Answer:
The cat should receive 1/5 of the can of food at each meal.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that a cat is to receive 90 kcal of a canned food at each meal, and the food has a caloric density of 450 kcal per can, to determine what fraction of a can it should receive at each meal, the following calculation must be performed:
1 / (450/90) = X
1/5 = X
Thus, the cat should receive 1/5 of the can of food at each meal.
The first two pieces are the same, let each of those equal x, so you have x + x = 2x
The 3rd piece is the sum of the first two + 4, so this would be 2x + 4
Now you have 2x + 2x + 4 = 100 cm
Combine like terms:
4x +4 = 100
Subtract 4 from both sides
4x = 96
Divide both sides by 4
X = 24
First piece is 24 cm
Second piece is 24 cm
Third piece is 52 cm

Answer:
1. 1.6x has a variable which means an unknown number
2. 5 more than 0.10 times a number
Step-by-step explanation:
A variable is an unknown number represented by a letter. It provides a way to write a relationship in the real world without knowing all the values involved, 1.6x means 1.6 times an unknown number mathematically. A real world example would be a percent growth of 60% on an unknown price - 1.6x.
5 + 0.10x means 5 more than 0.10 times an unknown number. A real world example here would be "10% off a sale plus $5 coupon". We don't know the price of the item but we do know it is 10% off and we get $5 off. Once we know the price we input it int for x and find the total discount.
