Diego's family spends $87 on 4 tickets to the fair and a $39 dinner.
svlad2 [7]

Answer: b. Lin buys a pack of 87 pencils. She gives 39 to her teacher and shared the remaining pencils between herself and 3 friends.

Step-by-step explanation:

Lin buys 87 pencils which is why the entire number line adds up to 87.

She gave 39 of these pencils to her teacher which s why there is a section of the number line that is unlike the rest and is 39 in number.

The rest of the number line is a set of 4 spaces which are equal.

Lin shared the remaining pencils between herself and 3 friends which means she shared the pencils with 4 people. These four equal quantities of pencils are the 4 spaces.

Step2247 [10]

Answer:

12 months in a year

6 is half a month so we're going off of 6 months.

So:

821*0.15= 123.15

821- 123.15= 697.85

697.85*0.15= 104.6775

697.85-104.6775= 593.1725

593.1725*0.15= 88.975875

593.1725-88.975875= 504.196625

504.196625 *0.15= 75.62949375

504.196625- 75.62949375= 428.56713125

428.56713125*0.15= 64.2850696875

428.56713125-64.2850696875 = 364.282061562

364.282061562*0.15= 54.6423092344

364.282061562-54.6423092344 = 309.639752328

So its 310 fish.

Someone help me please!
andriy [413]

Answer:

To solve the first inequality, you need to subtract 6 from both sides of the inequality, to obtain 4n≤12. This can then be cancelled down to n≤3 by dividing both sides by 4. To solve the second inequality, we first need to eliminate the fraction by multiplying both sides of the inequality by the denominator, obtaining 5n>n^2+4. Since this inequality involves a quadratic expression, we need to convert it into the form of an^2+bn+c<0 before attempting to solve it. In this case, we subtract 5n from both sides of the inequality to obtain n^2-5n+4<0. The next step is to factorise this inequality. To factorise we must find two numbers that can be added to obtain -5 and that can be multiplied to obtain 4. Quick mental mathematics will tell you that these two numbers are -4 and -1 (for inequalities that are more difficult to factorise mentally, you can just use the quadratic equation that can be found in your data booklet) so we can write the inequality as (n-4)(n-1)<0. For inequalities where the co-efficient of n^2 is positive and the the inequality is <0, the range of n must be between the two values of n whereby the factorised expresion equals zero, which are n=1 and n=4. Therefore, the solution is 1<n<4 and we can check this by substituting in n=3, which satisfies the inequality since (3-4)(3-1)=-2<0. Since n is an integer, the expressions n≤3 and n<4 are the same. Therefore, we can write the final answer as either 1<n<4, or n>1 and n≤3.
