Tank A capacity = 550 gallons 66% x 550 gallons = 363 gallons in Tank A
How about the water in tank B?
ratio of 11: 15 11/15 = 550/x 550 * 15/11 = cap B = 750 gal 53% 0f 750 = .53 x 750 = 397.5 gal in tank B
Simplifying
P + -21 + -21 = 34 + -21
-21 + -21 + P = 34 + -21
Combine like terms: -21 + -21 = -42
-42 + P = 34 + -21
Combine like terms: 34 + -21 = 13
-42 + P = 13
Solving
-42 + P = 13
Solving for variable 'P'.
Move all terms containing P to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '42' to each side of the equation.
-42 + 42 + P = 13 + 42
Combine like terms: -42 + 42 = 0
0 + P = 13 + 42
P = 13 + 42
Combine like terms: 13 + 42 = 55
P = 55
Simplifying
P = 55
Answer:
Emma was right to say that both packages are close to 2 pounds.
If we round-off the weights of both to the nearest whole number we would get 2 pounds on both. We look at the the difference of both from 2 pounds we get the following:
2.36 - 2.0 = 0.36
2.09 - 2.0 = 0.09
The smaller the difference the closer it is to the base value. So we can say that the closest one is 2.0 pounds is the package that weighs 2.09 pounds.
1,2,5 are the answers I think. I hope this helped
