Answer:
8 turtles
Step-by-step explanation:
Each of Liam's sea turtle sculpture weighs 3\8 pounds and he ships them in a wooden box that weighs 2 pounds.
The weight of the box filled with the sea turtles is 5 pounds.
This means that the weight of the sea turtles in the wooden box is:
5 - 2 = 3 pounds
To find the number of sea turtles in the box, we simply divide the total weight of the turtles in the box by the weight of each turtle. That is:
= 8 turtles
There are 8 turtles in the box.
Answer:
see below
Step-by-step explanation:
butterfly = x minutes
breast = y minutes
total is 50 minutes
breast stroke = butterfly +20
Part A
x+y = 50
y = x+20
Part B
Substitute the second equation into the first
x+ (x+20) = 50
2x+20 = 50
2x+20-20 = 50-20
2x = 30
2x/2 = 30/2
x = 15
y = x+20
y = 20+15
y = 35 minutes
35 minutes on the breast stroke
Part C
45 minutes on the butterfly is not reasonable
We only have a total of 50 minutes
50-45 = 5
But he spend more time on the breast stroke ( 20 minutes more), but if he spend 45 minutes on the butterfly, he would have to spend less on the breast stroke.
I can't see where the one is bur if its on the top left it corresponds with 5 then
9x - 2x = 7x. 7x +3 is the answer. Hope it helps ;)
