Answer:
• Gayle: 14
• Crystal: 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Let g represent the number of paperclips Gayle has. Then 42/g is the number Crystal has. The relationship between the two numbers is said to be ...
g - (42/g) = 11
Multiplying by g gives ...
g^2 -42 = 11g
g^2 -11g -42 = 0 . . . . subtract 11 g to put into standard form
To factor this, you are looking for two factors of -42 that sum to -11.
-42 = -42·1 = -21·2 = -14·3 = -7·6
You can see that -14 and 3 sum to -11, so the factoring is ...
(g -14)(g +3) = 0
g = 14 . . . . . . . . . . makes the product zero. (The g=-3 solution is extraneous.)
Gayle has 14 paperclips and Crystal has 3.
Answer and Explanation: 35 rounded to the nearest 100 is 0. To round to the nearest hundred, you need to first identify the hundreds that are closest to the number you are rounding. For 35, the closest hundred that is lower than 35 is 0, and the closest 100 that is higher than 35 is 100.

Answer:
10
Step-by-step explanation:
We need to divide 2 3/5 ft by 1/4 ft.
2 3/5 / 1/4 =
= 2 3/5 * 4
= 13/5 * 4
= 52/5
= 10 4/10
Answer: 10
3. Credit Card: (1842.66 - 250) (.145/12) = $19.24
Savings: 250(0.04/12) = $0.83
Difference = 19.24 - 0.83 = $18.41
4. Credit Card: (1842.66 - 500) (.145/12) = $16.22
You will save $18.41 - $16.22 = $2.19 by putting all $500 toward the higher credit card rate.
