Here are the step for solving this:
1. 3y + 5 > 23
-5 -5
3y/3 > 18/3
y > 6
In words what you are doing is getting y by itself on one side. Subtract the 5 to undo the adding of 5 first. Then, divide both sides by 3.
The sand makes up a rectangular prism of dimensions 8' by 10' by 0.5'.
The volume of sand is then V = L*W*H, or V = (10')(8')(0.5') = 40 cubic ft.
Answer:
I believe it's 192
Step-by-step explanation:
Factorize the numerator and denominator, then simplify:
10/45 = (2×5)/(9×5) = 2/9
Now,
1/9 = 1/10 + 1/90
1/90 = 1/10 × 1/9 = 1/10 × (1/10 + 1/90) = 1/100 + 1/900
1/900 = 1/100 × 1/9 = 1/100 × (1/10 + 1/90) = 1/1000 + 1/9000
and so on, which is to say
1/9 = 1/10 + 1/100 + 1/1000 + …
or
1/9 = 0.111…
so that multiplying both sides by 2 gives
2/9 = 0.222…
