Answer:
2 stalls
Step-by-step explanation:
Mr. Hayes has 11 straw bundles to use forr bedding in his horse stalls. What is the greatest number of stalls he can fill if each stall holds exactly 4 bundles
1 stall = 4 bundles
4 bundles = 1 stall
11 bundles = x
Cross Multiply
4x = 11
x = 11/4
x = 2 3/4 stalls
The greatest number of stalls he can build is 2 stalls
Used subtraction to solve for plates(p).
Answer:
look at the picture shown
If you're trying to solve for x, you need to use the quadratic formula.
Plug in the numbers from the standard form of a quadratic equation
(which is

)
From here, this solves down to
Take the square root of 196, which is 14
Now, you can solve for both the + and - variations on the equation.
The solutions to your equation are 1.5 and 5/8 (probably)
