You have to find a common denominator 1st then add. So 16 is the common denominator the problem should be 2 7/16+1 14/16+8-16= 3 29/16 then you need to divide 29/16 you will have 4 13/16

Answer:

Gina can ship all three books.        

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Gina wants to ship 3 books that weigh 2 7/16 pounds, 1 7/8 pounds and 1/2 pound. The maximum weight she can ship is 6 pounds.

To find : How much did Gina ship?

Solution :

First we convert the mixed fraction into simpler fraction,

First book weight 2\frac{7}{16}=\frac{39}{16} pounds.

Second book weight 1\frac{7}{8}=\frac{15}{8} pounds.

Third book weight \frac{1}{2} pounds.

Total weight of books Gina have,

T=\frac{39}{16}+\frac{15}{8}+\frac{1}{2}

T=\frac{39+30+8}{16}

T=\frac{77}{16}

T=4\frac{13}{16}

T=4.81

4.81<6 pounds.

Which means she can ship all 3 books.

Therefore, Gina can ship all three books.

Fifteen more than four times a number is equal to the difference between 191 and four times the number. Find the number.
Semenov [28]

Answer:

The number would be 22.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve for the number, we need to make both statements into numerical statements.

Fifteen more than four times a number = 15 + 4x

difference between 191 and four times the number = 191 - 4x

Now we set them equal to each other.

15 + 4x = 191 - 4x -----> Add 4x to each side

15 + 8x = 191 ------> Subtract 15 from both sides

8x = 176 -------> Divide by 8

x = 22
