The answer to this is 15 because you would multiply 5*3 to get you answer or you could do 5+5+5 either way it equals 15
The answer is negative three halves minus one fifth
Answer:
0.150 < (Proportion of Sandy's pie) < 0.167
15% < (Percentage of Sandy's pie) < 16.7%
Step-by-step explanation:
Total percentage of pie = 100% or 1
George, Sandy, Carlos, and Michelle all ate a piece of the pie.
George ate a fraction of 0.150
Michelle ate a fraction of (1/6) = 0.167
Carlos ate a fraction of (1/7) = 0.143
The amount of pie left = 1 - 0.15 - (1/6) - (1/7) = 0.5405
And Sandy is known to eat more than two of her friends, but less than one of them.
Of the amount of pie eaten by the first 3 friends, (1/6) is the highest proportion.
Hence, it is evident that Sandy ate more than 0.143 and 0.150 (Carlos and George) but less than Michelle (0.167).
So, mathematically, the possible proportion of cake that Sandy ate is
0.150 < (Proportion of Sandy's pie) < 0.167

1) Write this as a ratio...
77.5 miles / 3.1 gallons = x miles / 8.2 gallons
Solve for x... multiply by 8.2 gallons on both sides (that cancels it on the right) side of the equation.
8.2 gallons * 77.5 miles / 3.1 gallons = x
635.5/ 3.1 = x
211.83 miles = x
Justin travels 211.83 miles on 8.2 gallons of gas
2) If we let boys = b, then girls has to be b + 15 (since there are 15 more girls than boys). Now together there are 85 members of the band so... boys + girls = 85 and since girls is b + 15, then...
b + b+15 = 85
Now solve for b. First combine like terms...
2b + 15 = 85
Now subtract 15 from each side (cancels the 15 on the left)
2b + 15 - 15 = 85 - 15
2b = 70
Now divide each side by 2 (cancels 2 on the left)
2b / 2 = 70 / 2
b = 35
So there are 35 boys in the band.
Just FYI, that also means there are 35+15 = 50 girls. Just so happens that 50 + 35 = 85 so our work checks!
