The answer is 40 thousands
Let's focus on 0.7*0.8 for now.
Start by drawing a large square. Cut this figure into 10 rows and 10 columns. So this means you'll have 10*10 = 100 little squares.
Now highlight the first 7 rows. Shade in all 70 squares (7*10 = 70)
Starting on the left side, highlight the first 8 columns. You'll shade in 80 squares (8*10 = 80)
Use different colors for your highlighting or somehow indicate different shading styles. This way you can see the overlapping region. The overlapping region consists of 56 squares (7 rows, 8 columns ---> 7*8 = 56 little squares)
Each little square represents 0.01, so having 56 of them means we have 0.56
This shows that 0.7*0.8 = 0.56
-----------------------------------------------------------
How is this different if we had 1.7*0.8? Well we can break 1.7 into 1+0.7 to have
1.7*0.8 = (1+0.7)*0.8
1.7*0.8 = (1)*0.8+(0.7)*0.8
1.7*0.8 = (1*0.8)+(0.7*0.8)
The portion (0.7*0.8) was done earlier. That result was 0.56. So we just need to compute (1*0.8), which is simply 0.8; recall that 1 times any number is that number itself.
Now simply add 0.8 to 0.56 to get 1.36
So, 1.7*0.8 = 1.36
Answer:
y=mx+c
We have to find the value of m and c.
Let's substitute the value of x and y from the table.
When x=1, y=15,
15= m(1)+c
m +c= 15 ------(1)
Now substitute another set of x and y values.
When x=2, y=24,
24= m(2)+c
2m +c= 24
c= 24 -2m ------(2)
Let me rewrite the two equations so that it is clearer for you to see.
m + c= 15 -----(1)
c = 24 -2m -----(2)
subst. (2) into (1):
m+ 24-2m= 15
-m= 15-24 (bring constants to 1 side, m terms to the other)
-m= -9 (simplify)
m= 9 ( divide by -1 throughout)
subst. m=9 into (2):
c= 24 -2(9)
c= 24-18
c= 6
Thus, the equation is y=9x+6.
When the cat is 3 years old, x=3.
When x=3,
y= 9(3)+6
y= 33.
Hence, the cat is 33 years old in human years.
Answer:
x = 2/3
Step-by-step explanation:
combine -3 and 1. We get -2 there, and now have:
-2 + 10x = x + 4.
Combining the x terms, we get 9x = 6, so that x = 6/9, or x = 2/3
