cup of liquid. Let <em>m</em> represent milk and <em>c</em> represent coffee.
Jane = 1/2<em>m</em> + 1/2<em>c</em> to represent 1/2 milk and 1/2 coffee
Jean, June, and Joan = 3(1/4<em>m</em> + 3/4<em>c</em>) [they all 3 like the same ratio, so multiply the expression by 3], to represent 1/4 milk and 3/4 coffee
Ian = 1<em>c </em>(since he likes black coffee, his entire 1-cup dish of coffee will be coffee)
Adding these together we have:
1/2<em>m</em> + 1/2<em>c</em> + 3(1/4<em>m</em> + 3/4<em>c</em>) + 1<em>c</em>
= 1/2<em>m</em> + 1/2<em>c</em> + 3/4<em>m</em> + 9/4<em>c</em> + 1<em>c</em>
Find a common denominator:
= 2/4<em>m</em> + 2/4<em>c</em> + 3/4<em>m</em> + 9/4<em>c</em> + 1<em>c</em>
Convert the 1 whole to a fraction:
= 2/4<em>m</em> + 2/4<em>c</em> + 3/4<em /><em>m</em> + 9/4<em>c</em> + 4/4<em>c</em>
Combine your <em>m</em>'s:
= 5/4<em>m</em> + 2/4<em>c</em> + 9/4<em>c</em> + 4/4<em>c</em>
Combine your <em>c</em>'s:
= 5/4<em>m</em> + 15/4<em>c</em>
We know there is 4 times as much coffee as milk. Looking at the two fractions we have left, we can see that 15/4<em /> = 3(5/4). We would expect to see 4(5/4), since there is 4 times as much coffee. That means we have 5/4 or 1 1/4 of the liquid left.
