Answer:

Total peanut=324

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the peanut=x

Philip took 1/3 of x

Remaining peanut=x-1/3x

=3x-x/3

=2/3x

Joy took 1/4 of the remaining leaving 3/4

Remaining=(3/4)(2x/3)

=6x/12

=1/2x

Brent took 1/2 of those, leaving 1/2

=(1/2)*(1/2x)

=1/4x

Preston took 10

Remaining

1/4x - 10 = 71

1/4x = 81

x=81÷1/4

=81*4/1

x = 324

Total peanut =324

Philip=1/3x

=1/3*324

=108

Remaining 324-108

=216

Joy=1/4 of 216

=54

Remaining

324-108-54=162

Brent=1/2 of 162

=81

Preston=10

Total taken=Philip+joy+Brent+Preston

=108+54+81+10

=253

Total remaining=Total peanut - total taken

=324-253

=71

umka21 [38]

Answer: 1.4

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the grade point average you have to sum all the points of each course multiplying the hours and then diveded by the total number of hours she did.

She earned a grade B in her 4 hour topology course, so she has 3*4 points.

In her 11 hour gouvernment course, she earned a grade D, so she has 1*11 points. In the 2 hour biology course she earned a grade D, so she has 1*2 points and in her 3 hours studio art course she had also a grade D, so she has 1*3 points

She has done 3+2+11+4 hours of subjects=20.

The total average is (3*4+1*11+1*2+1*3)/20=28/20=1.4

What is the length of segment QR? (Show all work)
vazorg [7]
So if QR and PQ are the same ( which they are bc the angles and other sides are the same) 3n-1= 5n-7 so -1= 2n -7 so 6 = 2n so n = 3 then QR is 5n -7 so 5 x 3 is 15-7 is 8 so the answer is 8. Hope this helps :)
