Answer:-14, -26
Step-by-step explanation:
13-4=9
4-9=-5
From here you can see that the pattern is -9
-5-9=-14
23. is -14
16-2=14
2-14=-12
From here you can see that the pattern is -14
-12-14=-26
24. is -14
Answer: 3 pounds
Step-by-step explanation: 1 pound=16 ounces
Now that you know what the conversion from ounces to pounds is, you just have to divide the number of ounces in the problem (48) by 16.
48÷16=3
In order to answer this question, we must break this mathematical expression up into a series of mathematical operations (exponent, multiplication,division, addition, and/or subtraction):
"4 times a number" - The word "times" implies that we have to multiply 4 by an unknown number. We can simply label this unknown number as x.
"cubed" - In order to "cube" a number, we must raise it to the third power, or have an exponent of 3. Our unknown number of x now becomes x3 because we raised it to the third power.
"decreased by 7" - The word "decreased" implies that we must subtract 7 from the product of 4 multiplied by x3
With all of the information we now have, we can form an algebraic expression for this problem.
"4 times a number cubed decreased by 3" now becomes:
4x3 - 7
Answer:
The student took 2.5 minutes to paint 1 square foot.
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to know how long the student took to paint each square foot we first need to know the total area of the bulletin board. Since it is a rectangle we can compute it's area by multiplying the width and the height. That is:
area = 2*3 = 6 square foot
Since the student took 15 minutes to paint the whole board the pace at which he was working can be calculated by dividing the total area of the board by the time he took to paint all of it. So we have:
pace = 6/15 = 0.4 foot/min
To find how long it took him to paint 1 square foot we can divide it by the pace he was painting. We have:
time = 1/0.4 = 2.5 minutes
The student took 2.5 minutes to paint 1 square foot.
