An area of 3.5m² is the same as 350000mm². True or false. Justify your answer

Vsevolod [243]

No, because to convert meter to millimeter you'll have to multiply the length value by 1000 which will give you 3500.

3.5 × 1000

= 3500.

3z-4=6z-17 how do solve

Maru [420]

3z-4=6z-17
-3z-4=-17 (subtracted the 6z from both sides)
-3z=-13 (added the 4 to both sides)
z= $\frac{-13}{-3z}$ (divided both sides by -3z)
z= $\frac{13}{3}$

So, Mr Yeo has 32 litres of water to begin, by taking away the 3/8 (12 litres) you get 20 litres, dividing that by 4 gives you 5litres.

Your answer is then 5 Litres
