Answer:
2 2/3
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number be represented by x. Then the problem statement is telling you ...
4 5/9 = 2 1/3 + (5/6)x
You can isolate the x term by subtracting 2 1/3 from both sides of the equation. (The properties of equality require that the same operation be performed on both sides of the equation.)
(4 5/9) - (2 3/9) = (2 3/9) -(2 3/9) +(5/6)x
2 2/9 = (5/6)x
The definition of the multiplicative inverse tells you that the coefficient of x can be made to be 1 if the term is multiplied by (6/5). We must do that to both sides of the equation.
(6/5)(2 2/9) = (6/5)(5/6)x
(6/5)(20/9) = x . . . . simplify
120/45 = x . . . . . . do the multiplication
8/3 = x = 2 2/3 . . . . . . . reduce the fraction
The number is 2 2/3.

<em>Additional comment</em>
The number we're looking for is multiplied by 5/6 and the result has 2 1/3 added to it. To find the number, we "undo" these operations, in reverse order. We undo the addition by subtracting the amount that was added. We undo the multiplication by multiplying by the inverse of that factor.
This is the sort of logic that you would use to fill in the blank for ...
7 = 1 + 3×___
You probably recognize that this breaks down into two problems:
7 = 1 + ___ . . . . . (6 goes in the blank)
and
6 = 3×___
You may notice that for all of these problems, a good knowledge of addition and multiplication facts is useful.
Answer:
131
Step-by-step explanation:
8 * 12 = 96
7 * 5 = 35
96 + 35 = 131
Answer:
it would take it 2 hours to make 600 donuts, it makes 5 donuts a minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
Simple math.
3000/10=300 which means 300 donut per hour.
300 x 2 = 600.
300 / 60 = 5.
Answer:
The minimum amount of breaking strain the crane can handle is 6350 kg. (Since it is measured to 2 sig. figs, 6349 kg would round down to 6300 kg, hence the min. is 6350 kg.)
The maximum weight of each crate would be 94 kg. (Since it is measured to the nearest 10 kg, 95 kg would round up to 100 kg, hence the max. is 94 kg.)
Therefore, the greatest number of crates that can be safely lifted would be (6350/94) crates which is 67.5 crates, which rounded down is 67 crates.
All numbers are taken as integers in this answer.
