Answer:
60
Step-by-step explanation:
Let s represent the number of stickers Sophia has. Then the number Ethan has is (2/3)s. The transfer of 16 stickers can be described by the equation ...
(s -16)/(2/3s +16) = 1/2 . . . . . sophia/ethan = 1/2 after the transfer
2s -32 = 2/3s +16 . . . . . . . . .cross multiply
4/3s = 48 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . add 32-2/3s
s = (48)(3/4) = 36 . . . . . . . . .multiply by 3/4
Together, the total number of stickers held is s +(2/3)s = (5/3)s.
5/3s = (5/3)(36) = 60 . . . . . total of Sophia's and Ethan's stickers
Together, Sophia and Ethan have 60 stickers.
Since we must save 50 meals for volunteers, the real amount we are giving away is 700 meals in 12 hours.
700/12 = 58.3333...
10*58.333.. = 583.333....
Since we can't serve 1/3 of a person, we take 583. Hope this helps!
Answer:
They are hard and you Just have to follow the steps of solbing them
Step-by-step explanation:
It takes about 4 days for the temperature to decrease by 9°F.
An equation is an expression that shows the relationship between two or more variables or numbers.
Let x represent the number of days. Given that the temperature drop decreased by 1 1/2°F each day (- 1 1/2), for it to decrease by 9°F (-9):
-1 1/2 * x = -9
-1.5x = - 9
x = 4 days
It takes about 4 days for the temperature to decrease by 9°F.
