Answer:
225
Step-by-step explanation:
Mary = 3x (3 times Carey)
Carey = x
Barry = x/2 (Because Carey read twice as many as Barry, it means he read half the amount Carey did)
3x + x + x/2 = 405
4x + x/2 = 405
8x/2 + x/2 (treat these as fractions) = 405
9x/2 = 405
9x = 810 (cross multiply)
x = 90
Mary = 3(90) 270
Carey = 90
Barry = 90/2 45
Mary - Barry
270 - 45 = 225
Hope this helps! :)
8090kg-4854kg=decrease in kg ----- find the difference
3236=decrease in kg
3236kg/8090kg=percent decrease ----- decrease/original amount
0.4= percent decrease ------ percent decrease in decimal form
0.4*100=percent decrease ------ multiply by 100 to get percent form
40% decrease
6 = 2(x+8) - 5x
⇒ 2x+ 2*8 -5x= 6
⇒ (2x -5x)+ 16= 6
⇒ -3x = 6 -16
⇒ -3x = -10
⇒ x= -10/(-3)
⇒ x= 10/3
⇒ x= 3 1/3
The correct answer is B. 3 1/3~
You can set up a proportion to determine the length of the enlarged photo
If your question is how many positions are possible, then the answer is 24.
We find this by thinking of how many people can be in each spot. If there are 4 spots each person can stand (back left, back right, front left, front right), then there are 4 possible choice for the first spot (mom, dad, son, daughter), then 3 for the next spot (since 1 is already in a spot), then 2 options for the next spot, and then 1 option for the last spot. In other words, the answer is 4x3x2x1, or 4 factorial.
