Answer: You multiply 8 x 3/4=24/4. Then you simplify your answer and it is 6 hours. 24/4 is division 24 divided by 4 equals 6.
Step-by-step explanation: Or, you can change 3/4 to a decimal which is .75. Then you multiply .75 x 8 and the answer is 6.00 which is 6 hours because you do not use the zeros after the decimal point.
Answer: B (104.50)
explanation: 5.5*3=16.5
5.5*9=49.5
5.5*7=38.5
16.5, 49.5, and 38.5 added all together is 104.5 or $104.50
Answer:
7 6/18
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
17, 19 and 21
Step-by-step explanation:
Consecutive odd numbers mean odd numbers that are right next to each other.
Eg: 3, 5, 7
Let x represent the youngest sister. The sister older than her will be 2 years older than her, hence (2 + x). The oldest sister would be 4 years older than the youngest and two years older than the middle sister, hence (4 + x).
The sum of their age = 57.
Hence:
x + (2 + x) + (4 + x) = 57
x + 2 + x + 4 + x = 57
Simplify
3x + 6 = 57
Rearrange
3x = 57 - 6
3x = 51
Divide both sides by 3 to make x on its own (this way we can find the age of the youngest sister).
x = 17 (youngest sister is 17 years old)
x + 2 = 19 (middle sister is 19 years old)
x + 4 = 21 (oldest sister is 21 years old)
