Answer: the last one

Step-by-step explanation: because 7 times 24 equals 168 and x would be 21 so 21 times 8 equals 168.

Jasmine had a carrot cake with cream cheese frosting for her birthday .she and her friend each ate 1/4 of the cake and jasmine's
zloy xaker [14]
Hey there!

To solve this problem, you first would need to solve for how much of the cake is left after Jasmine, her friend, and Jasmine's brother got their slices. Then, you would need to split the remaining amount in half to get the answer of what each parent ate. We would need to make all of the denominators the same, so let's make all of the fractions out of 12, a common denominator of 3 and 4. 

\frac{12}{12} - \frac{1}{4} - \frac{1}{4} - \frac{1}{3}
\frac{12}{12} - \frac{3}{12} - \frac{3}{12} - \frac{4}{12}
\frac{12}{12} - \frac{10}{12} = \frac{2}{12}

It can then be concluded that each parent ate \frac{1}{12} of the cake, since there was \frac{2}{12} remaining. 

You can check this answer by adding up all of the parts we used in this problem:

\frac{3}{12} + \frac{3}{12} + \frac{4}{12} +  \frac{1}{12} +  \frac{1}{12} = \frac{12}{12}

Hope this helped you out! :-)

17. A bag contains 2x yellow counters, 4x + 6 red counters and 6x - 10 blue counters. a. Write an expression, in terms of x, for
Natalija [7]

Answer: 12x-4, 14 counters, 8 more counters

Step-by-step explanation:  There are 2x yellow, 4x+6 red, and 6x-10 blue counters. We need to add all of this up to get the total number of counters. We first add the x's : 2x+4x+6x = 12x. Then we add the numbers. 6+ (-10) is -4. So, our expression is 12x-4. Next, we need to find out how many blue counters are in the bag. We know that there are 44 total counters and we need to find x because all the counters have x in them. 12x-4 = 44. We first add 4 to both sides to get 12x= 48 and x = 4. blue has 6x-10 counters so, blue has 24-10 = 14 counters. Red has 16+6 = 22 counters. 22-14 = 8 more counters

Charlie's garage has a rectangular floor space. Its length is 3 times its width. Charlie extends the width of his garage to 6 m,
MAXImum [283]

Answer:

The percentage change is 140%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

L= 3W_1 ---- initial dimension

W_2 = 6m --- new width

A_2 = 45m^2 --- new dimension

Required

The percentage increment

The length remains constant because only the width is extended.

The new area is:

Area =Length * Width

A_2=L * W_2

Make L the subject

L = \frac{A_2}{ W_2}

Substitute values for A and W

L = \frac{45m^2}{6m}

L = \frac{45m}{6}

L = 7.5m --- this is the length of the garden

Calculate the initial width:

L= 3W_1

Make W1 the subject

W_1 = \frac{1}{3} * L

W_1 = \frac{1}{3} * 7.5

W_1 = 2.5

So, the initial area is:

A_1 = L_1 * W_1

A_1 = 2.5 * 7.5

A_1 = 18.75

The percentage change in area is:

\%A = \frac{A_2 - A_1}{A_1}

\%A = \frac{45 - 18.75}{18.75}

\%A = \frac{26.25}{18.75}

\%A = 1.4

Express as percentage

\%A = 1.4*100\%

\%A = 140\%
