Answer: 5 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
The x's denote the insects measured so the longest insects would be of lengths:
1³/₄ inch, 1³/₄ inch and 1¹/₂ inch.
Adding them together would require converting them to improper fractions first:
7/4, 7/4, 3/2
Pick a denominator that is both denominators' lowest common multiple = 4
Adding them:
Divide the LCM by the denominator of the fraction and multiply the result by the numerator:
= (7 + 7 + 6) / 4
= 20/4
= 5 inches
558 divided by 23 equals
24 with a remainder of 6
Answer:
DEF = 110
Step-by-step explanation:
Supplementary angles add to 180
3x+5 +2x = 180
Combine like terms
5x +5 = 180
Subtract 5 from each side
5x = 175
Divide each side by 5
5x/5 = 175/5
x =35
DEF = 3x+5
= 3*35 +5
= 105+5
= 110
Answer: there were 692 visitors on Saturday.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of visitors that were there on Friday.
Let y represent the number of visitors that were there on Saturday.
Let z represent the number of visitors that were there on Sunday.
The theme park had 1099 visitors in 3 days. It means that
x + y + z = 1099- - - - - - - - - - - - - -1
There were twice as many visitors on saturday than on Friday. This means that
y = 2x
x = y/2
There were 234 more visitors on Sunday than on Saturday. This means that
z = y + 234
Substituting x = y/2 and z = y + 234 into equation 1, it becomes
y/2 + y + y + 234 = 1099
Cross multiplying by 2, it becomes
y + 2y + 2y + 468 = 2198
5y = 2198 - 468
5y = 1730
x = 1730/5
x = 346
y = 2x = 2 × 346
y = 692
z = y + 234 = 692 + 234
z = 926
