<h3>The number of beads lina has is 31</h3><h3>
Laura made a mistake by adding the constant 7 and variable 4b</h3>
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Given that,
Laura wrote and solved the following expression to find the total number of beads Lina has
There are 6 beads in each packet
7+4b = 11b
= 11(6)
=66
From given,
Lina has a total of 7 + 4b beads
Given that, There are 6 beads in each packet
Substitute b = 6
7 + 4(6)
Simplify
7 + 24
Add
31
Thus, she has a total of 31 beads and not 66 beads
Laura made a mistake by adding the constant 7 and variable 4b
But a constant and variable cannot be added
For this case we must simplify the following expression
We know that, by definition:
So, rewriting the expression we have:
We add similar terms taking into account that:
- Equal signs are added and the same sign is placed.
- Different signs are subtracted and the major's sign is placed:
Answer:
Answer:
128
Step-by-step explanation:
Method A.
The volume of the prism is 2 cubic units.
Each cube has side length of 1/4 unit.
The volume of each cube is (1/4)^3 cubic unit.
The volume of each cube is 1/64 cubic unit.
To find the number of cubes that fit in the prism, we divide the volume of the prism by the volume of one cube.
(2 cubic units)/(1/64 cubic units) =
= 2/(1/64)
= 2 * 64
= 128
Method B.
Imagine that the prism has side lengths 1 unit, 1 unit, and 2 units (which does result in a 2 cubic unit volume.) Since each cube has side length 1/4 unit, then you can fit 4 cubes by 4 cubes by 8 cubes in the prism. Then the number of cubes is: 4 * 4 * 8 = 128
