1)Shade 56 of the cubes
2)0.056
Answer: 
Step-by-step explanation:
Move all terms to one side
Simplify 
Split the second term
Factor out common terms in the first two terms, then in the last two terms.
Factor out the common term 
Let us assume the larger number = x
Let us assume the smaller number = y
Then
x + y = 3 3/4
x + y = 15/4
And
x/3 = (2y/3) + 1/2
x = [3 * (2y/3)] + (3/2)
= 2y + (3/2)
Now putting the value of x from the second equation to the first , we get
x + y = 15/4
2y + (3/2) + y = 15/4
3y = (15/4) - (3/2)
3y = (15 - 6)/4
3y * 4 = 9
12y = 9
y = 9/12
= 3/4
Now putting the value of y in the first equation, we get
x + y = 15/4
x + (3/4) = (15/4)
x = (15/4) - (3/4)
= (15 - 3)/4
= 12/4
= 3
So the value of x or the larger number is 3 and the value of y or the smaller number is 3/4.
Answer:
x= -4
Step-by-step explanation:
distribute
combine like terms
subtract 4x from both sides
subtract 8 from both sides
divide both sides by -2
From the given question we come to know of certain number of facts and they are:
At 1:00 PM the water level of the pond was = 13 inches
At 1:30 PM the water level of the pond was = 18 inches
At 2:30 PM the water level of the pond was = 28 inches
From the above given facts we can easily find the amount of water changing every half an hour.
Amount of increase in water from 1:00PM to 1:30 PM = (18 - 13) inches
= 5 inches
Amount of increase in water level from 1:30PM to 2:30PM = (28 -18) inches
= 10 inches
From the above two deductions we can come to the conclusion the the constant rate of change in water level is 5 inches for every half an hour.
