Answer:
24
Step-by-step explanation:
because it's just a addition so my answer must be right and it's not wrong I swear to God
So let’s imagine this on a number line…so we know that the fish starts at -17 1/3 on the number line but he dives (that means go lower in our number line) 6 1/2 feet downward so let’s set up an equation:
-17 1/3 - 6 1/2
Now, let’s subtract the two integers by finding the least common denominator of 2 and 3 so it can be easier to solve in this case it’s 6…then let’s set up our new equation:
-17 2/6 - 6 3/6
We know it’s a negative number since we are subtracting a negative number and our final answer is -23 5/6
Step-by-step explanation:
1) Write this as a ratio...
77.5 miles / 3.1 gallons = x miles / 8.2 gallons
Solve for x... multiply by 8.2 gallons on both sides (that cancels it on the right) side of the equation.
8.2 gallons * 77.5 miles / 3.1 gallons = x
635.5/ 3.1 = x
211.83 miles = x
Justin travels 211.83 miles on 8.2 gallons of gas
2) If we let boys = b, then girls has to be b + 15 (since there are 15 more girls than boys). Now together there are 85 members of the band so... boys + girls = 85 and since girls is b + 15, then...
b + b+15 = 85
Now solve for b. First combine like terms...
2b + 15 = 85
Now subtract 15 from each side (cancels the 15 on the left)
2b + 15 - 15 = 85 - 15
2b = 70
Now divide each side by 2 (cancels 2 on the left)
2b / 2 = 70 / 2
b = 35
So there are 35 boys in the band.
Just FYI, that also means there are 35+15 = 50 girls. Just so happens that 50 + 35 = 85 so our work checks!
