Answer:
72
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of candies = n
Tracy ate = 1/3 of n = n/3 remaining 2n / 3
she gave 1/4 of the remainder to her friend = 1/4 of ( n - n/3) = 2n / 12
the new remainder = (2n / 3) - (2n / 12) = n /2
she and her mom then ate altogether = 30
and the brother took from 1 to five, the number he took = x
and she has 3 left
( n/2) - 30 - x = 3
n = 2 ( 33 + x)
now we know that the candies could not be broken and x is between 1 to 5
n = 2 (33 + 1), 2 (33+2), 2(33 +3), 2 (33+ 4) and 2 (33 + 5) this are the possible values of n, ( 68, 70, 72, 74, 76) and the multiple of 3 is 72
n therefore = 72
Answer:D
Step-by-step explanation:
.708333... so about .71
14+23+14=51
51 divided by 72=~.71
Answer:
24
Step-by-step explanation:
The numerator of the equivalent fraction of 3/8 is 9. From this, we can see that the common factor that is being multiplied is 3. So the denominator, 8, has to be multiplied by 3 as well which gives you 24. 9/24 is an equivalent fraction of 3/8
Example: Set up proportions.
3/4 cups → 1 batch
x cups → 2 batches
x = 2(3/4) = 6/4 = 1 1/2 cups
3/4 cups → 1 batch
y cups → 9 batches
y = 9(3/4) = 6 3/4 cups
