Answer:
50 lbs.
Step-by-step explanation:
X time 0.8 (or 80 percent)= 15
so 15/0.8=X
18.75
The ages are consecutive even numbers.
The youngest child is (x+3) years old.
Every even number is 2 more than the one before it.
So the three ages are
(x + 3), (x + 5), and (x + 7).
Their sum is x+3 + x+5 + x+7 = 3x + 15
But we're told that their sum is 42, so we can write
3x + 15 = 42 <== the equation
Subtract 15 from each side: 3x = 27
Divide each side by 3 : x = 9 <== the solution
So the three ages are 12, 14, and 16.
The oldest child is 16 years old.
Answer:
3 1/4 + 2 1/3 = 67 / 12 = 57 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
Conversion a mixed number to a improper fraction: 3 1/4 = 3 · 4 + 1
4
= 13
4
Conversion a mixed number to a improper fraction: 2 1/3 = 2 · 3 + 1
3
= 7

+ 7
3
= 13 · 3
4 · 3
+ 7 · 4
3 · 4
= 39
12
+ 28

Answer:
8,566,379,470 people
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's start simple. In order to find the population increase on January 1, 2006, we need to multiply 6,486,915,022 by 1.4% and add it to 6,486,915,022.
- 6,486,915,022*1.4% = 90,816,810.308
- 90,816,810.308+6,486,915,022 = 6,577,731,832.31 people on January 2006.
Note that the above two steps gives the same answer as 6,486,915,022*1.014.
So we need to do this for each year. 20 years pass between 1/1/2005 and 1/1/2025.
We need to do 6,486,915,022*1.014*1.014*1.014... 20 times.
This is equivalent to 
.
Multiplying it out gives us 8566379470.2 = 8,566,379,470 people.
