Answer:

24

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of mangoes owned by Tulsa be T and that by Julie be J

If Tulsa has 4 times as many mangoes as Julie then

T = 4J

Tulsa bought 6 more mangoes. She now has 5 time as many mangoes as Julie

T + 6 = 5J

Solve both equations simultaneously by substitution

4J + 6 = 5J

Collect like terms

6 = 5J- 4J

J = 6

Since

T = 4J

T = 4 * 6

= 24

Hence Tulsa had 24 mangoes at first

Mr. Garcia had some blueberries. He sold 2 3/4 kilograms of the blueberries and packed the rest equally into 9 bags. Each bag co

Answer:

Mr. Garcia had 5 kilograms of blueberries at first

Step-by-step explanation:

to make this easiest, we can imagine that we're undoing mr. garcia's actions.

So, we can start by 'unpacking' mr garcia's bags

we know that each of the nine bags had 1/4 kilograms, so we can multiply 1/4 by 9 to find the collective mass packed into bags

(remember, multiplication is repeated addition. we could also add 1/4 + 1/4 + 1/4... nine times, but this would take a while)

so,

1/4  x 9 = 9/4

(9 = 9/1 [if that is how you're used to multiplying a fraction])

Then, he also sold 2 3/4 kilograms

so, we can add 2 3/4 + 9/4 to find the total mass of the blueberries at first

2 3/4 + 9/4 =  2 + 12/4

(12/4 = 3)

2 + 3 = 5

So, Mr. Garcia had 5 kilograms of blueberries at first
