Answer:

Sally is 23 years old.

Step-by-step explanation:

John's age is completely unknown, so it is known as x

Meanwhile, Sally's age can be represented as 3x+2

The sum of both ages is 30.

So, x+3x+2=30

Combine like terms.

4x+2=30

Subtract 2 from both sides.

4x=28

Divide both sides by 4.

x=7

John is 7 years old.

Sally's age: 3(7)+2=23

Sally is 23 years old.

Help please I'm not sure if I got it right, I'm a bit confused. 5th grade math
dmitriy555 [2]

Answer:

  check your math

Step-by-step explanation:

The first subtraction was correct:

  36 -7 3/4 = 28 1/4

The second subtraction needs to be revisited.

  28 1/4 -6 2/4 = 27 5/4 -6 2/4 = 21 3/4

__

You can do what you did, but you need to pay attention to the signs.

  28 1/4 -6 2/4 = (28 -6) +(1/4 -2/4) = 22 - 1/4 = 21 3/4

The result of subtracting 2/4 from 1/4 is -1/4, not +1/4.

_____

The length of the first cut piece was 21 3/4 inches.

Lola measures three buttons for a shirt she’s making. One button is 1/8, 3/8 and 1/4 inch. The button hole is 2/6 of an inch. Wh
mel-nik [20]

Answer:

3/8

Step-by-step explanation:

That's the only one bigger than 2/6, any smaller will fall out as it's a button. You'd twist it sort of in half to get it in the hole, therefore, 3/8 is the only button that will fit.

I'm not sure if this is correct but this is how I'd go about it :)
