Answer:
x=5
Step-by-step explanation:
Well all i did was guess a random number from 1-10 so I could see what numbers make the equation bigger than -18 and the fist thing I guessed was 5 so this is what I did
8-6*5=-22
And them I said let me see if any multiples equal -18 so I went to for and did this
8-6*4=-16
That's when I guessed the answer if i looked at the sign correctly!
48/4= 12 pens per box
12*9 = 108 pens in 9 boxes
8 ÷ 11 = 0.72727272...
Therefore, decimal '72' is repeating
We are given a scale that for every 1 in on the plan, the actual length will 6.5 ft.
The maximum distance across the pond on the plan is 9.75 in. So that means we will need to take 6.5 ft 9.75 times. So our answer is
6.5*9.75=63.375 ft. That's the answer.
We can visualize this a different way
1 in = 6.5 ft
9.75 in = x ft
And from here it's a little more clear to see what needs to be done.
Hope this helped!
