5a.
18/9 = 12/x
18x = 12(9)...cross multiply
18x = 108
x=108/18
x=6
The correct question is
<span>A student ate 3/20 of all candies and another 1.2 lb. Another student ate 3/5 of the candies and the remaining 0.3 lb. Altogether, what weight of candies did they eat?</span>
let
x-------> total <span>weight of candies
we know that
x=(3/20)*x+1.2+(3/5)*x+0.3
</span>x=(3/20)*x+(3/5)*x+1.5----> multiply by 20----> 20x=3x+12x+30
20x=15x+30
20x-15x=30
5x=30
x=6 lb
the answer is
6 lb
C=1 because you are flipping it over the line so it cant be negative
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's start by decoding this :)
First lets do 60% more than 10; 16 (mental math)
Next, lets do 20% less than 16; x/16 = 80/100 (Equation)
After solving by cross multiplying & then simplifying (make sure both denominators are 100), you should get 12.8 as your final #! Hope this helped.
