Answer:

If 20 is 100% then 20 divided by 4 equals 5 so 20 lbs. - 5 lbs. = 15 lbs. the baker has 15 pounds of sugar left.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a wonderfully easy problem. So, you start off by dividing the pounds of sugar by the denominator which is 4. So:

20 / 4 = ?

Then you that product and multiply it by the numerator, which is 3 in this case and you get your answer.

Thanks!

What number must be added to 15,-6, and 12 to have a mean of 5? Explain.

Genrish500 [490]

You need to add a -1

We can find this by setting up the equation like so

x + (-6) + 12 + 15 / 4 = 5

x + 21 = 20

x = 20 -21

x = -1

Now if we insert -1 where x is located in the equation, you will get a means of 5

Nookie1986 [14]

(4⁰)-⁹

= 4⁰×-⁹

= 4⁰

(-4⁹)²

= -4⁹×²

= -4¹⁸

=( -4)¹⁸

(4-³)-³

= 4-³ × -³

= 4⁹

(4⁶)-³

= 4⁶ × -³

= 4-¹⁸

= 1/4¹⁸
