Answer:
4
Step-by-step explanation:
4x=16
x=4
7% of 232,000 is 16,240
232,000 + 16,240 is 248,240
so 248,240 is the answer
Answer:
Total crackers on the plate are 12
Step-by-step explanation:
Manuel ate crackers = 
His brother ate crackers = 
Crackers left on the plate = 5
We need to find how many crackers were there on the plate.
Let x be the total crackers on the plate
So, we can write the equation

Because 1/3 and 1/4 crackers are eaten and 5 are left so, we subtract 1/3x and 1/4x from x and equal it to 5

So, we get x = 12
Therefore, total crackers on the plate are 12
Answer:
15 blocks
Step-by-step explanation:
We can use the Pythagorean theorem to solve the right triangle
a^2 + b^2 = c^2 where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse
12^2 + 9^2 = h^2
144+81 = h^2
225= h^2
Taking the square root of each side
sqrt(225) = sqrt(h^2)
15 = h

Answer: 155 inches</h3>
This is equivalent to approximately 12.917 feet.
===================================================
Work Shown:
(10 inches)/(2 days) = (x inches)/(31 days)
10/2 = x/31
10*31 = 2*x ... cross multiply
310 = 2x
2x = 310
x = 310/2
x = 155
Keep in mind that this water is being drained on a fairly continuous basis. This means that not all of the water is sticking around (we'd hope not anyway) at the same moment in time.
Note: 155 inches = 155/12 = 12.917 feet approximately.
--------------------------
Alternative method:
If the town got 10 inches in 2 days, this means it rains at a unit rate of 10/2 = 5 inches per day.
Multiply that by 31 days and we get 5*31 = 155 inches of total rain.
