Answer:

12 Pieces

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of candies in Jane's bag = x

she gives 8 to her friend;

x - 8

Then jane's grandmother buys 5 more pieces than jane had originally; add (x + 5)

x - 8 + x + 5

Now jane has 27 pieces of candy

x - 8 + x + 5 = 27

Solve for x;

x - 8 + x + 5 = 27

2x - 3 = 27

2x = 27 -3

2x = 24

x = 12

Suppose that a large pumpkin empty a swimming pool in 40 hours and that a small pumpkin empty a pool and 70 hours working togeth
Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

Total 25.45 hours will be taken to empty the pool.

Step-by-step explanation:

Time taken by large pumpkin to empty the pool=40 hours

Time taken by the smaller pumpkins to empty the pool=70 hours

Amount of pool emptied by large pumpkin in one hour=\frac{1}{40}

Amount of pool emptied by small pumpkin in one hour=\frac{1}{70}

Amount of pool emptied in one hour if both pumpkins work together=

\frac{1}{40}+ \frac{1}{70}

=\frac{11}{280}

Therefore, the no. of days will be the reciprocal of the amount of work done in one hour ie . \frac{280}{11}

Total 25.45 hours will be taken to empty the pool.

dmitriy555 [2]
The area of a parallelogram is A=bh

A=10(18.5) \\ A=185

I am assuming you're asking for the entire parking lot, so you would have to multiply the above area by 916

185(916) = 169,460  ft^{2}

So the answer is (D)
