The common factor of 45 and 6 is 3
The common factor of
m and m^5 is m
Together the GCF is 3m
Let x be the number.
"twelve decreased by twice a number" ---> 12 - 2x
"8 times the sum of number and 4" ---> 8(x + 4)
12 - 2x = 8(x + 4)
12 - 2x = 8x + 32 (distributive property)
12 = 10x + 32 (add 2x to both sides)
-20 = 10x (subtract 32 from both sides)
x = -2 (divide both sides by 10)
We know that the percentage amount of any number can be found by first converting the the given percentage to a fraction and then multiplying it by the given number. Thus, in our case, the exact value, that is 48% of 1165 can be calculated as follows:
We know that
Therefore, 48% of 1165 can be re-written as:
This can be calculated as [tex]0.48\times 1165=559.2[/tex
Therefore The exact value that is 48% of 1165 is 559.2
Since we know that he ate 1/4 pound one time, and 1/6 another time, we have to add up the fractions.
1/4+1/6
LCM of 4 and 6 = 12
3/12 + 2/12
Add the numerators:
5/12
So, he ate 5/12 of a pound of bars in both breaks.
Hope this helps!
Instead of adding 6 three times, you can multiply 6 by 3 and get 18, the same answer.
Similarly,
6 + 6 + 6 + 6 + 6 + 6 + 6 = 6 × 7 = 42
