total weight of both bags = 3 oz + 20.6m oz
Don's bag = 2 oz
Jamie's bag = 1 oz
Don's marbles = 9.4 oz * m
Jamie's marlbes = 11.2 oz * m
Total weight of Don's bag = 2 oz + 9.4m oz
Total weight of Jamie's bag = 1 oz + 11.2m oz
2 oz + 9.4m oz + 1 oz + 11.2m oz = 3 oz + 20.6m oz
The change of base formula looks like this:
log x
(log to the base b of ) x = ----------- (you could also use ln instead of log)
log b
log 40 1.602
Then (log to the base 7 of) 40 = ------------ = ------------- = 1.896 (answer)
log 7 0.8451
check (on calculator): 7^1.896 = 40.023 (close enough to 40 to verify
that this method "worked")
6.11 miles is Emily’s Distance amount
