Answer: n+2

Two lawns more than last week so two more than something with n being that something is; n+2

For this case we have to:

n: It's the variable that represents the number of lawns that mowed Wally last week.

If you tell us as a fact that this week Wally mowed two more lawns, then we have the following expression:

$n + 2$

Finally, the expression is:

$n + 2$

Answer:

$n + 2$

Option A

$600 7) Nika puts 42 beads in each necklace. Which is the best way to use rounding numbers to estimate the number of beads Nika

kkurt [141]

Answer:

20 X 40 = 800 (split into 2 fourths) = 40

Step-by-step explanation

20 x 40 = 800;

For 2 necklaces she can split 800 into fourths.

800 - 40 = 80. (1 fourth)

80 - 40 = 40 (2 fourths)

40 - 40 = 0 (3 fourths)

She could split 800 into 2 fourths to get a number more than 0 and less then 42.

The best estimate of rounding 42 is 40. Because 40 is closer to 42.

At the Science Museum, there is an exhibition with 150 displays about energy.

This is a matter of elimination. So let's figure out how many of each display there is. 30% of 150 = 0.30 * 150 = 45 displays about electricity. 2/5 * 150 = 0.40 * 150 = 60 displays about renewable energy 1/10 * 150 = 150/10 = 15 displays about gas. The rest of the displays are about nuclear power. So 150 - 45 - 60 - 15 = 30 displays about nuclear power. Since we want a fraction, we get 30/150 But 30/150 isn't in it's simplest form. The largest number that will evenly divide both 30 and 150 is 30. So divide both the numerator and denominator by 30 (30/30)/(150/30) = 1/5 So 1/5 of the displays are about nuclear power.</span>

The volume of the rectangular prism is 648 feet. The rectangular base is 6 feet by 9 feet. What is the height of the prism?

IrinaK [193]

Answer:

$h=12ft$

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula one would use for finding the volume of a rectangular prism is as follows:

Volume = length × width × height , $V=l*w*h$

With this in mind, let's plug in the given variables in the question for this formula.

$V=648ft^3$

$l=6ft$

$w=9ft$

$h=$ ?

We don't know the height, but that's just fine. We will plug in all our values and isolate $h$ .

$V=lwh\\648ft^3=(6ft)(9ft)h$

I'm leaving in units just because I want to show that units aren't just for show. They can be used when in doubt of how to go about your math.

$648ft^3=(6ft)(9ft)h\\648ft^3=(54ft^2)h\\\frac{648ft^3}{54ft^2}=\frac{(54ft^2)h}{54ft^2}$

Notice, that the units on the left side cancel out, leaving only the unit $ft$ left next to the solution. In the same way, the units on the right side cancel out too, leaving only $h$ , height.

$\frac{648ft^3}{54ft^2}=\frac{(54ft^2)h}{54ft^2}\\12ft=h$

If involving units only confuses you, like it does for me, you can remove them like so, you just need to know what units your solution uses instead of being able to come to the proper units by using math.

$V=lwh\\648=(6)(9)h\\648=54h\\\frac{648}{54}=\frac{54h}{54}\\12ft=h$
