Yes because if you do 4÷16 it is .25.
Hope it helps. If it doesn't comment on the bottom. I'll try to explain it more
The nails less than 2 inches long are the ones that are 1/2”, 1”, and 1 1/2”, if I am reading the table correctly.
4 x 1/2” = 2”
2 x 1” = 2”
2 x 1 1/2” = 3”
2 + 2 + 3 = 7 inches
Lets say that the first number is x and the second number is y.
from the question we know that:
y=-3x and x+y=-4
from there, you need to replace the y in the second equation with -3x since we know that is what y equals so we can have an equation with only one variable.
x+-3x+-4
Then you solve for x.
-2x=-4
x=2
then you find y with the fact that y=-3x
y=-6
Answer:
Peter's number is 36.
Step-by-step explanation:
If you subtratct 13 from 36, you get 23.
If you multiply that times -3, you get -69.
(The way I got 23 was by dividing -69 and -3)
I hope this helped you even though it's late.
