Answer:
60
Step-by-step explanation:
Let s represent the number of stickers Sophia has. Then the number Ethan has is (2/3)s. The transfer of 16 stickers can be described by the equation ...
(s -16)/(2/3s +16) = 1/2 . . . . . sophia/ethan = 1/2 after the transfer
2s -32 = 2/3s +16 . . . . . . . . .cross multiply
4/3s = 48 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . add 32-2/3s
s = (48)(3/4) = 36 . . . . . . . . .multiply by 3/4
Together, the total number of stickers held is s +(2/3)s = (5/3)s.
5/3s = (5/3)(36) = 60 . . . . . total of Sophia's and Ethan's stickers
Together, Sophia and Ethan have 60 stickers.
$20 a week for 10 weeks is:
20*10 = $200
She spends $6.75 each day for 5 days:
6.75*5 = $33.75.
Lets subtract her spending from her savings to find out how much she has left:
$200-$33.75 = $166.25

Write algebraically:
n-5=-1
n=4
The number is 4
There are 2.54 cm in 1 inch. Since we are estimating, we can round the average growth per year to .5 cm which would give you roughly 5 years per inch of diameter (2.5 / .5 = 5). Since we have a tree with a 4 inch diameter, we can estimate the age of the tree is...
4 inches x 5 years/inch = 20 years old.
