Let's solve your equation step-by-step
16.8-(-23.72)-31.3=x
Step 1:simplify both sides of the equation
16.8-(-23.72)-31.3=x
16.8+23.72+-31.3=x
(16.8+23.72+-31.3)=x (combine like terms)
9.22=x
9.22=x
Step 2: flip the equation
Answer: x=9.22
Answer:
30 students
Step-by-step explanation:
80% of N = 24 where N is the total number of students
So
.80 N = 24
N = 24 / .80 = 30

Answer:
B) 
x units
Step-by-step explanation:
Let quadrilateral KMPT be a rectangle with dimensions 12 units by 8 units. Then its perimeter would be equal to:
Perimeter of a rectangle = 2 (l + b)
where: l is the length = 12 units and b is the breadth = 8 units. So that:
Perimeter of KMPT = 2 (12 + 8)
= 40 units
Dilating KMPT by a scale factor of would create K'M'P'T' of dimensions; × 12 units by × 8 units. Thus, the dimensions of K'M'P'T' would be 9 units by 6 units.
Perimeter of K'M'P'T' = 2 (l + b)
= 2(9 + 6)
= 30 units
Comparing the perimeters of KMPT and K'M'P'T', the perimeter of K'M'P'T' would be × perimeter of KMPT.
Therefore, if the perimeter of KMPT is x units, then;
perimeter of K'M'P'T' = * x units
= x units
If 1 serving = 1/4 pound, then 4 servings = 1 pound. 6 pounds *4=24 servings. That leaves 1/3 of a pound. 1/4 pound is less than 1/3 pound, so you get one more serving.
That makes 25 servings, and 1/12 of a pound left over.
How do you know it is 1/12? Well, LCD (lowest common denominator) shows that 1/3-1/4= 4/12-3/12=1/12.
