Answer:
28
Step-by-step explanation:
40% 6th graders of 70 total = 28 6th graders
40% 6th graders + 20% 7th graders = 60%
100% - 60% = 40% 8th graders
40% are 8th graders therefore the answer is 28
Ok so basically your going to subtract 57-8 which is 49. So now you have 7y=49 so now divide 49 by 7 which is 7. So your answer is 7 and to check your work substitute 7 for y so.... 7(7)+8=57 so 57=57 which is accurate
You may need to sit down with your parents or with your teacher and
go over how to add and subtract fractions.
1). "Perimeter" means the distance all the way around the square.
With a square, all 4 sides are the same length. With <u>this</u> square,
every side is 1-1/4 inches long.
Perimeter = length of all 4 sides= (1-1/4) + (1-1/4) + (1-1/4) + (1-1/4) =
(1 + 1 + 1 + 1) + (1/4 + 1/4 + 1/4 + 1/4) =
4 + 4/4 = <em>5 inches</em> .
2). (2-3/8) + (1-7/8) = (2 + 1) + (3/8 + 7/8) =
(3) + (10/8) =
3 + 1-1/4 = <em>4-1/4 .</em>
3). The difference is (1-1/6) minus (5/6) .
Before you start to do the subtraction, write the (1-1/6) as (7/6) .
Then the subtraction is (7/6) - (5/6) = 2/6 = <em>1/3</em> .
4). This one is almost the same kind of problem as #3.
It's another subtraction.
If you need (2-1/4) all together, and you already have (1-3/8),
then the amount you still have to find, or borrow, or buy, is the
difference between those two numbers.
(2-1/4) minus (1-3/8) .
The trick is to write the (2-1/4) in some form that you'll be able to
subtract (1-3/8) from it. When I learned how to do that, it was called
'borrowing', but I think now it's called 'regrouping'.
We need to work on (2-1/4):
-- take 1 from the 2, and change it into fourths.
2-1/4 = 1 and 4/4 and 1/4 = 1 and 5/4
-- Now, take those 5/4, and turn them into eighths.
Each fourth makes 2 eighths. So 5/4 = 10/8.
Now, the (2-1/4) has turned into 1-10/8 .
We did NOT change the value. It's still the same amount
as 2-1/4 , but it's just written in a different way.
And now the subtraction is easy:
(2-1/4) minus (1-3/8) =
(1-10/8) minus (1-3/8) = (zero and 7/8).
You need <em>7/8 inch</em> more string than you already have.
i think we have to find the answer for terms of a
p=a+4b+2c
ISOLATE A
p-4b-2c=a
answer:
p-4b-2c=a
