Answer: Tis 0
Step-by-step explanation:
The answer is 21, because if you multiply 21 times 3 you get 63
Answer:
Here's what I get.
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Convert the mixed number to an improper fraction
2. Invert the proper fraction and change division to multiplication
3. Multiply numerators and denominators
4. Divide the numerator and the denominator
The quotient is what you get after you invert the denominator in Step 2 and then multiply the two fractions in Step 3.
Answer:
6.4 m
Step-by-step explanation:
We have 2 expressions here. The first one is the fact that r = y. That's one of 2 equations. The second one involves whats' left after cutting off certain lengths of each color string. We cut 2.5 m from red, we cut 3.8 m from yellow. We know that what's left of red is 1.5 times the length of what's left of yellow. What's left of red is r - 2.5; what's left of yellow is y - 3.8. We know that r = 1.5y, so filling that in with our corresponding expressions gives us
r - 2.5 = 1.5(y - 3.8)
Distribute to get
r - 25 = 1.5y - 3.2
Now from the first expression, r = y, so fill in y for r to get an equation in one variable:
y - 2.5 = 1.5y - 3.2
Combine like terms:
-.5y = -3.2 and divide to get
y = 6.4
Check it to make sure it works. What's left of red should be 1.5 times the length of what's left of yellow and y = 6.4:
What's left of red: 6.4 - 2.5 = 3.9
What's left of yellow: 6.4 - 3.8 = 2.6
1.5 x 2.6 = 3.9, just like it should!
