The next received 2/3 of the remainder.
That means the youngest received 1/3 of the remainder.
That one third was $6.
If 1/3 = $6, then 2/3= $12
the total money the two younger received $18

The oldest received 7/13
the other two then received 6/13
so 6/13 = $18
18/6 = 3
1/13 = $3
3 * 13 = $39

Answer:$6.11 per bag

Step-by-step explanation: The total of both the apples and ice cream is 55.68. Since we’re just trying to find the total price of apples, we’ll subtract the total price of ice cream. 55.68-6.80=48.88. Now we’ll divide $48.88 by 8, since there are 8 bags. That leaves us with $6.11

A bag contains yellow marbles and blue marbles, 37 in total. The number of yellow marbles is 7 more than 5 times the number of b
Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

32

Step-by-step explanation:

let b represent the number of blue marbles then

yellow = 5b + 7 and

b + 5b + 7 = 37, that is

6b + 7 = 37 ( subtract 7 from both sides )

6b = 30 ( divide both sides by 6 )

b = 5

Thus there are 5 blue and 5(5) + 7 = 25 + 7 = 32 yellow marbles

Joel and two friends went to the movies. They each spent $5.50 on a medium popcorn and also had to buy a ticket. Altogether, the
irina1246 [14]
The answer is $9.50 because you need to take the total of the popcorn which is $16.50. Then subtract that from $45 and get $28.50. The last step to do is divide $28.50 by three to get your final answer= $9.50

The answer is= $9.50

A cube has a volume of 800 cubic units. the length of the edge of this cube is between which two numbers?
8090 [49]
I set this up as an inequality, 800 \leq  s^{3}.  If you take the cubed root of 800, you get the lower bound of the side length, which is 9.2.  Then I just worked my way up until I hit the first number that put me over a volume of 800.  That number is 9.29, because 9.28 cubed is 799.1 (not high enough) and 9.29 cubed is 801.8.  Therefore, the bounds of the sides exist within a conjunction: 9.2\ \textless \ s\ \textless \ 9.29.  That's the best I could come up with to help on that one.  Wasn't sure if there was another method you were taught at school. I just used common sense more than any rule.

O.9c + 1.89r = 17.01 c=18.9 - 2.1r equation answer
ikadub [295]

Answer:

c=18.90-2.1r

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>The complete question is</em></u>

A chef bought $17.01 worth of ribs and chicken. Ribs cost 1.89 per pound and chicken costs 0.90 per  pound. The equation 0.90 +1.89r = 17.01 represents the relationship between the quantities in this  situation.

Show that each of the following equations is equivalent to 0.9c + 1.89r = 17.01.

Then, explain when it might be helpful to write the equation in these forms.

a. c=18.9-2.1r. b. r= -10÷2c+9​

we have that

The linear equation in standard form is

0.90c+1.89r=17.01

where

c is the pounds of chicken

r is the pounds of ribs

step 1

Solve the equation for c

That means ----> isolate the variable c

Subtract 1.89r both sides

0.90c=17.01-1.89r

Divide by 0.90 both sides

c=(17.01-1.89r)/0.90

Simplify

c=18.90-2.1r

step 2

Solve the equation for r

That means ----> isolate the variable r

Subtract 0.90c both sides

1.89r=17.01-0.90c

Divide by 1.89 both sides

r=(17.01-0.90c)/1.89

Simplify

r=9-0.48c

therefore

The equation c=18.90-2.1r is equivalent

The equation is helpful, because if I want to know the number of pounds of chicken, I just need to substitute the number of pounds of ribs in the equation to get the result.
