Answer:

There were 12 gold coins in the chest at the start.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the information given to us to answer the question correctly:

x = Number of gold coins in a chest

1/2x = Number of gold coins taken by the captain

1/4x = Number of gold coins taken by Sally

3 = Number of gold coins left

2. How many coins were in the chest at the start?

Let's write the following equation to solve for x:

1/2x + 1/4x + 3 = x

2x + x + 12 = 4x (Lowest Common Denominator is 4)

4x - 2x - x = 12 (Like terms)

x = 12

There were 12 gold coins in the chest at the start.

Hope this helps :D

Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

a) 5cm^{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

Bodies have three dimensions (width, height and depth). Measuring volume is calculating the number of cubic units that can fit inside.

When raising to 3, these dimensions are included and therefore  5cm^{3} is a measure of volume.
