First off we have x number of students in the robotics club, 12 more in the Science club, and 84 students in total. This means:
Robotics Club = x
Science Club = (x + 12)
Total = 84
Okay, so here's the equation:
x + (x + 12) = 84 ~ Add like terms.
2x + 12 = 84 ~ Subtract 12 by both sides.
2x = 72 ~ Divide both sides by 2.
x = 36 ~ Meaning that the Robotics Club has 36 members.
At this point you can do: 84 - 36 = 48 which gives you the number of members in the Science Club, though...:
36 + (36 + 12) = 84 ~ Add the two in the parenthesis to get your answer.
36 + 48 = 84 ~ 48 is the number of Students in the Science Club.
84 = 84
In conclusion: The Science Club has 48 students.
Hope that helps. ^ ^

Answer:
504 km
Step-by-step explanation:
divide 180 by 15 (because 3 hours is 180 minutes)
after you divide you get 12
then multiply 12 by the 42 kilometers and you get 504
The answer should be 117.6. tell the teacher that the amount of meters is wrong or the answers are wrong
sorry :(
Hi there!
Question 1:
For this, we are taking away 1/4 yards of spring from 7/8 yards. This is essentially just subtracting 1/4 from 7/8. This then gives us the equation:

Now, to subtract these, we want to make it so the denominators are the same, or the numbers on the lower half are the same. (One way to explain why this is true is:
). Now, to make it so the denominators are the same, we can multiply the second fraction, 1/4, by 2/2 as 2/2 is essentially 1, and multiplying by 1 will get the same result, just with a denominator switched in this case. Doing this, we get:


Now, subtracting the numerators, we get:
yards of string will remain.
Question 2:
For this, we are combining these two thicknesses, and thus we add 1/4 to 7/12. This gives us the equation:

Now, we again want to make it so the denominators are the same. (Here's a similar proof but for addition this time:
). Now, to make the denominators the same, we can multiply the first fraction, 1/4, by 3/3 (also equivalent to 1). Doing this, we get:


, which is equivalent to (dividing both the top and the bottom by 2)
inches.
Hope this helps!
