We can start with subtracting 7040 from 20,000, getting us 12960 gallons remaining, If 720 gallons per hour are coming, we can make the equation 12960 = 720h, with h as hours. Next, we can divide both sides by 720, getting us 18. It will take 18 hours to fill the pool.
Answer:
5 and -5
Step-by-step explanation:
Opposite numbers are the same distance from 0 on the number line. So, each of the numbers is a distance from zero that is half the distance between them.
The numbers are 10/2 = 5, and -5.
Take the tax (6$) and divide it by the pretax(75$) and take that number and multiply it by 100 and you get your percentage (8%)
Answer:
A.Both of the students did the problem correctly.
Step-by-step explanation:
B. Nikki multiplied the fraction(8/3) to the items in the parentheses. Then multiplied each side with 3. Jon did the opposite. He first removed the fraction by multiplying each side by 3. Then he multiplied 2 to the items in the paranthesis.
C. I prefer Jon's method. Fractions can be tricky. I prefer to remove them as soon as possible. This time the items in the paranthesis had whole numbers. But had any of them been a fraction too, the problem would have gotten a lot more tricky and it would very easy to make a mistake or miscalculate something.
