Answer:

32

Step-by-step explanation:

Well, if you have a calculator, you can simply input 16 divided by .5.

If you don't have a calculator, you can remember that anything divided by .5 is equal to multiplying it by 2.

.5x = 16\\\\\frac{1}{2} x = 16\\\\

Find the reciprocal

\frac{2}{1} * \frac{1}{2}x = 16 * \frac{2}{1}

Now we just multiply everything together.

x = \frac{16}{1} *\frac{2}{1} \\\\x = 32

slamgirl [31]

Answer:

13

Step-by-step explanation:

there is a rule that says that if you add any 2 sides, it should be more than the third. 9+21 is greater than 13. 21+13 is greater than 9. 13 is the only number which if you add 9 to it it will be greater than 21. 12 will equal 21, but it still wont work.

hope this helps :))

Casey has 8 1 2 yards of fabric. She uses 2 1 2 yards to make pillows and 3 yards to make curtains. How much fabric is remaining
ra1l [238]

Let

x-------> yards of fabric used to make pillows

y-------> yards of fabric used to make curtains

T------> total yards of fabric

R-------> remaining yards of fabric

we know that

R=T-(x+y)

we have

T=8\frac{1}{2}\ yards\\\\ x= 2\frac{1}{2}\ yards\\ \\y=3\ yards

substitute in the formula above

R=8\frac{1}{2}-(2\frac{1}{2}+3)

R=8\frac{1}{2}-(5\frac{1}{2})

R=3\ yards

therefore

<u>the answer is</u>

the remaining of fabric is 3\ yards
