Answer:
a = 16
Step-by-step explanation:
24:8 is the ratio
simplify into 3:8
6 ÷ 3 = 2
multiply the ratio by 2 to get a=16
We are given the following information:
<em />
<em>each person uses 3/8 a box</em>
<em>there are 6 boxes</em>
Because each box is 
, and there are 6 boxes, we know that 1 person is 
, or 
.
In order to find how many people can use the 6 boxes, we can divide it by 3 (for each use):
48 / 3 = 16
Therefore, 16 people can share the worms.

For the top question, the answer is D
Because 16 divide by 4, equals 4
Brazil population: 1.907×
Mexico population 1.123×
To find how much more the population was in Brazil than in mexico, you would subtract the Brazil population to Mexico's population:
The 's would not cancel out because they are representing further decimal places that aren't written, so you would subtract 1.907 and 1.123.
1.907 - 1.123= 0.784
Brazil's population is 0.784× larger than Mexico.
Answer:
The bench was $375 and the garden table was $284.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the value of the bench, if the table is 91 less than the value of the bench then the equation can be:
x + x-91 = 659
2x -91 = 659
Add 91 to both sides of the equation to isolate the 2x:
2x - 91 + 91 = 659 + 91
2x = 750
Divide both sides by 2 to get 1x:
2x ÷ 2 = 750 ÷ 2
x = 375
This means the bench was $375 and the garden table was $284.
Hope this helps!
