Answer:??
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
198.43. dollars is the answer
1 gallon=4 quarts=8 pints
1quart=2pints
2 gallons=4*2=8quarts=16pints
2 containers are 1 quart
8-2=6 quarts left
6quars=xpints
12pint=xpints
12 pint containers
To solve this, we simply need to break down the words and turn each part into an equation.
"Three times"
This shows that we will be multiplying 3 and something.
3*
"a number"
This shows that the number we will be multiplying 3 by is "n," which represents a number.
3*n or 3n
"plus 16"
This shows we will be adding 16 to the rest of the equation.
3n+16
Using the logic above, we can see that the equation to represent this is 3n+16.
So here first you have to have same denominators to subtract and add.
to make same denominator you have to multiply something to them which meets up to their lowest common multiple (LCM). so here the easiest thing is multiply each denominator to the other but remember you have to multiply them to the numerator too.
3×9/5×9-2×5/9×5
so it becomes
27/45-10/45
17/45
as you cant bring to its simplest form since the answer in a prime no. leave it like that.
