ANEK [815]

Answer:

20 newspapers

Step-by-step explanation:

First create an equation.

y = 0.75x + 45

Now substitute 60 y and solve for x.

60 = 0.75x + 45

60 - 45 = 0.75x + 45 - 45

15/0.75 = 0.75x/0.75

x = 20 newspapers

hram777 [196]

What we need to know is how much is 1/3 of 25 2/5.

We will be multiplying fraction by a fraction and for this, it's good to change mixed numbers into improper fractions:

25 2/5= $\frac{23*5+2}{5}= \frac{117}{5}$

and now we multiply it by 1/3:

$\frac{1}{3}\frac{117}{5}=\frac{39}{5}=7\frac{4}{5}$

and that's the answer: the basketball equipment weights 7 4/5 pounds.
