2/5 of 20 = 8. 

3/10 of 20= 6. 

8+6=14. So 20-14= 6

She needs 14 pints, so you subtract 6 from that. Your final answer should be 8 pints.

Mathilda would need to buy 8 more pints of green paint

Further Explanation:

The given question is a typical number problem, and it deals with fractions and whole numbers. In order to derive solutions to numbers problem like the one given, some order of operations i.e. BODMAS would be used. BODMAS is an acronym of Bracket, Of, Division, Multiplication, Addition, Subtraction. The below given explanation would involve the use of BODMAS.

Solution:  

Total amount of pints she has = 20 pints

Amount she used to paint a landscape =

2/5 x 20 = 20 x 2 ÷ 5

  = 40 ÷ 5  

  = 8

Amount she used to paint a clover =

3/10 x 20 = 20 x 3 ÷ 10

    = 60 ÷ 10

    = 6

Total amount of used pints of green paint =

Amount she used to paint a landscape + Amount she used to paint a clover =

   = 8 + 6

   = 14

Remainder of pints =

Total amount of pints she has – Total amount of used pints of green paint =

   = 20 – 14  

   = 6  

Determining how much pints she will buy for her next painting:

For her next painting, she needs 14 pints

Her remainder = 6  pints

To derive how much pints she needs to buy, 6 pints would subtracted from 14 pints

  = 14 – 6  

  = 8

Therefore, the total amount of more pints she will buy for next painting = 8

Allan paid $340 to have his car fixed at an auto-repair shop.
Gala2k [10]

Answer:

5 Hours

Step-by-step explanation:

340 = 215 + 25x

DO INVERSE OPERATIONS ~ MINUS BOTH SIDES OF THE = SIGN

340 - 215 = 125

215 - 215 = 0

125 = 25x

DIVIDE BOTH SIDE NOW

125 / 25 = 5

25x / 25 = 1 = x

The table shows a proportional relationship between the number of stars Roberto collects in a game and his total points. A row o
maks197457 [2]

Answer:

1) 20 stars; 30 points.

2) 28 stars, 42 points.

3) 38 stars, 57 points.

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3> The missing table is attached.</h3>

Let  be "x" the numbers of stars Roberto collects and "y" his total points.

The proportional relationship has this form:

y=kx

Where "k" is the constant of proportionality.

We can choose the point (8,12) from the table, where:

x=8\\y=12

Substituting these values into  y=kx and solving for "k", we get:

 12=k(8)\\\\\frac{12}{8}=k\\\\k=1.5

Knowing the value of "k", we determine that the  following Numbers of stars and the Total points could be used as the missing values in the table:

1) For x=20 :

y=(1.5)(20)=30

2) For x=28 :

y=(1.5)(28)=42

3) For x=38 :

y=(1.5)(38)=57

Lydia has half of her investments in stock paying an 11% dividend and the other half in a stock paying 14% interest. If her tota
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Based on the calculations, the amount of money she invested is equal to $3,520.

<h3>How to determine the amount invested?</h3>

First of all, we would assign variables to the amount of money that he invested at different interest rates as follows:

  • Let x be the amount of money she invested at 11%.
  • Let y be the amount of money she invested at 14%.

Since Lydia invested the same amount of money in both stocks, we have:

x = y     ....equation 1.

At the two interest rates, the total amount Lydia gets is given by:

0.11x + 0.14y = 440     ....equation 2.

Solving the equations simultaneously, we have:

0.11y + 0.14y = 440

0.25y = 440

y = 440/0.25

y = $1,760.

Thus, the total investment is given by:

Total investment = 1760 + 1760

Total investment = $3,520.
