Answer:

C:400 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Let w be the amount of additional  weight which can carry by an elephant.

The elephant can carry weight  on its back=1250 pounds

The combined weight of four people=831 pounds

We have to find the value of w.

According to question

w+831\leq 1250

w+831-831=1250-831

Using subtraction property of inequality

w\leq 419

Hence, the elephant can carry amount of  additional weight 419 pound or less than 419 pounds.

Therefore, option C is true.

Lostsunrise [7]
19,200$
Sabemos que gana 80$ a la hora. Podríamos escribirlo como 80h (h representa las horas que trabaja)
Trabaja 12 horas por día y 5 días a la semana. Eso sería 60 horas a la semana. En un mes hay 4 semanas entonces si trabaja 60 horas a la semana, en 4 semanas trabaja 240 horas. En un mes trabaja 240 horas. 80h donde h=240. 80(240)= 19,200

Seven hundred new chairs were delivered to a school. If each class
Natalija [7]

Answer:

24 chairs in each class needed

25 classrooms

700 chairs total

how many extra chairs

chairs will be c

t is total

t= 25×c

opposite of multiplication is division( 25 is multiplying by c) c needs to be alone

25 classrooms times chairs equal total chairs

t is 700

700=25×c

700/25=25/25c

700/25=C

c is 28

so 28 chairs for 25 classrooms

they need 24 chairs per class

so there are 4 extra chairs per class

4×25 is 100

**or just multiply 25 classes and 24 chairs

25 times 24 is 600

there are 700 chairs

100 left over

so 100 extra chairs
