The best way to multiply complicated problems mentally* is to break them into chunks.
Start with 20 times 8 to get 160, and then 8 times 5 to get 40. Add these together to get 200. 200 times 3 is 600, and 20 times 200 is 4000. Add these together to get your final answer, 4600.
In other words 8 x 20 + 8 x 5 = 200 200 x 3 + 200 x 20 = 4600
*I assumed you meant mentally, because otherwise you'd just multiply longhand, multiplying two of the three numbers and then multiplying their product with the third.
Step-by-step explanation:
3/4 × 3/3 = 9/12
3/4 × 2/2 = 6/8
We know there is 330 mg of caffeine per 16-ounce serving. So if we want 8-ounce servings:
330 mg : 2 = 165 mg
Also we have to consume a maximum of 600 mg.
165 mg * 3 = 495 mg < 600 mg
165 mg * 4 = 660 mg > 600 mg
Answer: Someone could drink 3 full 8-ounce servings in a day and still stay below the limit.
Answer:
P= $3.5x -$30
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of roses Thomas bought and sold be x.
Hence the total selling price would be;
$3.5 × x= $3.5x
The profit = selling price-expenses
P= $3.5x -$30
