1123 will be a good answer
<em>They took 101 peaches to market.</em>
<u>Check:</u>
In the 1st hour, they sold (101/2 + 1/2) = 102/2 = 51. They had 50 left.
In the 2nd hour, they sold (50/3 + 1/3)=51/3=17. They had (50-17)=33 left.
In the 3rd hour, they sold (33/4 + 3/4) = 36/4 = 9. They had (33-9) = 24 left.
In the final hour, they sold (24/5 + 1/5) = 25/5 = 5. They had (24-5) = 19 left. yay!
Fiona and Camilla took their 19 remaining peaches and went home. Sharing with
their parents and their brother Rowlf, each person had 3.8 peaches for dinner.
There was a lot of activity in the bathroom overnight.
================================================
The key to solving this one is to work it backwards.
-- They had 19 peaches left at the end of the day.
-- During the final hour, the 1/5 of a peach that they sold left them with 19,
so they had 19-1/5 before they sold the 1/5 of a peach.
The 19-1/5 was 4/5 of what they had at the beginning of the final hour.
So, at the beginning of the final hour, they had (5/4)x(19.2) = 24 .
-- During the 3rd hour, the 3/4 of a peach that they sold left them with 24,
so they had 24-3/4 before they sold the 3/4 of a peach.
The 24-3/4 was 3/4 of what they had at the beginning of that hour.
So, at the beginning of the 3rd hour, they had (4/3)x(24.75) = 33 .
Do the same for the 2nd hour.
Then do the same for the 1st hour.
And you'll work your way back up to 101 peaches.
Answer:
x<1
Step-by-step explanation:
You would just subtract 5 from both sides of the equation. The sign does not flip because you are not multiplying or dividing any negative number across the sign. So simply x+5 (-5) < 6 (-5). On the left side the 5 would cancel out. on the other side 6-5 is equal to 1.
Answer: x<1
Answer: The correct option is
(E) 80,000.
Step-by-step explanation: Given that after adding 4,000 gallons of water to a large tank that was already filled to 
of its capacity, the tank was then at 
of its capacity.
We are to find the number of gallons of water that the tank hold when filled to capacity.
Let the tank can hold x gallons of water when filled to capacity.
Then, according to the given information, we have
Thus, the required capacity of the tank is 80,000 gallons of water.
Option (E) is CORRECT.
You flip the sign from > to < only when you are dividing by a negative number and in this case it would be negative 9.
