First add all the watermelon weights together (to add the fourths and the eighths multiply the fourths by 2 (1/4x2=2/8) and add the numerators). Then multiply the number of people (153) by how much they each ate (1/4). Then subtract the total amount eaten (38 1/4) from the total weight (46 3/4) and compare that with 8 1/2... The left overs are actually equal to 8 1/2 pounds :)
Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
Product in maths means multiply, thus
× c ( when multiplying we can omit the sign )
= c → A
14 - 2n = -32
32 + 14 = 2n
46 = 2n
46/2 = n
23 = n
Checking:
14 - 2(23) = -32
14 - 46 = -32
-32 = -32 (Matched, answer is correct n = 23)
