Steven kept 27 paper clips for himself with means 136 paper clips are left. (163-27) now divide 136 by 8 you get 17. Each friend receives 17 paper clips.
Answer:
x=2.5
Step-by-step explanation:
the first thing you want to do is simplify like terms.
you could say this is as 4(x+7)=38
this can easily be solved algebraically.
first use distributive property on the four
this leaves you with 4x+28=38
next, subtract 28 from both sides
4x=10
now divide everything by four and you get x=2.5
Answer:
C. 2.0 < t < 2.5
Step-by-step explanation:
time = distance / speed
The circumference of the lake is given by ...
C = πd = 2π miles ≈ 6.28 miles
Then Johanna's time is ...
(6.28 mi)/(3 mi/h) ≈ 2.09 h
This time is in the interval (2, 2.5), so matches choice C.
___
<em>Alternate solution</em>
If we take pi to be 3, then this boils down to ...
2×3/3 = 2 . . . hours
Pi is on the order of 5% more than 3, so her time will be on the order of 5% more than 2 hours, or just above 2, but not as great as 2.5 hours. This sort of estimating can get you to the correct answer without a calculator.
The answer would be 1,053
