Answer:

a) There were 32 red pens and b) 16 blue pens.

Step-by-step explanation:

3:4

for 3:4 to be 2:1 we should add 5 in order for it to be 8:4 (2:1)

20 divided by 5 is equal to 4

8:4

8 times 4 is equal to 32

4 times 4 is equal to 16

a free tailed bat can fly 232 feet in 4 seconds. A hummingbird can fly 343 feet in 7 seconds. Which can fly fast and by how much
Katarina [22]

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to find the unit rate of each animal (how many feet each animal can fly in a second). We do this by dividing the number of feet flown by the number of time.

Bat: 232/4 = 58 ft per second
Hummingbird: 343/7 = 49 ft per second

Based off of this information, we can conclude that the bat can fly faster than the hummingbird.

A toy company had an order of five boxes to ship unfortunately this was 17 pounds over the shipping weight limit per order of ea
pochemuha

Answer:

28 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

We have a total of 5 boxes, now we know that each box weighs 9 pounds, therefore:

Total weight = 5 * 9 = 45 pounds

Which means there are 45 pounds in total.

We are told that the limit is exceeded by 17 pounds. To find the limit weight, it is necessary to subtract the total weight and the excess:

45-17 = 28 pounds

Therefore, the maximum weight allowed per shipment is 28 pounds.
