Lois is correct. This is because multiplication is repeated addition. It means that when your addends are just the same number but added several times, the sum is just equivalent to the product of that number times the number of times it was added. For example, 4+4+4 = 4×3 = 12.
Answer: 1900
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
J - Janeta's age M - mother's age
A) (J-5) = .2 * (M-5)
B) J = (1/3) * M
Subtracting 5 from both sides of B:
B) J -5 = (1/3)M -5
then we substitute the right side of this into the left side of A and we get
(1/3)M -5 = .2 M -1
.333333333333M -5 = .2M -1
.1111111111111111111M = 4
Mother's Age = 36
Janeta's Age = 12

Answer:
p = 
Step-by-step explanation:
q=
- r÷ t using BODMAS
q = - (r/t)
q + r/t =
p=
If Ayana gave 1/5 of the peanuts to her sister and then 3/4 of what remained to another sister, she kept 1/5 for herself. It's because:
5/5 is what she got at the beginning
5/5 - 1/5 = 4/5 is what she gave to one sister
3/4 of what remained is 3/4 * 4/5 = 12/20 = 3/5 for another sister
So now 4/5 - 3/5 = 1/5 is what she kept for herself.
