A number multiplied by a sum is the same as the sum of the number multiplied by each addend; a(b + c) = ab + ac
"How much more than" hints that you need to subtract the original weight (10 oz.) from the current weight (15 pounds, 3 oz.).
Important: 16 oz. = 1 lb.
I'd suggest that you convert 15 lb, 3 oz. to oz, so that you can easily compare the cat's mature weight to its weight at 2 weeks.
15 lb 3 oz
- 10 oz (subtract 10 oz)
--------------------
? This is "how much more he weighs now."
Example: convert 2 lb 11 oz to oz.
Solution: (2 lb) (16 oz) / (1 lb) + 11 oz. Note how "lb" will disappear.
Answer:
x = 28 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Area of link shaded regions = 84 cm²
Required:
The value of x (diameter of the semicircle/length of the rectangle)
Solution:
Diameter of the semicircle = 2r = x
Length of rectangle (L) = 2r = x
Radius of semicircle (r) = ½x
Width of rectangle (W) = radius of semicircle = ½x
Use 3.14 as π
Area of the link shaded regions = area of rectangle - area of semicircle
Thus:
Area of the link shaded regions = (L*W) - (½*πr²)
Plug in the values
84 = (x*½x) - (½*3.14*(½x)²)
84 = x²/2 - (1.57*x²/4)
84 = x²(½ - 1.57/4)
84 = x²(0.5 - 0.3925)
84 = x²(0.1075)
Divide both sides by 0.1075
84/0.1075 = x²
781.4 = x²
√781.4 = x
27.9535329 = x
x = 28 cm
-2-2 over -1-(-4) which would equal -4 over 3 so as a fraction -4/3
Answer:
My total savings was = $58.33
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
12% of my savings was = $7.00
To find my total savings.
Solution:
Let the total savings in dollars be = 
12% of the total savings will be = 
12% of my savings was = $7.00
So, we have:
Solving for to get my total savings.
Dividing both sides by 0.12
∴ 
Thus, my total savings was = $58.33
