Answer:

Let x = the number or green sweets

Let x + 8 = the number of red sweets

5x = 3(x + 8)

5x = 3x + 24

2x = 24

A piece of pipe is 303/4 inches long. If five pieces, each 41/3 inches long, are cut from the pipe, how many inches of pipe rema

galina1969 [7]

So, what is the total lenght of the pieces that wer cut off?

we multiply the lenght by the number:

4 $\frac{1}{3}$ *5=20+ $\frac{5}{3}$ =21 $\frac{2}{3}$

and we subtract this from the original pipe, that is

30 $\frac{3}{4}$ -21 $\frac{2}{3}$

we need to bring the two fractions to the same denominator (by multiplying the fraction art in the first by 3 and 4 the second):

30 $\frac{9}{12}$ -21 $\frac{8}{12}$ =9 $\frac{1}{12}$

so the correct answer is D!
