Abdullah and Kanna are working on the same problem.

Mathematics
1 answer:
Leona [35]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Abdullah is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

The bottle contained originally 12 fl oz, so 12 fl oz is 100%.

The box now contains 20% more, so now it contains 120% of 12 fl oz.

120% * 12 fl oz = 1.2 * 12 fl oz = 14.4 fl oz

Also, 20% is 1/5. Abdullah divided 12 oz into 5 equal parts, and then he added one more 1/5. He interpreted the problem correctly. The amount in the new bottle is the amount of the old bottle plus 20% of that old amount.

Kanna considers the original amount to be 80%. When he adds another 20%, he is adding 1/4 of 12 which is too much. That is why he gets an incorrect answer that is to high. He interpreted the problem incorrectly. For him, the old bottle has 20% less than the new bottle. That is incorrect.

Abdullah is correct.

Answer:

1. y + 10 - 3/2y = -y/2 + 10

2. 2r+ 7r-r - 9 = 8r - 9

3.  7 + 4p-5+p+2q = 2 + 5p + 2q

Step-by-step explanation:

basically you can add terms that have the same variable

integers can be added together, Xs can be added, Zs, Ys, As, Bs, Cs, you get the point

1. y + 10 - 3/2y = -y/2 + 10

2. 2r+ 7r-r - 9 = 8r - 9

3.  7 + 4p-5+p+2q = 2 + 5p + 2q (do not add different variables p and q ) together

try 4-6 on your own to get this skill down, if you need help with those just let me know

The foot of a ladder is placed 6 feet from a wall if the top of the ladder rests 8 feet up on the wall how long is the ladder?
Vlada [557]
Try to imagine this word problem, there is a wall and a ladder leaning against it, the space from the bottom of the ladder is labeled 6 and the length of the height the ladder reaches on the wall is 8. Imagine this as a right triangle now, where the length of the ladder is the hypotenuse and the length of the legs of the triangle is 6 and 8. Because we know this, we can use the Pythagorean theorem, a^2+b^2=c^2
We then plug in the values and you get 6^2+8^2=c^2
When you simplify, you get 36+64=c^2 which is c^2=100
When you solve for c, you get c=10 which would be the length of the ladder :)

System of Equations<br><br> y=-x-1<br> y+x=3<br><br> Solve?
ozzi
Solve by substitution

\sf{y=-x-1}
\sf{y+x=3}

Just plug in y=-x-1 into y+x=3

So we get:

\sf{(-x-1)+x=3}

Simplify that:

\sf{-1=3}

And since that is not true, that means this system of equations has no solutions!

zysi [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Giving the following information:

Hourly rate= $7.25

Total earned= $348

<u>To calculate the number of hours worked, we need to use the following formula:</u>

Total earned= hourly rate*number of hours

number of hours= total earned / hourly rate

number of hours= 348 / 7.25

number of hours= 48 hours
