144+378+320=842 just add the total number of bikes he has in the store
The answer is 14 when rounded to the nearest whole number, to get this you simply must divide 43 by 3 which equals to 14.333.
To solve this problem, you will first want to convert 5 pounds into ounces. To do this, first determine how many ounces is in 1 pound.
There are 16 ounces in 1 pound, so to convert 5 pounds into ounces, you simply have to multiply 5 × 16. This will give you 80 ounces total.
Allie give 12 ounces away, so you must first subtract 12 ounces from your total (80 ounces). 80 - 12 gives us 68 ounces.
Allie then divides the trail mix up into 4 ounce portions. To figure out how many small bags she can make, you simply divide your new total (68 ounces) by 4.
68 ÷ 4 = 17
Allie made 17 small bags.
You can just plug in one of the points to each equation until you get an equality that is true.
I chose to use (-3,2)
1. 5x+3y=1
5(-3)+3(2)=1
(-15)+ 6 = 1
(-9) = 1 <<<(FALSE)
2. x+5y=3
(-3)+5(2)= 3
(-3)+10= 3
7=3 <<<(FALSE)
3. 3x+5y=1
3(-3) + 5(2)= 1
(-9)+10=1
1=1<<<(TRUE)
So, the correct equation is 3x+5y=1.
Make sense?
