Hey there!
Let's first evaluate this problem, and the keyword we need to use. The problem says that out of the total number of bracelets Brianna has, x, 1/3 of them are pink. The reason the word of is so important throughout math is that it signifies multiplication. For example, 1/2 of 10 is 5 because 1/2 times 10 is 5.
Now, to apply that to this situation, we need to create an equation, a mathematical statement that indicated the equilibrium or equality of two values. Since we have 1/3 of all her bracelets, x is four, we can set up our equation. Here's another good keyword- is. Is signifies an equation, because it means "equal to" mathematically. For example, 5 is equal to 20/4.
We have:
1/3(x) = 4
(One-third of x, the total amount of bracelets, is four.)
We don't want that fraction there. In order to get rid of it and keep the expression equal, we multiply both sides by 3. We have,
x = 12
Hope this helps!
The answer to the question is 6 yards and 2 feet
Pretty sure it’s irrational
Answer:
D. No, the
should have canceled out in step 4 making the correct answer 5.5mm.
Step-by-step explanation:
All the steps that Arden took were correct up until the last step:
1. V = Bh ⇒ 88
=
*4^2 * h = 16
2. Divide by 16
from both sides: h = 88
/ 16
= 88/16 = 5.5
Arden forgot to cancel out the pi from both the numerator and denominator, so her answer should have been 5.5 mm, not 5.5
mm.
Thus, the answer is D.
Hope this helps!
