ANSWER: 38.25 pounds

EXPLANATION:

One gallon weighs 8.5 pounds. In 4 1/2 there are 4 gallons so we’re need to figure out how much 4 gallons weigh. To do this multiply the weight of one gallon by the number of gallons.

4 x 8.5 = 34

So we know that 4 gallons is 34 pounds

Now we still have half a pound we need to find the weight of. To find the weight of half a pound divide the weight of one gallon by 2.

8.5 divided by 2 = 4.25

Now we add the 4 pounds and the 1/2 to get the weight of them.

34 + 4.25 = 38.25

So the answer is 38.25 pounds

If you need more of an explanation let me know I can try to explain better :)

GOOD LUCK WITH THE REST IF YOUR WORK! :)

Pratap Puri rowed 14 miles down a river in 2 hours, but the return trip took him 3 and one half hours. Find the rate Pratap can

SOVA2 [1]

speed of current is 1.5 mi/hr

Answer:

let the rate in still water be x and rate of the current be y.

speed down the river is:

speed=distance/time

speed=14/2=7 mi/h

speed up the river is:

speed=(14)/(3.5)=4 mi/hr

thus total speed downstream and upstream will be:

x+y=7...i

x-y=4.......ii

adding the above equations i and ii we get:

2x=11

x=5.5 mi/hr

thus

y=5-5.5=1.5 mi/r

thus the speed in still waters is 5.5 mi/hr

speed of current is 1.5 mi/hr

Karen gave an equal amount of m and m's to herself and four friends. Each person receives m and m's equivalent to the largest on

Mariana [72]

Answer:

Karen had 45 m and m's candy.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of m and m's candy be 'x'.

Now given:

Karen gave an equal amount of m and m's to herself and four friends.

So we can say that;

Number of people m and m's candy distributed equally = 5

Also Given:

Each person receives m and m's equivalent to the largest one digit number.

Now we know that;

Largest one digit number is 9.

So we can say that;

Each person receives m and m's = 9

We need to find number of m and m's Karen have.

Solution:

So we can say that;

Total number of m and m's Karen have is equal to Number of people m and m's candy distributed equally multiplied by number of m and m's can each person receives.

framing in equation form we get;

Total number of m and m's Karen had = $9\times5 = 45$

Hence Karen had 45 m and m's candy.

A movie theater charges $5 for an adult ticket and $2 for a child's ticket. One Saturday, the theater sold 785 tickets for $3280

Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

5x + 2y = 3280

x+y = 785

x = 785 - y

5*(785 - y) + 2y = 3280

3925 - 5y + 2y = 3280

3925 - 3280 - 3y = 0

645 = 3y

y=645/3=215

x=785-215 = 570

Adults - 570 tickets, childs - 215 tickets.

570*5 + 215*2 = 3280

570 adult and 215 child and 3,280 in total

if i could get brainliest that would be great
