Three-fourths of a number increased by one-half
= 3/4 x + 1/2
So three-fourths of a number increased by one-half is equal to fourteen:
3/4 x + 1/2 = 14
Multiply both sides by 4
3x + 2 = 56
Subtract 2 from both sides
3x = 54
Divide both sides by 3
x = 18
Answer: The number is 18
Answer: 948
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question, we are informed that 4-pound pumpkin will yield about 1.5 cups of mashed pumpkin (pumpkin puree).
Therefore, the number of cups of pumpkin puree that Steve Geddes' 2,528-pound pumpkin will yield will be:
= (2528/4) × 1.5
= 632 × 1.5
= 948 cups of pumpkin puree
plane 1 travels 395 miles in 1 hour
plane 2 travels 422 miles in 1 hour
together, they travel (395+422) 817 miles in 1 hour
to have 2451 miles between then, they'd need to travel
so in 3 hours, they'll be 2451 miles apart
If each person got 1/6 then there is still 2/6 left over, =1/3. In fraction strips, we would do
1
1/3 1/3 1/3 1/3
1/6 1/6 1/6 1/6 1/6 1/6 for the overall tomato and then 1/6 1/6 for the remaining piece of the tomato.
Hope this helps, if you need any more help just comment :)
