Answer:

4.75 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Before the termites: 5 pounds

After the termites: 1/4 of a pound

Amount that the termites took: x

5 - x = 1/4

Add x to both sides of the equation

5 = 1/4 + x

Subtract 1/4 from both sides of the equation

4 3/4 = x

4 3/4 = 4.75

The termites took 4.75 pounds from the log

Hope this helps :)

How does paying off the balance monthly help a credit card user avoid finance charges?
Tamiku [17]

Answer:

Credit cards allows us to make purchases today and pay for them later. If it takes us longer than a month to pay off our balance then we will have to pay an extra fee in the form of a finance charge.

Since finance charges is the way of charging us by the credit card issuing authority for carrying a balance on our credit card and not paying it off completely at the end of each month.

Thus, the simple way to avoid finance charges is to not carry a balance and this can be done by paying off the carrying amount on the credit card at the end of each month.
