Answer:

a) The variable, M represents the amount of fish Ms. Montesinos has

b) The set equation is 11 + 2 = 3 × M - 2

c) 5

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters are;

The number of fishes in Ms. Cruz's tank = 11 fishes

The number of fishes Ms, Cruz has after buying two more fishes = 3 × The amount of fish Ms. Montesinos has - 2 fishes

a) Let the variable, M represent the amount of fish Ms. Montesinos has

b) The set up equation is as follows;

11 + 2 = 3 × M - 2

c) From the equation, 11 + 2 = 3 × M - 2, we have;

13 = 3·M - 2

3·M = 13 + 2 = 15

3·M = 15

M = 15/3 = 5

M = 5

The number of fishes Ms. Montesinos has is 17 fishes

qaws [65]
The answer is D. <span>$780.25

In this particular case, you just need to find the difference between what Casey earn hourly with his total earning..

The hourly wage that Casey earned in 26 hours:
$ 4.55 x 26 = 118.3

The total amount that casey earned in 26 hours:
$898.55

So, the amount that Casey earned through tips:

Applying GCF and LCM to fraction Operations?<br>.<br>. PLZ HELP

When multiplying fractions just multiply the numerator and denominators together, then simplify the fraction you get.

To solve the addition problem, first convert 2 and 1/2 to an improper fraction. It should be 5/2. Now 3/8 and 5/2 must be added together.

To add these, they must have the same denominator. Let's give 5/2 a denominator of 8, so it matches 3/8.

To give 5/2 a denominator of 8, you are starting with a denominator of 2. 2 × 4 = 8, so you must multiply 5/2 by 4.

You should get 20/8. Now you have to add 20/8 and 3/8. The only thing you add is the numerator, so you should get 23/8 as a final answer.

For the subtraction problem, do these same steps to make the fractions you must subtract have the same denominator, then subtract only the numerator to get the answer. Once you solve the subtraction problem, text me what you got so I can check it for you. :)
