Answer:
x = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
The sum of segments is used:
EF +FG = EG
3x +(5x +16) = 11x -2 . . . . substitute given expressions
8x +18 = 11x . . . . . . . . add 2
18 = 3x . . . . . . . . subtract 8x
6 = x . . . . . . divide by 3
The value of the variable is 6.
__
<em>Check</em>
The segment lengths are ...
EF = 3x = 3·6 = 18
FG = 5x+16 = 5·6 +16 = 46
EG = 11x -2 = 11·6 -2 = 64 = 18+46 . . . answer is correct
Question #25:
One way to solve this is by multiplying the number of packages per serving by the number of guests.
1/4 * 16 = 4 packages to serve 16 guests. This means he doesn't have enough.
A second way to solve this is by diving the number of packages by the number of packages it takes to make on serving.
3 1/2 ÷ 1/4 = 14 guests he can serve. This means he doesn't have enough.
Question #26:
First, find common denominators.
2/3 = 8/12
1/4 = 3/12
Second, subtract.
8/12 - 3/12 = 5/12
Therefore, the tank is 5/12 full at the end of the trip.
Question #27:
1/2 is cut off then 1/3 is cut off. This means 3/6 was cut off to bundle newspapers, then 1/6 was cut off to make parcel. In all, 4/6 was cut off the original string. Afterwards, 2/6 was left over. So, just multiply; 2 * 3 = 6.
Therefore, the original string was as a total of 6 meters.
Best of Luck!
Answer:
Jane is 52 7/40 inches tall
Step-by-step explanation:
What you do is you subtract 1 3/8 from 54 3/4 which gives you Carl's height, which is 53 3/8.
Lastly, you subtract 1 1/5 from 53 3/8 which is 52 7/40.
