Given that Allison’s dog is 6 pounds more than 5 times the weight of Gail’s dog, it is important to know the following:
1. The word "more" indicates an Addition.
2. The word "times" indicates Multiplication.
Knowing this, you can write the following expression to represent "5 times the weight of Gail’s dog", where "g" is the weight of Gail’s dog:
Therefore, you can determine that the weight of Allison's dog (in pounds) is the sum of 6 pounds and 5 times the weight of Gail's dog (in pounds). Then, you can represent this with this algebraic expression:
Hence, the answer is:
Let's put it this way.
It's a ratio of 6:72 and we need to change it in a way to find number of rooms cleaned in 9 days.
Divide 6 & 72 both by 2
Ratio is now 3:36
Multiply 3 & 36 both by 3
Ratio is now 9:108
The number of rooms in which Robin can clean in 9 days is 108 rooms.
Lets do this week by week
beginning pressure 45 pounds
end of week 1
45 *.06 = 2.7
45 - 2.7 = 42.3
end of week 2
42.3 * .06 = 2.538
42.3 - 2.538 = 39.762
end of week 3
39.762 *.06 = 2.38
39.762 - 2.38 = 37.37
end of week 4
37.37* .06 = 2.2425
37.37628 - 2.2425= 35.12
end of week 5
35.12 * .06 = 2.107
35.12 - 2.107 = 33.012
end of week 6
33.012* .06 = 1.98
33.012 - 1.98 =31.03
Here is the fast way to get to this answer.
do 1-.06 = .94
then do
45(.94)(.94)(.94)(.94)(.94)(.94) = 31.04
