Answer:

2\frac{2}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the information

  • 4 containers of 4 different colors
  • 1/3 of each color left over
  • She had planted more than 2 1/2 of the original 4 containers

=> Total color were left = 1/3 x 4 = 4/3 of the original containers

=> Total color  were planted = (1 - 1/3) x 4 = 2/3 x 4 = 8/3 of the original containers

However,  8/3 = 2\frac{2}{3}  > 2\frac{1}{2}  

So she is true, hence, the fractions to determine the total amount of containers of flowers she planted is:  2\frac{2}{3}

Hope it will find you well

L=a+(n-1)d <br><br> solve for n
earnstyle [38]

Answer:

(L-a)/d + 1 = n

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's isolate (n-1), and after that isolate n:

1) subtract a from both sides:  L - a = (n-1)d

2) Divide both sides by d:  (L-a)/d = n-1

3) Add 1 to both sides, to isolate n:            (L-a)/d + 1 = n

Amanda spent a total of 70 minutes competing her chores this week. Write and solve an equation to represent the number of minute
gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

28 minutes spent in washing the dishes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the table

Chore             time in minutes

Sweeping           42

Dishes                  ?

Amanda spent a total of 70 minutes competing her chores this week

Total of 70 minutes spent

42 minutes spent in sweeping . to find the number of minutes Amanda spent in washing the dishes , subtract 42 minutes from the total time spent

let x be the number of minutes spent washing the dishes

42+x=70

To solve for x , subtract 42 from both sides

42+x=70\\x= 70-42\\x=28

28 minutes spent in washing the dishes.

Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

8)  Onaje is correct

9a) answers could be:  3(6y) or 4y + 6y + 8y  or 2(2y + 3y + 4y)

 b) all answers simplify to be 18y

Step-by-step explanation:

Paula is not correct because 16t + 9t ≠ 16 + 9 + 2t

16t + 9t only equals 25t

The children from a football club are put into rows in the sports hall. When put into rows of 9 children, there are 2 children l
g100num [7]

We are told that the children from a football club are put into rows in the sports hall. When put into rows of 9 children there are 2 children left over. When put into rows of 12 children there are 2 children left over.

We will find least number of children in football club by finding LCM of 9 and 12.

Multiples of 9 are: 9, 18, 27, 36, 45, 54, 63,...

Multiples of 12 are: 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72, 84,...

We can see that least common multiple of 9 and 12 is 36.

We are told that 2 children left over from putting them into 9 and 12 children per row. To find least number we will add 2 to 36.

9\cdot4+2=36+2=38

12\cdot3+2=36+2=38      

\text{Least number of children in football club}=36+2=38

Therefore, the least number of children in the football club is 38.
