The park's estimated squirrel population is 100 squirrels.
Answer
Burger meal = $8 and Hot dog meal = $6
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's use "x" to represent burger meals and "y" to represent hot dog meals.
Garcia family:
3x + 4y = $48
Baker family:
6x + 2y = $60
We have to first compare both families' and then eliminate one of our common variables, either the "x" or "y".
3x + 4y = $48
6x + 2y = $60
Let's eliminate "x". To do this we can multiply "3x" by "-2" to get "-6x". This will cancel out "6x":
-2 (3x + 4y = $48) ...our new equation would be....
-6x - 8y = -$96
Now to add our two families' equations together...
-6x - 8y = -$96
+
6x + 2y = $60
=
- 6y = -$36
Divide both sides by "-6" to get "y" by itself.
y = $6
We now know the value of "y" <em>or </em>one hot dog meal. Next, we want to solve for "x", our variable for the hamburger meal... We will plug in our y value to help us...
3x + 4(6) = $48
3x + 24 = $48
We want to get our x by itself. First, we can subtract 24 from each side.
3x = $24
Then we will divided both sides by 3 to get x alone.
x = $8
To check our work we can plug in our values for both "x" and "y" to see if they add up to $48 and $60:
3(8) + 4(6) = $48
24 + 24 = $48
and...
6(8) + 2(6) = $60
48 + 12 = $60
Answer:
0.75 or 3/4
Step-by-step explanation:
1/4 of 3 would still end up to be 3/4 or as a decimal it would be .75
When you are multiplying an exponent directly into a number/variable with an exponent, you multiply the exponents together.
For example:
When you are multiplying a variable with an exponent by another variable with an exponent, you add the exponents together.
For example:
You multiply 3 into each exponent in the numerator and the denominator
When you have a negative exponent, you move it to the other side of the fraction to make the exponent positive.
When you have something like this:
You subtract the exponents together, so:
Your answer is the second option
