Use the percent proportion
21 x
—— = ——
100 300
to solve :
21 x 300 = 6300
6300 ÷ 100 = 63
Answer = 63 of Elmer’s shells are fossilized snail shells :)
Answer:
10 = 2y + 4
6 = 2y
y = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
18 = 10 + 2x
8 = 2x
x = 4
2 7/12 hours
X=101/2 - ( 3+4+1/4+2/3)
X=101/2 - 7 + (1/4+2/3)
1/4+2/3= 11/12
101/2 - 7 =3 1/5
X = 3 1/5 - 11/12 = 2 7/12
Keep the denominators the same and subtract the numerators. So for example in your example:
7/8 - 3/8
Leave the 8 alone. Subtract 3 from 7.
7 - 3 = 4
So answer is:
4/8
Sometimes they may have to simplify the answer, and in this case, 4/8 could be simplified to 1/2
