Answer:

  less than 1 1/2 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

1/3 + 1/6 = 1/2, so the sum of the three cans is more than 1 by the difference between 1/5 and 1/6. That difference is 1/30 gallon. The sum is 1 1/30 gallons, which is less than 1 1/2 gallons.

__

A suitable common denominator is 2·3·5 = 30. Then the sum of the fractions is ...

  1/3 + 1/5 + 1/2

  = 10/30 + 6/30 + 15/30

  = 31/30 = 1 1/30 . . . . . less than 1 1/2

In decimal, 1/3 ≈ 0.333, 1/5 = 0.200, 1/2 = 0.500, so the sum is ...

  0.333 +0.200 +0.500 = 1.033

which is less than 1.5.

Answer:

  • 134 soda
  • 84 hot dogs

Step-by-step explanation:

Let s represent the number of sodas sold. Then the number of hot dogs sold is (s-50) and the total is ...

  s +(s -50) = 218

  2s = 268 . . . . . . . . . add 50

  s = 134 . . . . . . . divide by 2

134 sodas were sold; 84 hot dogs were sold.

What is the width of a box when the length is x+2, the height is x+8, and the volume is x^3+9x^2+6x-16?
Nostrana [21]

(x+2)(x+8) = x^2 +10x +16

(x^2 + 10x + 16)(x-1) = x^3+9x^2+6x-16, so the other dimension is x-1
