Answer:
45 days
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Determine how long it will last</u>
(9 cups) * (5 days / cup)
45 days
Answer: 45 days
2/3 of a page in 5/12 of a minute
Multiply both fractions by 3/2
So,
Ethan can read 1 page in 5/8 of a minute.
1. 5/6
2. 2/3 x 5/6
3. 2/3 x 5/6 = 10/18
Multiply the numerators— 2 x 5 = 10
Multiply the denominators—3x 6= 18
4. 10/18 = 5/9
Find the greatest common factor of 10 and 18 which is 2.
Divide the numerator by 2– 10/2 = 5
Divide the denominator by 2– 18/2 = 9
I hope this helps!
Length: 2(x + 6); Width: 3.5x
A rectangle has 4 sides. 2 sides are lengths and 2 sides are widths.
The perimeter is the sum of the measures of all 4 sides.
perimeter = length + length + width + width
perimeter = 2(x + 6) + 2(x + 6) + 3.5x + 3.5x
Use the distributive property on 2(x + 6).
perimeter = 2x + 12 + 2x + 12 + 3.5x + 3.5x
Now let's group all terms with x first, then all the numbers.
perimeter = 2x + 2x + 3.5x + 3.5x + 12 + 12
Now we add like terms. Like terms have exactly the same variables and the same exponents. All terms with x are like terms and can be added together. All terms with no variable are like terms and can be added together.
perimeter = 11x + 24
11x and 24 are not like terms since 11x contains the variable x and 24 has no variable. Since 11x and 24 are not like terms, they cannot be added together. No more simplification can be done, and 11x + 24 is the answer.
Answer: 11x + 24
