Answer: 24</h3>
Explanation:
x = smaller number
8x = larger number, since it's 8 times larger than the smaller
8x-x = 7x = difference of the numbers
That difference is 21, so we can say 7x = 21 which solves to x = 3
The smaller number is 3 and the larger is 8x = 8*3 = 24
As a check: 24-3 = 21, which confirms the answer.
Answer:
1
Step-by-step explanation:
Probability is given by number of possible outcomes ÷ number of total outcomes
The time commuting between home and work is 6mi
Probability (the engineer is at least 2mi from home) means that the engineer is either 2mi from home or more than 2mi from home
Probability (the engineer is 2mi from home) = 2/6
Probability (the engineer is more than 2mi from home) = 1 - 2/6 = (6-2)/6 = 4/6
Probability (the engineer is at least 2mi from home) = 2/6 + 4/6 = 6/6 = 1
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The word "quotient" means to divide, so the "quotient of 3 and 8" looks like this:
If we add that quotient to 10, we have
Create the expression from the data:
The gallon of paint begins as a whole: 8/8
Then he removes 5/8 gallons of paint from the can: - 5/8
Then he adds 5/8 of a different colored paint to the can: + 5/8
Now combine:
8 / 8 - 5 / 8 + 5 / 8 = 8/8
The paint can is full, then he removes an amount from the can. He then pours more paint into the can that is equal to the amount he originally removed. Therefore, the paint can remained full.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:Simplifying
0 = 2.5y + -20
Reorder the terms:
0 = -20 + 2.5y
Solving
0 = -20 + 2.5y
Solving for variable 'y'.
Move all terms containing y to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-2.5y' to each side of the equation.
0 + -2.5y = -20 + 2.5y + -2.5y
Remove the zero:
-2.5y = -20 + 2.5y + -2.5y
Combine like terms: 2.5y + -2.5y = 0.0
-2.5y = -20 + 0.0
-2.5y = -20
Divide each side by '-2.5'.
y = 8
Simplifying
y = 8
SO the answer is y=8 I think srry if i get it wrong
