100 cm = 1 meter
<span>4.5 meter x 100 cm = 450 cm </span>
<span>450 cm / 4.5 cm = number of pieces of ribbon </span>
<span>450/4.5 = 100</span>
A. The volume is 8 times more
b. The volume is 27 times more
c. The volume is 64 times more
Let the first number be = x
Then the second number = 2x
The third number = 2x - 5
Their sum = 55
This can be written in an equation as =
x + 2x + 2x - 5 = 55
= x + 2x + 2x = 55 + 5 ( transposing -5 from LHS to RHS changes -5 to +5 )
= x + 2x + 2x = 60
= 5x = 60
= x = 60 ÷ 5 ( transposing ×5 from LHS to RHS changes ×5 to ÷5 )
= x = 12
The first number = x = 12
The second number = 2x = 2 × 20 = 24
The third number = 2x - 5 = 24 - 5 = 19
Therefore , the three numbers are 12 , 24 and 19 .
