Let's rewrite the mixed number as a fractions:
Therefore, the total length will be:
This polynomial has 4 terms
Brayden has 38 bags.
After giving away 15 bags of marbles, Brayden is left with 23 bags.
To find out how many bags he has we do 342 divided by 9 which is 38.
To find out how many marbles are in 15 bags we do 15 x 9 which is 135.
We then do 342 - 135 to find out how many marbles he has left which is 207 and divide 207 by 9 to convert that into bags, which is 23.
Yea. The text book is either wrong or it knows something that we don't. Like as to why they would need to have two more feet. You're right though
