Total amount of muffins: 3×6= 18 muffins.
Amount of muffins without nuts:
total amount of muffins - muffins with nuts
18-3= 15 muffins without nuts
Is it supposed to be equal to something, maybe "0"? You wouldn't be able to solve this without that.
44/35 = 1 9/35
So, your answer is 1 9/35
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Please consider the complete question.
Sebastian swan laps every day in the community swimming pool. He swam 45 minutes each day, 5 days each week, for 12 weeks. In that time, he swam 1800 laps. What was his average rate in laps per hour?
Let us convert time taken into hours as:
1 hour = 60 minutes. To convert minutes into hours, we will divide total minutes by 60.
Now, we will divide 1800 by 45 to find average rate in laps per hour as:
Therefore, Sebastian's average rate is 40 laps per hour.
<u>We are given:</u>
An even number 'n', multiplied by the next consecutive even number is 168
<u>Solving for n:</u>
From the given statement, we can say that:
n(n+2) = 168 [<em>n multiplied by the next even number 'n+2'</em>]
n² + 2n = 168
n² + 2n - 168 = 0 [<em>subtracting 168 from both sides</em>]
We can see that we now have a quadratic equation, solving using splitting the middle term
n² + 14n - 12n - 168 = 0
n(n + 14) -12(n + 14) = 0 <em>[factoring out common terms</em>]
(n-12)(n+14) = 0
Here, we can divide both sides by either (n-12) OR (n+14)
Checking the result in both the cases:
(n + 14) = 0/(n-12) (n-12) = 0/(n+14)
n + 14 = 0 n - 12 = 0
n = -14 n = 12
Both these values are even and since we are not told if the number 'n' is positive or negative, both 12 and -14 are the possible values of n
