Mikel carried the ball 4 1/2 yards. Fred carried the ball twice as far. How far did Fred carry the ball?

1 answer:

8 0

Mikel carried the ball 4 1/2 yards. Let’s convert this: 9/2 yards (4*2+1), and if Fred carried it twice as far, that means he carried it 2 times 9/2. We know that 9/2 (or 4.5) * 2 is 9, so he carried it 9 yards.

Ricardo lost 6 golf balls while playing yesterday he bought a box of twelve golf balls and lost 4 on the course today he now has

16 balls.

Let's call x the total number of golf balls that Ricardo had before he lost the first 6 balls. (x - 6).
Then he bought 12 more and lost 4 so basically 12 - 4 = 8
Add that to the equation: (x-6) + 8
And now that he has 18 golf balls at end of the second day the total must add to 18.

Full equation: (x-6) + 8 = 18

(x-6) + 8 = 18
(x-6) = 18 - 8 <-- Transpose
(x-6) = 10
16 - 6 = 10 <-- What would x have to be inoder to make this equation true? 16!
So x = 16

16 is the number of golf balls the Ricardo began with.

Answer:

A. 30 adults; B. 24 not dolls

Step-by-step explanation:

$\begin{array}{rcl}\text{No. of adults} & = & \text{No. of visitors} \times \text{Fraction who are adults}\\& = & \text{100 visitors} \times \dfrac{\text{3 adults}}{\text{10 visitors}} \\& = & \textbf{30 adults}\\\end{array}$

If five-eighths of the prizes were dolls, then three-eighths of the prizes were not dolls.

$\begin{array}{rcl}\text{No. not dolls} & = & \text{No. of prizes} \times \text{Fraction not dolls}\\& = & \text{64 prizes} \times \dfrac{\text{3 not dolls}}{\text{8 prizes}} \\& = & \textbf{24 not dolls}\\\end{array}$

Solve the incomplete quadratic equation:

$\mathsf{3m^2-24m=0}\\\\ \mathsf{3m\cdot m-3m\cdot 8=0}\\\\ \mathsf{3m\cdot (m-8)=0}\\\\ \begin{array}{rcl} \mathsf{3m=0}&~\textsf{ or }~&\mathsf{m-8=0}\\\\ \mathsf{m=0}&~\textsf{ or }~&\mathsf{m=8} \end{array}$

Solution set: S = {0, 8}.

I hope this helps. =)
