Answer:

  • 1220 cans

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of cans be x

<u>5% of x is 61, solve the equation below for x:</u>

  • x*0.05 = 61
  • x = 61/0.05
  • x = 1220 cans

2(n - 1) + 4n = 2(3n - 1)
Sloan [31]
2(n - 1) + 4n = 2(3n - 1)
2n - 2 + 4n = 6n -2
6n - 2 = 6n - 2 (equal)
6n - 6n = 2 - 2
0 = 0

whatever value you put into the place of n, you'll get 0 = 0

Tom jogged 3/5 on Monday and 2/6 mile on Tuesday. How much farther did Tom jog on Monday than on Tuesday
natali 33 [55]
You will want to subtract the amount he ran on Monday from the amount on Tuesday. In order to subtract fractions, we must set them to the same denominator (bottom number). In order to do this, we must multiply 3/5 by 6/6 (the denominator on tuesday) which gets us 18/30. Then, for Tuesday, we must multiply 2/6 by 5/5 (the denominator on Monday) which is 10/30. Now, we can do Monday-Tuesday, 18/30-10/30 which gets us 8/30, if we simplify this, we get 4/15 :)
