Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
if you know 50*4=200, you must also know that 50*10=500 and that 4*100=400 so 500*400= 50*10*4*100
multiplication is comutative so
50*4*10*100=200*1,000= 200, 000

Answer:
x = 13
Step-by-step explanation:
call the missing number x
8 - x = - 5 Subtract 8 from both sides
8-8 - x = -5-8 Combine
-x = - 13 Multiply by -1
x = 13
With amounts measured in gallons, let
x = amount of 65% antifreeze
y = amount of 90% antifreeze
1 gal of the 65% brand contains 0.65 gal of pure antifreeze; x gal would contain 0.65x gal. Similarly, y gal of the 90% brand contains 0.90y gal of pure antifreeze.
To obtain 120 gal of 80% antifreeze solution (which contains 0.80•120 = 96 gal of pure antifreeze), we must have
x + y = 120 … … … … … [total volume of antifreeze solution]
0.65x + 0.90y = 96 … [total volume of pure antifreeze]
Solve the first equation for y :
y = 120 - x
Substitute this into the second equation and solve for x :
0.65x + 0.90 (120 - x) = 96
0.65x + 108 - 0.90x = 96
0.25x = 12
x = 48
Solve for y :
y = 120 - 48
y = 72
