Step-by-step explanation:
We can write this word problem as two variables. Let us assume that:
x = Natalie's age
y = Fred's age
The first part of the word problem is that "If you add Natalie's age and Fred's age, the result is 39." Therefore:
Natalie's age + Fred's age = 39
x + y = 39
This will be our first equation. The second equation can be derived from the statement that "If you add Fred's age to 4 times Natalie's age, the result is 78." Therefore:
(4 times Natalie's age) + Fred's age = 78
4x + y = 78
We can now form a system of equations and solve for both x and y:
The simplest way to solve would be using the Substitution method, as seen here:
x + y = 39
y = 39 - x
4x + y = 78
4x + (39 - x) = 78
3x + 39 = 78
3x = 39
x = 13
x + y = 39
13 + y = 39
y = 26
Remember that x = Natalie's age and y = Fred's age. Therefore, Natalie's age is 13 years old and Fred's age is 26 years old.
The image of the right rectangular prism is missing, so i have attached it.
Answer:
volume of the right rectangular prism = 625 in³
Step-by-step explanation:
The rectangular prism is made of equal-sized cubes. Thus, let's first find the volume of 1 cube.
Formula for volume of one cube is;
V = a³
where
a is the length of one side of the cube
We are told that this length is 2½ inches
Thus;
a = 2½ = 5/2 inches
>> V = (5/2)³
>> V = 125/8 in³
Now, in the rectangular prism attached, if we count the number of cubes we have, it is equal to 40 cubes
Therefore, the volume of the prism is;
Volume of one cube × 40
>> volume of the prism = (125/8) × 40
volume of the prism = 625 in³
Answer:
iii is right..................
Volume of a rectangular prism is length x width x height.
Volume = 8 x 3 x 3 = 72 cubic feet
Answer:
B. (12.0, 85.0) There were 12.0 pounds of peanuts and 85.0 pounds of pecans sold at the fair
Step-by-step explanation:
Subtract the first equation from the second:
1.85n = 157.25
n = 157.25/1.85 = 85 . . . . . divide by the coefficient of n
Only one answer choice has 85 pounds of pecans—the one shown above.
