Answer:
1. More magnets are longer than 2 1/2
2. 10 magnets measure in whole numbers and 5 magnets between 2 whole numbers
3. Because the shortest magnet is 1 inch and the longest magnet is 4 inches.
Step-by-step explanation:
1. There are 7 magnets that are longer than 7 1/2 and only 6 magnets that are shorter than 2 1/2. (The 2 magnets that are exactly 2 1/2 are neither longer nor shorter therefore they do not apply to the question.)

Answer:
33.75 miles in 45 minutes,
45 miles in an hour
Step-by-step explanation:
45 minutes: 2 1/3= 7/3 ---> 7/3*3=7,
1 3/4= 7/4 ---> 7/4*3=5.25
car travels 5.25 miles for every 7 minutes,
45/7*5.25= 33.75 miles
1 hour (60 minutes):
using that the car travels 5.25 miles for every 7 minutes,
60/7*5.25= 45 miles
Hope that makes sense!
For systems of equations try using graphing, substitution, and elimination. For example
{2x+7y=3}
{x=-4y}
You should first look at if you have a variable that can be substituted (using substitution) and in this case we do! you plug in the x into 2x meaning 2(-4y)+7y=3
1) distribute -8y+7y=3
2) combine like terms in this case -8y+7y= -1y
3) solve -1y=3
y=-3
so currently our solution is (0,-3)
now we solve for x.
we plug our solved variable (y) into 7y
7(-3) and our equation looks like this
2x+7(-3)=3
1) distribute 7(-3)=-21
2) rewrite then solve 2x+(-21)=3
3) isolate variable -21+21 & 3+21
4) 2x=24
5) solve 2/24 = 12
Meaning our solution is (12,-3)
This is how to solve by substitution.
