Answer:

Mario could solve using the following equation:  x=(84-34.5)/8.25 which equals 6.  

Step-by-step explanation:

If the tent comes with 7 feet of rope, we need to first convert that measurement to inches.  Since there are 12 inches in one foot, then 7feet of rope= 7 x 12 = 84 inches.  Of the 84 inches of rope, 34.5 inches of that will be used to tie a tarp on the top of the tent.  With the remaining rope, Mario will need to cut sections that measure 8 1/4 or 8.25 inches.  If 'x' represents the number of sections he can cut, he can set up the equation such that: x = (84-34.5)/8.25, or 6.

6) The sum of three consecutive numbers is 120.<br> What is the smallest of the three numbers ?
bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

39

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the smallest number be n,

then the three numbers are n, n+1 and n+2

Therefore, n+(n+1)+(n+2)=120

Collecting like terms,

n+n+n=120-1-2

3n=117

n=117/3

n=39

Therefore the numbers are 39,40 and 41.

And the smallest number is 39.

Karen has 1/2 cup of sugar. She is baking cookies and needs 1 1/3 cups for a recipe. How much more sugar does she need If she wa
Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

3 1/2 cups

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's start by figuring out how much sugar Karen needs in total.

She needs (1+1/3) cups for her original recipe. To triple that, we need (1+1/3) 3 times. We can calculate this by multiplying it by 3.

(1+1/3) * 3 = 3 + 1 = 4

Karen needs 4 cups in total. She has 1/2 cup. The difference is how much more she needs. Therefore, she needs 4 - 1/2 = 3 1/2 cups

Rita runs 6 miles in 44 minutes. At the same rate, how many minutes would she take to run 9 miles?
kherson [118]

You run 0.5 miles every 3 minutes => 1 mile every 6 minutes. Your friend runs 2 miles every 14 minutes => 1 mile every 7 minutes. You run a whole number of miles every number of minutes that is a multiple of 6. Your freind runs a whole number of miles every number of minutes that is a multiple of 7 Then the least possible number of miles that you both run to end at the same time is the least common factor of 7 and 6 minutes. This is 7 * 6 = 42 minutes. You will have run 42 min / (6 miles/min) = 7 miles, and your friend will have run 42 min / (7 miles/min) = 6 miles

A leaking faucet drips into a bucket. The faucet drips at a constant rate. The level of water in the bucket rises
Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

The per hour rate is 0.5 inches per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to calculate the rate at which the level of the water increased

Mathematically, we can get this by dividing the amount of increment by the time it took

That would be 3 inches divided by 6 hours

= 3/6 = 0.5 inches per hour
