B = bees, w = wasps, x = hornets
b + w + x = 184
b = 3x - 9
w = x + 28
(3x - 9) + (x + 28) + x = 184...combine like terms
5x + 19 = 184
5x = 184 - 19
5x = 165
x = 165/5
x = 33 <== points scored by Hornets
Answer:
There are 13 pieces of pie left.
Step-by-step explanation:
So there are 3 pieces of apple pie left, there are 4 pieces of cherry pie left, and there are 6 pieces of pumpkin pie left. 3 + 4 + 6 = 13.
3/8 = 3 pieces because each fraction in this one equals one piece. So the numerator is how many left.
1/2= 4 because you just divide 8 by 2.
3/4 = 2 because you can multiply the fraction by 2 and get 6/8. Then the numerator is how many that's left.
I hope I helped.
So first convert to improper fractions
7 and 7/8=7+7/8=56/8+7/8=63/8
3 and 1/4=3+1/4=12/4+1/4=13/4
so nowe we have
63/8+13/4
convert bottom number to same
which is 8
13/4 times 2/2=26/8
now we have
63/8-26/8=37/8=4 and 5/8
answer is 4 and 5/8
