Answer:
4
Step-by-step explanation:
taxes are collected for the government
131 3/4 ⇒ 115 5/8 ⇒ 5 2/3
Subtract 131 3/4 by 115 5/8.
131 3/4 ⇒ 131 6/8
131 6/8 - 115 5/8 = 16 1/8
Now add 16 1/8 + 5 2/3 and this will give you how much weight she lost in all.
16 1/8 ⇒ 16 3/24
5 2/3 ⇒ 5 16/24
16 3/24 + 5 16/24 = 21 19/24
Felice lost 21 19/24 pounds in all.
Question:
What is the equation for the following statement,"One-half of a number decreased by 3 is 21.
Answer:
<em>half the number = x/2 </em>
<em>decreased by 3 </em>
<em>(x/2) -3 =21</em>
<em>=48</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
y = kx, where k is a real constant.
When y = 12, x = 5.
=> (12) = (5)k, k = 2.4.
Therefore when y = 30,
x = y/k = (30)/(2.4) = 12.5.
The answer is 12.5.
