Answer:

w = 312

The step by step process of rearranging the equation to find w is as follows:

w / -8 = -39

Multiplying both sides by –8:

w / -8 x -8 = -39 x -8

w = 312

Chad bought a box of raisins. he gave 1/6 of it to one brother, 1/4 to another brother, and he kept the rest for himself. what f

fenix001 [56]

Greetings!

This can be solved by creating a simple equation.
$1/4+1/6+x=1$

Solve for x.
$1/4+1/6+x=1$
Find the LCM.
$3/12+2/12+x=1$
$5/12+x=1$
Add -5/12 to both sides.
$(5/12+x)+(-5/12)=(1)+(-5/12)$
Simplify.
$x=1/1-5/12$
Find the LCM.
$x=12/12-5/12$
$x=7/12$

He kept 7/12 of the raisins for himself.

Hope this helps.

From 1000, create a pattern by subtracting 8 from each number and stop at 5 numbers

shusha [124]

Well subtract 8 from 1000 and then do that five times. so 992,984,976,968, and 960<span />

If the rate of the boat in still water is 27 mph, and the rate of the current of a river is x mph, what is the rate of the boat

BigorU [14]

Answer:

a)27-x

b)27+x

Step-by-step explanation:

when a boat travels in the same direction as the current is downstream-->speeds the boat. If the rate of the boat in still water is 27 mph and the rate of the current of a river is x mph, the rate of the boat when the boat is going downstream is 27+x

when a boat travels against the current is upstream-->slow down. If the rate of the boat in still water is 27 mph and the rate of the current of a river is x mph, the rate of the boat when the boat is going upstream is 27-x
