Since "p" represents the number of pounds of peanuts and:
4.05p + 14.40 = 4.50(p + 3) [then by distributing we have:
4.05p + 14.40 = 4.50p + 13.5 [then by subtracting 13.5 from both sides we have:
4.05p + 0.9 = 4.50p [then by subtracting 4.05p from both sides we have:
0.9 = 0.45p [then by dividing both sides by 0.45 we have:
2 = p
So there are 2 pounds of peanuts needed for the trail mix.
Answer:
T = total #
T = 5 (to the aunt) + 1/2 (T - 5) (to his friends) + 1 (to his sister) + 4 (left)
T = 5 + 1/2 (T - 5) + 1 + 4
T = 10 + 1/2 (T - 5)
2T = 20 + (T - 5)
2T = 20 + T - 5
2T = 15 + T
T = 15
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
3x - 20 = 13
Step-by-step explanation:
1. The word is signals the equal sign.
The difference of three times a number and 20 = 13
2. The word difference signals subtraction.
3. The phrase a number sigals that the number is unknown, so a variable should be used. In this case, I'll use x.
4. Three times that number = 3x.
The difference = subtraction.
3x-20=13
Answer:
I:23/48
ii 25/48
Step-by-step explanation:
30min=0.5hr
total time exercised: 11+0.5=11.5hr
Divided by total hours of a day:
11.5/24=115/240=23/48
ii:(48-23)/48
