The most important part of this question is understanding the words of the problem. The trick lies in the words of the problem. Once the web of words is simplified, the problem becomes very easy. The main thing is converting the words into numbers.
Let us assume the unknown number = x
Then from the question we get
(x/4) = (x/5) + 1
(x/4) - (x/5) = 1
(5x - 4x)/20 = 1
x/20 = 1
x = 20
So the unknown number is 20

The length of an alligator in a zoo is 14 5/6 feet.The everglades national parks list the longest alligator ever reocord in flor

astraxan [27]

Answer:

The difference in the lengths of the two alligators = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let us make the lengths improper fractions, then we will find the difference from there.

Alligator 1:

Length = $14\frac{5}{12} = \frac{173}{12}$

To convert to improper fraction, multiply the denominator by the whole number, and then add the denominator [(12 × 14) + 5]

Alligator 2:

Length = $17\frac{5}{12} = \frac{209}{12}$

Now Let us find the difference between the lengths:

$\frac{209}{12} - \frac{173}{12} = \frac{36}{12} =3$

Therefore the difference in the lengths of the two alligators = 3

Noah and Carter are collecting box tops for their school. They each bring in 1 box per day starting on the first day of school

Sedbober [7]

Answer:

Well since they're bringing 1 each day, just multiply that by the number of days of school, or just use the variable x to replace it.

1x = the number of box tops they each bring to school

Answer:

233.19 inch³

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of prisms: Length * Width * Height

given for first prism: Length = 7 cm Width = 3.25 cm Height = 7 cm

given for second prism: length = 7 cm width = 3.25 height = 3.25

using the formula:

Total volume: prism 1 volume + prism 2 volume

Total volume: 7 * 3.25 * 7 + 7 * 3.25 * 3.25

: 159.25+ 79.9375

: 233.1875 inch³

: 233.19 inch³ .........rounded to nearest hundredth
