Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Compatible numbers are defined as the numbers which are very close to the numbers that they are replacing that divides evenly into each other.

In the context, we have to estimate the quotient using the compatible numbers in order to estimate 245 divided by 3.

So, estimating 245 as 240 and 3 as 30.

Here, 240 is very close to 245 and 30 is close to 3. So the quotient is the result when we divide 240 by 30 and it divides evenly into 240.

We first divide the non zero parts of each number i.e. 24 by 3 to get the first part of the estimate.

Then we add on the zero if there were left in the problem to get your estimate.

Therefore,

240 / 30 = 8

So here, the quotient is estimated as 8.

Rewrite as a product of two factors: 3 + 18d + 21y

Vlada [557]

Answer:

the Expression is :

(3) × (1 + 6d + 7y)

Step-by-step explanation:

here's the solution : -

=》

$3 + 18d + 21y$

=》

$(3 \times 1 )+ (3 \times 6d) + (3 \times 7y)$

now, since 3 is common in all terms let's take it out.

=》

$3 \times (1 + 6d + 7y)$

=》so, ,we got the above expression as product of 3 and ( 1 + 6d + 7y ) as factors.

In a sale, the cost of a coat is reduced from 85 to 67.5

IgorC [24]

Answer:

I’m assuming you’re talking about what percentage was taken off, so in that case the answer would be approximately 20.6%

Step-by-step explanation:
67.5/85 X/100

cross multiply then divide by 100 to find for x and you get 79.4117

then, subtract this number from 100 and you will get 20.6%

TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

I believe the answer would be 1/4 of the sub. Because they asked about the whole sub. And it says he ate 1/4 of the amount of that half of the sub for snack. So out of the whole sandwich it would be 1/4!

If it’s not the answer your looking for you can take it off...
