Answer:

There's 15 cows and 35 chickens.

Step-by-step explanation:

Take 20 and multiply it by 2. The answer is 40. Then subtract 40 from 130. The answer will be 90. The cow has double the amount of legs than the  chicken, so the cow is equivalent to 2 chicken. Divide 90 by 3. The answer is 30. Then divide 30 by 2 the answer is 15. Add 15 and 20 and the answer is 35 chickens. Divide 30 by 2 and the answer is 15.

You will get 35 chicken and 15 cows as your answer. Happy Election Night, and I hope this helps! ;)

Answer:

8: 50 hours

9: 6 inches

10: 43 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

I couldn't see the entirety of 7 because some of the page was folded, so I didn't answer it.

8: Make them equations of y=12x+450 and y=21x. Since both equal y, set them equal to each other so 21x=12x+450. Subtract 12x from both sides to get 9x=450. Divide by 9 on both sides to get 50.

9: The length equals 3w-6 and the width is just w. The perimeter would equal 2w+2(3w-6) which when factored is 2w+6w-12. Simplify to 8w-12. If P=8w-12 and we know P=36, then set the two equations equal to each other so that 8w-12=36. Add 12 to both sides to get 8w=48. Then divide both sides by 8 to get a final answer of w=6.

10. P=x+5x+8+4x-7. Simplify that to P=10x+1. We know that P=71, so set the two equations equal to each other to get 71=10x+1. Subtract 1 from both sides to get 70=10x. Divide both sides by 10 and x=7. Now substitute x in each side of the triangle and we get 7, (4*7-7), and (5*7+8). Solve all of those to get sides of 7, 21, and 43. The question asks what is the length of the longest side, so the answer would be 43.

What is larger  3/8  or  5/16
UkoKoshka [18]
\frac{3}{8} ... \frac{5}{16}

First, find the least common denominator between the two.
Since 8 is a factor of 16, the LCD is 16.

\frac{3*2}{8*2}

\frac{3}{8}=  \frac{6}{16}

Now, you can compare the numerators.

6>5

Since 6 is greater than 5, you know that \frac{6}{16} > \frac{5}{16}.

Therefore, we now know that \frac{3}{8} is larger.
