Answer:
<u>There were 12 gold coins in the chest at the start.</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Let's review the information given to us to answer the question correctly:
x = Number of gold coins in a chest
1/2x = Number of gold coins taken by the captain
1/4x = Number of gold coins taken by Sally
3 = Number of gold coins left
2. How many coins were in the chest at the start?
Let's write the following equation to solve for x:
1/2x + 1/4x + 3 = x
2x + x + 12 = 4x (Lowest Common Denominator is 4)
4x - 2x - x = 12 (Like terms)
x = 12
<u>There were 12 gold coins in the chest at the start.</u>
Dont spend it. Spend less. Dont give it away.
Answer: 46.05
Step-by-step explanation:
1/3 * 3.14 * 4 * 11 = 46.05 (rounded to the tenth)
- First of all, a 2 foot kangaroo is casting a 7 foot shadow.
- Next we do 7 divided by 2 which equals 3.5.
- Since we know the shadow is going to be 3.5x the object size we have to divide its shadow by 3.5
- 14 divided by 3.5 is 4 so the Eucalyptus tree is 4ft long
<u><em> Your answer=4ft </em></u>

Hope this helps!
