Answer:
64 cherries
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that
There are 280 pieces of fruit in a fruit salad
There are twice as many raspberries as blueberries,
three times as many grapes as cherries,
and four times as many cherries as raspberries
We need to find out the number of cherries in the fruit salad
So,
Let us assume the blueberries be x
So, the raspberries be 2x
Cherries be 8x
And, grapes be 24x
Now
x + 2x + 24x + 8x = 280
35x = 280
x = 8
hence, the No of cherries in the salad
= 8 x
= 8(8)
= 64 cherries
The commutatice property for addition says a+b=b+a
If it was for subtraction, then it would be a-b=b-a
Take a=7 and b=5
7-5 is not equal to 5-7
2 is not equal to -2
So subtraction is not commutative for whole numbers.
Hope this helps :)
<span>-24=2(x-4)
Use distributive property
-24=2x-8
Add 8 to both sides
-16=2x
Divide 2 on both sides
Final Answer: -8=x</span>
Using an online calculator, you can determine that the missing factor is:
(3x - 1)
Yea. The text book is either wrong or it knows something that we don't. Like as to why they would need to have two more feet. You're right though
