Answer:
The weight of cat is <u>14 pounds</u> and the weight of kitten is <u>4 pounds</u>.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Callie has a new kitten. It can weigh 3 pounds less than half the weight of Callie‘s cat. Together the cat and kitten weigh 18 pounds.
Now, to find the weight of each animal:
Let the cat's weight be 
And the kitten weight = 
Total weight of cat and kitten = 18 pounds.
Now, to set an equation to get the weight of each animal:
<em>Multiplying both sides by 2 we get:</em>
<em />
<em />
<em>Adding both sides by 6 we get:</em>
<em />
<em />
<em>Dividing both sides by 3 we get:</em>
<em />
<em />
<em>The weight of cat = 14 pounds.</em>
Substituting the value of 
to get the kitten's weight:
<em>The kitten's weight = 4 pounds.</em>
Therefore, the weight of cat is 14 pounds and the weight of kitten is 4 pounds.
Answer:
Given:
cherry tree seedlings : 64
peach tree seedlings : 96
64/96 : Simplify this fraction
64 / 8 = 8 / 4 = 2
96 / 8 = 12 / 4 = 3
2 and 3 number of seedlings per row
64 / 2 = 32
96 / 3 = 32
number of rows
The maximum number of rows that the owner can plant is 32 rows with 2 cherry tree seedlings and 3 peach tree seedlings.
Answer:
p = 3.6666(repeating)
Step-by-step explanation:
3/5(p-3)=-4
We simplify the equation to the form, which is simple to understand
3/5(p-3)=-4
Simplifying:
+ 0.6*(p-3)=-4
Reorder the terms in parentheses
+( + 0.6p-1.8)=-4
Remove unnecessary parentheses
+ 0.6p-1.8=-4
We move all terms containing p to the left and all other terms to the right.
+ 0.6p=-4+1.8
We simplify left and right side of the equation.
+ 0.6p=-2.2
We divide both sides of the equation by 0.6 to get p.
p=-3.66666666667
You know the product will be greater than the two factors because multiplication always makes the numbers greater. So 2x12 is 24 and that is greater than the two factors
12.5 (points per game) * 24( games this season) = 300 points
