C , the little 5 at the top represents how many times 7 is multiplied.
it's a i think, hope this helps
1. 4b - 2 : the product of 4 and a number (b) decreased by 2
2. the sum of 15 and 4 times a number......15 + 4x
3. 8 fewer boys then girls...how many boys.......b = g - 8
4. It will be less then 1 because of the negative exponent....a negative exponent will mean the number is less then 1...I dont really know how else to explain it.
5. Doug is twice Anna's age...doug is 34 years old
I dont know the 5 step plan...but I am putting what I do know
d = doug's age
a = anna's age
d = 2a
d = 34
34 = 2a
34/2 = a
17 = a....so anna is 17
check..
d = 2a
d = 2(17)
d = 34 (correct)
1 * -1 = -1 which is not smaller than -1
We know that 172 of them were wood, so the rest are metal. To find that number we do:
276 - 172 = 104 metal pins.
To find the percentage that they were metal, take the number of metal pins and divide by the total number of pins:
104/276 is about 0.3768.
Multiply this by 100:
37.68
So, the percent of metal pins is 37.68%.
