Answer:

Word problem: A recipe for making cookies use half cup of sugar for 1 cup of flour to make one pound of cookies. How many cups of sugar you need to make 3 pound of cookies.

As you can see to solve that problem you need to multiply the fraction 1/2, which is the number of cups needed to make 1 pound of cookies, times the number of pounds that you want to make.

So, for this problem you have to multiply 1/2 times 3.

My estimate is that the result is 1.5.

You can verify my estimate by multiplying:


        1        3x1       3
3 x ----- =  ------ = ------ = 1.5
        2.       1x2       2

So, I have shown that my estimate was correct.

Aaron and Maria collected shells one morning at the beach. Maria had 3 times as many as Aaron, but they would have had the same
Hoochie [10]
Let the amount of shells collected by Aaron be x and the amount of shells collected by Maria be y respectively. Then the following system of equations should be solved:
\left \{ {{3x=y} \atop {x+8=y-6}} \right.

First of all, express y out of first equation:
y=3x

Then, replace y in second equation with found expression and solve it:
x+8=3x-6
2x=14
x=14/2=7

Finally, replace x in first equation with found value and solve it too:
3*7=y
y=21

So, Aaron has found 7 shells while Maria has found 21.

Given x=-3, y=6, and z=-4<br> -15+(-x)+y=
Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

-6

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given x=- 3 , y= 6 and z= -4.

We are also given the expression:

-15 + (-x) +y

Substitute -3 in for x and 6 in for y.

-15 + (- -3) + 6

2 negative signs creates a positive sign

-15 + (+3) +6

-15 + 3+ 6

Add -15 and 3.

(-15+3) +6

-12 +6

Add -12 and 6.  

-6

-15+(-x)+y evaluated at x= -3 and y=6 is equal to -6.

Please help and explain ( Brainliest for answer!)
Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

AD = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Pythagoras theorem formula: a² + b² = c² (c being the hypotenuse, the longest side of the triangle).

Using this formula, you can easily say that c²-b²=a². c=5, b=4, making the equation 5² - 4² = a ².

Expanding the formula, you'll get 25 - 16 = a².

25 - 16 = 9.

This means that 9 = a².

To find a, you need to root 9. Using a calculator, you'll know that this number is 3, meaning that AD = 3.
