Answer:

There were 140 M&M's in the bag to start.

Step-by-step explanation:

Note: The word "of" is a good indicator of multiplication in word problems.

Let's say x is the number of M&M's in the bag. Then,

21=x*15%

Solve for x by dividing by 15% on both sides

140=x

There were 140 M&M's in the bag to start.

How much is 1 and 3/4ths times 2
Tomtit [17]
To find out what 1 and 3/4 times 2 is, we need to find out a way to make it much more simple and then answer it.
A quick way to answer this in a few steps is to:
1.) convert the fraction into decimal.
To do this, we need to divide 100 by our denominator (the number on the bottom of a fraction). Let's try it.
100 / 4 = 25.
For every 1/4, it adds 25.
Since we have 3/4, multiply 3 by 25.
You get 75, but it is not whole.
2.) Put your quotient into decimal form by putting it as 0.## (if we divided 100 by a smaller number).
Your number for 3/4 is 0.75.
Since we have a whole number (1), put it in the single-digit place.
(#.00)
1.75 is your fraction into decimal form.
Now, we need to multiply 1.75 by 2.00.
2.00 x 1.75 = 3.5
Your product is 3.5.
I hope this helps!

I believe the answer would be angle O.

All you do to find this answer is rotate the 2nd figure so it matches the 1st one above it, and look to see which angles...I guess are where and which match each other.
