Answer:

Tom weighs 70 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

first, you have to set up your equation which would be, x + 3x = 280.

The x stands for Tom's weight and the 3x stands for three times Tom's weight for the dad. You would then add your like terms, then divide by 4 to get 70.

x + 3x = 280

4x = 280

280/4 = 70

x = 70

Hope this helps!

Write 3/5 as a division

ollegr [7]

Answer:

3/5 as a division is 0.6

Step-by-step explanation:

To write a fraction as a division, we basically divide the values, since the fraction represents a division.

In this question:

We want 3 divided by 5.

3 is less than 5, so we can multiply 3 by 10(getting 30), and adding a 0 to the quotient.

So now 0.(30/5) = 0.6, which means that 3/5 as a division is 0.6.

What is the area of a rectangle that has side lengths of 3/4 yard and 5/6 yard

Ahat [919]

We are asked to find the area of the rectangle that has side lengths of 3/4 yard and 5/6 yard.

We know that area of rectangle is width times length.

To find the area of the given rectangle we will multiply both side lengths as:

$\text{Area of rectangle}=\text{Width}\times \text{Length}$

$\text{Area of rectangle}=\frac{3}{4}\text{ yard}\times\frac{5}{6}\text{ yard}$

$\text{Area of rectangle}=\frac{3}{4}\times\frac{5}{6}\text{ yard}^2$

$\text{Area of rectangle}=\frac{1}{4}\times\frac{5}{2}\text{ yard}^2$

$\text{Area of rectangle}=\frac{1\times5}{4\times2}\text{ yard}^2$

$\text{Area of rectangle}=\frac{5}{8}\text{ yard}^2$

Therefore, the area of the given rectangle would be $\frac{5}{8}$ square yards.
