Equation: x+2x+(2x+8)=148
Solve for x: 5x+8=148
5x=140
x=28
Plug back into original equation to find the other two amounts:
28+2(28)+[2(28)+8]=148
Cecilia = 28, Oscar = 56, Tasha = 64
Check: 28+56+64= 148
148=148
The solutions work
Cecilia has 28 fish, Oscar has 56 fish, and Tasha has 64 fish
Answer:
10 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
We need to convert 1 3/4 to an improper fraction
1 3/4 = (4*1+3)/4 = 7/4
Multiply this by the number of batches
7/4*6 = 42/4 = 21/2
Change this back to a mixed number
2 goes into 21 10 times with 1 left over
10 1/2
The sum of the interior angles of a polygon is (n-2)*180, n being the number of sides.
a nonagon has nine sides, so the total of interior angles is (9-2)*180=7*180
this is a regular nonagon, so each interior angle has the same degrees:
7*180/9=7*20=140
the exterior angle=180-the interior angle=180-140=40
40 is the correct answer.
Answer:
10 ÷ 16
Step-by-step explanation:
The computation is shown below
Given that
Paul required to buy 5 by 8 pound of peanuts
And, the scale at the store is in sixteenths
So, the measure that should be equivalent is
Here the denominator should be 16 so it should be multiplied by 2
= 5 ÷ 8 × 2 ÷ 2
= 10 ÷ 16
