So you would divide that and get 799.1 repeating
. If you round that you should get 800.

Since 9 times 8 is 72, and 7200 is close to that number, a proper estimate would be 800.

The product of 3 consecutive odd numbers is 2,145. Enter a simplified expression for finding the numbers. Let n be the first odd

Arlecino [84]

Answer:

11, 13 and 15.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say that the odd number is "x". If x is for example 15, then the next ODD number would be 15+2=17 and the one after that would be 15+2+2=15+4=19.

Applying that here, we get:

Odd number* the next odd number*the next odd number=2145

x*(x+2)*(x+4)=2145

x*(x^2+4x+2x+8)=2145

x^3+6x^2+8x=2145

By solving the polynomial, you get x=11.

Which makes our three numbers: 11, 13 and 15.

11*13*15=2145. The answer checks.

A baker buys 19 apples of two different varieties to make pies. The total cost of the apples is $5.10. Granny Smith apples cost

Natasha2012 [34]

The baker bought 7 gala apples, and 12 granny smiths apples

Solution:

Let "x" be the number of gala apples bought

Let "y" be the number of granny smith apples bought

Cost of 1 gala apple = $ 0.30

Cost of 1 granny smith apple = $ 0.25

A baker buys 19 apples of two different varieties to make pies

Therefore,

number of gala apples bought + number of granny smith apples bought = 19

x + y = 19 --------- eqn 1

The total cost of the apples is $5.10

Therefore, we can frame a equation as:

number of gala apples bought x Cost of 1 gala apple + number of granny smith apples bought x Cost of 1 granny smith apple = 5.10

$x \times 0.30 + y \times 0.25 = 5.10$

0.3x + 0.25y = 5.1 -------- eqn 2

Let us solve eqn 1 and eqn 2

From eqn 1,

x = 19 - y ---------- eqn 3

Substitute eqn 3 in eqn 2

0.3(19 - y) + 0.25y = 5.1

5.7 - 0.3y + 0.25y = 5.1

5.7 - 0.05y = 5.1

0.05y = 5.7 - 5.1

0.05y = 0.6

y = 12

Substitute y = 12 in eqn 3

x = 19 - 12

x = 7

Thus the baker bought 7 gala apples, and 12 granny smiths apples

Convert these unlike fractions to equivalent like fractions and add them. You must use the LCD to get the answer correct. If pos

Gnoma [55]

The converted fractions are 3/12 and 5/12 and the sum is 2/3

<h3>How to convert the fractions?</h3>

From the question, the fractions are given as

1/4 and 5/12

The denominators of these fractions are

4 and 12

So. we start by calculating the LCD of the denominators

So, we have

4 = 2* 2

12 = 2 * 2 * 3

This gives

LCD = 2 * 2 * 3

Evaluate

LCD = 12

This means that the common denominator must be 12

So, we have

1/4 and 5/12

Multiply 1/4 by 3/3

This gives

3/12 and 5/12

When the fractions are added, we have

3/12 + 5/12 = (3 + 5)/12

Evaluate

3/12 + 5/12 = 8/12

Reduce fraction

3/12 + 5/12 = 2/3

Hence, the sum of the fractions is 2/3
