So you take 20 inches and times it by 4 which equals 80 inches. So then you would take to 80 inches and divide by 108. then you will get your answer.
First, we group together the terms with variables in one side by subtracting 3/2 x and 5 from both sides of the equation.
(2/3)x - (3/2)x + 5 - 5 = (3/2)x - (3/2)x - 5
(-5/6)x = -5
The value of x from the equation is 6.
Answer:
13 batches of cookies
Step-by-step explanation:
12 2/3 ÷ 2/3 = 12.6666667, it's 13 because 2/3 as a decimal is .6666666 and .6666667 is more than 2/3. So you add one to the answer.
Answer:
$110
Step-by-step explanation:
Let a, b, and c represent the earnings of Alan, Bob, and Charles. The problem statement tells us ...
a + b + c = 480 . . . . . . the combined total of their earnings
-a + b = 40 . . . . . . . . . . Bob earned 40 more than Alan
2a - c = 0 . . . . . . . . . . . Charles earned twice as much as Alan
Adding the first and third equations, we get ...
(a + b + c) + (2a - c) = (480) + (0)
3a + b = 480
Subtracting the second equation gives ...
(3a +b) - (-a +b) = (480) -(40)
4a = 440 . . . . . . . . simplify
a = 110 . . . . . . . . . . divide by the coefficient of a
Alan earned $110.
_____
<em>Check</em>
Bob earned $40 more, so $150. Charles earned twice as much, so $220.
The total is then $110 +150 +220 = $480 . . . . as required
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
15 can go into both 45 and 150 so you divide both into that
45/15 is 3
150/15=10
