Answer:
what is the question
Step-by-step explanation:
B, C, and D are the correct answers
The two numbers are 30 and 11
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Given that we have to separate the number 41 into two parts
Let the second number be "x"
<em><u>Given that first number is eight more than twice the second number</u></em>
first number = eight more than twice the second number
first number = 8 + twice the "x"
first number = 8 + 2x
So we can say first number added with second number ends up in 41
first number + second number = 41
8 + 2x + x = 41
8 + 3x = 41
3x = 41 - 8
3x = 33
x = 11
first number = 8 + 2x = 8 + 2(11) = 8 + 22 = 30
Thus the two numbers are 30 and 11
He can make 3 batches of soup.
Starting with 10 pounds of tomatoes and taking out the number of pounds he sets aside for spaghetti sauce, 2.8, we have:
10-2.8 = 7.2 pounds left.
0.2 is read as "two tenths," so 7.2 = 7 2/10
We divide this remaining number of pounds by 2 2/5 for each batch of soup:
7 2/10 ÷ 2 2/5
Convert each to an improper fraction:
72/10 ÷ 12/5
Multiply by the reciprocal:
72/10 × 5/12 = 360/120 = 3
