Absolute value<span> describes the distance of a </span>number<span> on the </span>number<span> line from 0 without considering which direction from zero the </span>number<span> lies. This pretty much means that absolute value is a distance, and there is no such thing as a negative distance.</span>

Lynn has a box of crayons.
Scrat [10]

Answer:

<em>There are 72 crayons in the box</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Fractions</u>

To solve this problem we'll manage numbers as fractions to keep the precision up to the end of it.

Lynn has a box of crayons. It's given 4/9 of the crayons are blue. The remaining crayons are:

1-\frac{4}{9}=\frac{5}{9}

From that portion, 65% are red, or equivalently, 35% are yellow.

We write 35% as a fraction:

\displaystyle 35\%=\frac{35}{100}=\frac{7}{20}

Thus, the portion of yellow crayons is:

\displaystyle \frac{7}{20}\cdot \frac{5}{9}=\frac{7}{36}

This fraction of x crayons is equal to 14, thus:

\displaystyle x=\frac{14}{\frac{7}{36}}=14\cdot\frac{36}{7}

x = 72

There are 72 crayons in the box

A rectangular flower bed that is 5 ft long and 4 feet wide is surrounded by a square lawn that is
mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

124 ft2

Step-by-step explanation:

The yard is a 12ft square so the length and width would both be 12ft. You multiply the length and width of the yard to get the area of the yard so 12x12=144. You have the length and width of the flower bed so 5x4=20. Once you have the area of both you can subtract the area the flower bed takes up of the lawn. 144-20=124 ft2.
