Answer:
convert 3 1/3 to an improper fraction
3*3 = 9
9+1 = 10
10/3
multiply the numerator by 4
(10/3) * 4 = 40/3
40/3 = 13 1/3
The total price that Peter paid for the local parcel = $2.07
The rate per ounce at that time was = $0.23/ounce
Total weight of Peter's package = Total price paid by peter/ rate per ounce
Total weight of Peter's package = $2.07/$0.23 per ounce
We now have to divide 2.07/0.23 = 207/23 (Shifting both numerator and denominator by 2 decimal places) = 9
Total weight of Peter's package = 9 ounces
Hey there! I'm happy to help!
Here is our equation
3x - 4 (2x - 5) = 15
First, we will sue the distributive property to remove the parentheses. The term outside the parentheses is -4, so that is what we multiply the insides by.
3x-8x+20=15
We combine our like terms (our x-values).
-5x+20=15
We subtract 20 from both sides.
-5x=-5
We divide both sides by -5.
x=1
Have a wonderful day and keep on learning! :D
