179 students in 3rd grade, 189 4th graders, and 209 5th graders. 577 students total!
This means that the number is positive.
The absolute value is the distance away from 0 the number is.
So 1's absolute value would be 1, yet -5's absolute value would be 5.
So the number that's equal to its absolute value is positive, and the one that's not is negative.
So if you subtract 2 from the positive number, it must turn negative.
So 1 is a number that satisfies these conditions.
60.44 is greater than 60.3
-you can see this when you subtract 60.3 from 60.44 this would leave a 0.11 which is a positive number.
-thus meaning 60.44 is larger/greater.
77 unicorns, because yesterday the ratio was 6:5 and today it is 3:4. If you add the numbers for both ratios together, you get 11 and 7. Finding the LCM of these two gives 77 (because 7 and 11 are both prime).
You find the LCM of the sums because when you find values based on ratios, you divide value by the sum of the ratio.
e.g. I have 100 fruits. The ratio of apples to oranges is 2:3. How many apples are there?
To solve this you'd add 2 and 3 (5), divide 100 by 5 (20), multiply that by 2 (40) because that's the ratio of apples to oranges.
In this case, you do the reverse. So If I have 77 unicorns, then yesterday there were (77/11 = 7, 7*6= 42, 7*5= 35) 42 green unicorns and 35 yellow. The sum of 42 and 35 is 77. If you do this process with the other ratio you'll get similar results as well.
Answer:
10 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Use the volume formula, V = lwh, to solve for w
Plug in the values we know:
V = lwh
250 = (5)(w)(5)
250 = 25w
10 = w
So, the width is 10 feet
