Hello! So, when you know your fractions and percents, you know that about 33% equals 1/3. 31 is close to 33, so the best estimate for 31% of 9 is 3. When you solve it on a calculator, 9 * 31% (0.31) is 2.79, which rounds off to 3 when rounded to the nearest whole number. The answer is B: 3.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The problem statement tells us ...
8x = y +3
7x = y -4
Subtracting the second equation from the first gives ...
x = 7
Then ...
y = 7x +4 = 7·7 +4 = 53
There are 7 people, and 53 coins are required for purchase.
We have been given that Judy’s brother Sam has a collection of 96 comic books.
We have been asked to find the 10 ways Sam could divide his comic books into equal groups.
This can be done as follows:
96 can be written as .
Thus, we can either have 2 groups of 48 comics or 48 groups of 2 comics. As we can see we have 2 ways to divide the comic books in equal groups.
Likewise, 96 can also be written as . Here, we can similarly see that we can either have 3 groups of 32 comics or 32 groups of 3 comics. As we can again see we have 2 more ways to divide the comic books in equal groups, taking the total number of ways to 4.
Continuing in this manner we will see that we can have 4 groups of 24 or 24 groups of 4, 6 groups of 16 or 16 groups of 6 and lastly 12 groups of 8 or 8 groups of 12 comic books, thus taking the count to a total of 10 ways in which Sam can divide his comic books into equal groups.
A= (a+b/2) × h

First, we need to add 2/6 and 2/5.
2/6 can be simplified to 1/3
We need to have 1/3 and 2/5 have the same denominator. 3 and 5's LCM (least common multiply) is 15.
Multiply both the numerator and denominator of 1/3 by 5. This equals 5/15.
Multiply both the numerator and denominator of 2/5 by 3. This equals 6/15.
5/15 plus 6/15 is 11/15. This means that Jack's 6000 dollars is 4/15.
Let's say that x is the total amount invested by all three.
6000/x would equal 4/15.
Solve this by multiply 6000 by 15 and 4 by x and making these two equal each other.
90000 would equal 4x. Divide both sides by 4 to get x.
90000 divided by 4 would be 22500.
4/15 is the fraction by Jack
22500 is the total amount invested by all 3
