We have been given that Liam makes soap sculptures of sea turtles each sculpture weighs 3/8 pounds. He ships them in a wooden box that weighs 2 pounds. The total weight of the box filled with the sea turtles is 5 pounds.

We are asked to find the number of sea turtles in the box.

First of all, we will subtract the weight of the box from total weight to find the weight of all sea turtles.

$\text{Weight of sea turtles}=\text{Total weight}-\text{Weight of box}$

$\text{Weight of sea turtles}=\text{5 pounds}-\text{2 pounds}$

$\text{Weight of sea turtles}=3\text{ pounds}$

Now we will divide total weight of all turtles by weight of one turtle to find number of turtles.

$\text{Number of turtles}=\frac{\text{Weight of all sea turtles}}{\text{Weight of one turtle}}$

$\text{Number of turtles}=\frac{3}{\frac{3}{8}}$

$\text{Number of turtles}=\frac{3\cdot 8}{3}$

$\text{Number of turtles}=8$

Therefore, there are 8 sea turtles in the box.

Roselyn is making a stir fry. The recipe calls 4 cups of broccoli but she only has 2/3 cup measure. How many measuring cups of b

soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

Remaining cups = 10/3 cups

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Total amount of broccoli = 4 cup

Amount of broccoli used = 2/3 cup

Find:

Remaining cups

Computation:

Remaining cups = Total amount of broccoli - Amount of broccoli used

Remaining cups = 4 - 2/3

Remaining cups = (12-2) / 3

Remaining cups = 10/3 cups

The temperature on Wednesday evening was -5 Fahrenheit. The temperature decreased another 8 degrees throughout the night. What w

katovenus [111]

Answer:

The Temperature on Thursday morning will be -13° Fahrenheit.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Temperature on Wednesday evening = -5 Fahrenheit

Temperature decreased Throughout the night = 8 degrees

We need to find the Temperature on Thursday morning.

Now we know that;

The temperature decreased means the temperature went more below the current temperature.

So To calculate Temperature on Thursday morning we will Subtract the temperature which got decreased by the temperature noted on Wednesday evening.

framing in equation form we get;

Temperature on Thursday morning = $-5-8 =-13\°\ Fahrenheit$

Hence The Temperature on Thursday morning will be -13° Fahrenheit.

A bag of fertilizer covers 3000 square feet of lawn. Find how many bags of fertilizer should be purchased to cover a rectangular

kvasek [131]

Answer:

14 bags

Step-by-step explanation:

Dimension of lawn : 230 feet by 180 feet

area of rectangle is given by length * width

Since lawn is rectangular area of lawn = 230 feet * 180 feet = 41,400 sq. feet

Given that one bag of fertilizer covers 3000 square feet of lawn.

Thus , to find no. of bags required to cover whole lawn will be

total area of lawn/area which one bag of fertilizer covers

no. of bags required to cover whole lawn = 41,400 sq. feet/3000 sq. feet

= 13.8 bags.

As no. of bags cannot be fractional , hence rounding bag to nearest unit place is 14 bags.

Solve for the sqrt(x-2)+8=x

kirza4 [7]

<h3>Answer: x = 11</h3>

==============================================

Work Shown:

$\sqrt{x-2}+8=x\\\sqrt{x-2}=x-8\\\left(\sqrt{x-2}\right)^2=(x-8)^2 \text{ square both sides}\\x-2=x^2-16x+64\\0=x^2-16x+64-x+2\\0=x^2-17x+66\\x^2-17x+66 = 0\\(x-11)(x-6) = 0\\x-11 = 0 \text{ or } x-6 = 0\\x = 11 \text{ or } x = 6\\$

Those are the two possible solutions . We need to check each possible solution.

Plug in x = 11 then simplify. If we get the same number on both sides, then x = 11 is confirmed.

$\sqrt{x-2}+8=x\\\sqrt{11-2}+8=11\\\sqrt{9}+8=11\\3+8=11\\11=11\\$

We get 11 on both sides, so the solution x = 11 is confirmed.

Repeat for x = 6 as well

$\sqrt{x-2}+8=x\\\sqrt{6-2}+8=6\\\sqrt{4}+8=6\\2+8=6\\10=6\\$

We do not get the same thing on both sides, so x = 6 is not a solution. We consider this extraneous.
