Answer:
9 magazines
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this problem you will want to work backwards. Start with the junk mail. There is 18 junk mail and if there are 1/3 as many bills as junk mail then you will need to multiply 18 * 1/3. This equals 6 bills. If there is twice as many bills as letters then you will need to divide bills(6) by 2 which equals 3. If there are 6 more magazines than letters then you need to add 6 to the letters (3). 3 + 6 = 9
Answer:
1. D) 1 9/20
2. B) 7/12
4. D) $50.00
Step-by-step explanation:
The working is as follows :
1. Mrs. Lang bought 3/4 pound of red grapes and 7/10 pound of green grapes. To find out how many are in total we have to add both values total.
3/4 + 7/10
The LCM of 4 and 10 is 20.
3/4 * 5 = 15/20
7/10 * 2 = 14/20
15/20 + 14/20 = 29/20 = 1 9/20
2. 1/3 + 1/4
The LCM of 3 and 4 is 12
1/3 * 4 = 4/12
1/4 * 3 = 3/12
4/12 + 3/12 = 7/12
4. Sharon spent 2/3 of her clothing allowance; she was given $75. All we have to do is find 2/3 of $25 :
2/3 * $75 = $50.00
Answer:

Answer: 25%
Step-by-step explanation: The question tells us that the population decreases by 1/4 every single year. That means, since 1/4 equals .25, the population decreases by 25% every year :)
