Since 1/6 of the day was spent in the flower bed and 2/3 of that was spreading mulch, we need to find 2/3 of 1/6 to find out how much of the day was spreading the mulch.
In math "of" means times
"is" means equals
2/3 of 1/6 is
translates to
2/3 x 1/6 =
Now we just multiply the numerators across and denominators across then reduce if possible...
2/3 x 1/6 = 2/18
2 and 18 both divide by 2 so it reduces
2/18 = 1/9
Tom spent 1/9 of the day spreading mulch.
Step-by-step explanation:
subtract
i think this
3x - 10 < 2
3x < 2 + 10
3x < 12 Divide through by 3.
x < 12/3
x < 4
Answer:
= 43
Step-by-step explanation:
{7 ×
- 7} -2 ×3
Solve the brackets first
{7 × 8 - 7} -2 ×3
{56 - 7} -2 ×3
49 -2 ×3
49 -6
= 43
you are right
9514 1404 393
Answer:
20
Step-by-step explanation:
As with any evaluation problem, take it step by step according to the order of operations.
The first thing you need to do here is compute a#b.
The given definition can be simplified a bit for evaluation purposes:
a#b = a²b -ab² = ab(a -b)
Then for a=3 and b=-2, you have ...
(3)#(-2) = (3)(-2)(3 -(-2)) = -6(5) = -30
Now, you are in a position to evaluate the expression you're asked for.
