George has $15. He tries to buy a movie ticket ($9.00), a pretzel ($2.65), a drink ($1.35), and two veggie cups ($1.74 each) but

he does not have enough money. Look at the numerical expression George used: 15 − 9 + 2.65 + 1.35 + 2(1.74) Can you help him determine why he does not have enough money? 15 - 9 + 2.65 + 1.35 + 2(1.74) Use the order of operations to simplify this expression.

Answer:

George did not put parentheses around the total snack amount to be subtracted from his $15. He needed to total the purchases and then subtract that amount from $15.

or

George tries to buy a movie ticket ($9.00), a pretzel($2.65), a drink ($1.35), and two veggie cups ($1.74 each)    

9+2.65+1.35+1.74+1.74= 16.48  

subtract 15 to 16.48  

15-16.48= 1.48

he still needs $1.48

Step-by-step explanation:

they are both right :)

Answer:

George doesn't have enough money because the total cost of what he wants to buy costs $16.48 and he has $15. This means he needs an extra $1.48 to be able to buy what he needs

Step-by-step explanation:

From the above question:

George has $15. He tries to buy a movie ticket ($9.00), a pretzel ($2.65), a drink ($1.35), and two veggie cups ($1.74 each) but he does not have enough money.

Look at the numerical expression George used: 15 −( 9 + 2.65 + 1.35 + 2(1.74) )

Use the order of operations to simplify this expression.

Using the order of operations we have:

=$ 15 - (9 + 2.65 + 1.35 + 2(1.74) )

= $15 -( 9 + 2.65 + 1.35 + 3.48 )

=$ 15 - (16.48)

= $-1.48

George doesn't have enough money because the total cost of what he wants to buy costs $16.48 and he has $15. This means he needs an extra $1.48 to be able to buy what he needs

Broccoli costs $ 1.50 per pound at a grocery store. How much money does 64 ounces of broccoli cost, before tax?
Ber [7]
Note that 1lb=16oz and set up multiplication/division to cancel out units that you do not need for the final answer.  (Units cancel just like numbers, this is fundamental to dimensional analysis)

64oz($1.50/16oz)=$6.00

Daniel [21]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:Area = 1/2(b1 + b2)x h

Area = 18,000 ft^2

b1 = 80 ft

b2 = 100 ft

18,000 = 1/2(80 + 100) x h

36,000 = (180)h

h = 36,000/180

h = 200ft.

This is the distance between streets.

Hope this helps :-)Area = 1/2(b1 + b2)x h

Area = 18,000 ft^2

b1 = 80 ft

b2 = 100 ft

18,000 = 1/2(80 + 100) x h

36,000 = (180)h

h = 36,000/180

h = 200ft.

This is the distance between streets.

Hope this helps :-)
