Answer:
191
Step-by-step explanation:
Sorry it's sideways. I drew a box chart for this. First, fill in what you know: the number of white and black beads Ally has. Then, calculate how many black beads Betty has (Ally's number, 59, minus 35.) 59-35 = 24.
They tell you the total number of beads is 346. Add up Ally's total to get 131, then subtract that from 346. That's Betty's total beads, 215.
Last, subtract the 24 black beads Betty has from the 215 total to get 191.
Answer:
Just like multiplication is adding the same number multiple times, dividing can be described as subtracting the same number multiple times.
Ex:
4 x 3 = 12
4 + 4 + 4 = 12
8/2 = 4
8 -2 -2 = 4
You have to get r by itself on one side. Multiply both sides by 238 to cancel it out of the denominator on the left side.
You are left with r = 8 × 238 or r = 1904.
To check, plug 1904 back into the equation.
1904 ÷ 238 = 8
8 = 8 (True)
(3^3)* (3^-3)= 3^0
Remember that if you have the same base, add the exponents.
3^0=1
5(1)=5
Final answer: 5
Hi there!
Amit's reasoning is incorrect because multiplying a positive number by a negative number results in a negative result. The question also says that it is a charge to his account, which means that money is being taken away. Therefore, Amit's reasoning is incorrect because the bank is taking away money from him and his equation results in a positive value, instead of negative.
Hope this helps!! :)
If there's anything else that I can help you with, please let me know!
