Answer:
the cat weighs 21 pounds.
the dog weighs 43 pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
dog = 3x-20 = x + 22
cat = x
3x-20 = x+22
3x = x+42 (add 20 to both sides)
2x = 42 (subtract x from both sides)
x = 21
Answer:
$1.95 or 2. According to your refrences.
Step-by-step explanation:
Writing this problem in symbols instead of in words greatly simplifies it:
(2 2/3) * (1 1/5) * (1 1/2)
Write each quantity (inside each set of parentheses) as an improper fraction:
(8/3) * (6/5) * (3/2)
Now multiply the numerators thru: 8*6*3 / 3*5*2
Notice that we can reduce this by dividing the 8 by the 2 and dividing the 6 by the 3: 4*3*3 36
---------- = -----------
5 5
4m + 90 = ≥ 350
350 - 90 = 260 ÷ 4 = 65
It will take at least 65 minutes for Jeremiah to complete the task.
Replace the variable with 65 to double check.
4 (65) + 90 = 350
Let's label the original price of the dress as x. We know that

so that means that we can find x by dividing both sides by 5/8:

A simple rule for dividing fractions is 'Keep Change Flip'. You keep the first number/fraction the same, you change the ÷ to a × and you flip the second fraction. Through this rule, we can now solve the equation much more easily:

Therefore, the original price of the dress was $48
