Change in level is given by :

C = increase in level - decrease in level.

Now,

Decrease in level in March is 2 1/4 = 9/4 inches.

Increase in level in April is 1 5/8 = 13/8 inches.

Putting value of these in above equation, we get :

C = 13/8 - 9/4

C = 13/8 - 18/8

C = -5/8 inches

Therefore, the overall level after April will decrease by 5/8 inches.

Hence, option 4. is correct.

A superhero recently asked his nemesis how many cats she has. She answered with a​ riddle: ​"One-half of my cats plus two​."
mixer [17]
I got ten. Here's the equation. 

x = 1/2x + 5 

<span>Subtract 1/2x from both sides to get all x's on one side </span>

<span>x - 1/2x = 1/2x - 1/2x + 5 </span>

<span>1/2x = 5 </span>

<span>Now multiple the left by 2 to get x, but since it's an equation, you need to also multiply the right by 2 to keep it =. </span>

<span>2 * 1/2x = 2 * 5 </span>

<span>x = 10 cats</span>

Jason has already used 4/12 cans of paint while painting furniture. He is painting chairs which each use 10/6 cans of paint.
Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

Based off of the calculations I did, I got 32 as the answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Jason uses 10/6 of the paint for each chair he paints and according to the question, there are 19 chairs.

So we multiply these two numbers to get the amount of paint used after painting all 19 chairs.

10/6 * 19 = 31.666...

Then we add the previous amount Jason used for painting the furniture to the total amount of paint used after painting the 19 chairs.

31.666... + 4/12 = 32.

Thus, Jason used 32 cans of paint in total.
