We are given statement " gained 20 pounds and loses 15 pounds".
<em>Note: We take plus or positive sign for gain word and we take minus or negative sign for the loses word.</em>
Gained 20 means +20.
Loses 15 mean -15.
Therefore, we can setup an expression as:
<h3>+20 -15.</h3>
20 is a positive number and 15 is a negative number.
Because we have opposite signs of numbers, we would subtract them.
20-15 = 5 pounds.

Before we begin, let's cross out "the small wheel could have an 18 inch diameter". This is useless information and should be disregarded to avoid confusion. Lots of questions include extraneous information to make you second guess yourself, so it is important to be aware of what the question is asking you and what you need in order to answer it.
The formula for circumference is

x diameter. With this formula, we can substitute the value of the diameter, 52, into the equation.
Circumference = 3.14 x 52
Circumference = 163.28
Final Answer: the circumference of the big wheel is 163.28 inches

Sheila is incorrect! I think what she did is think the 38 was actually a 35, which WOULD of made her statement true, but since it's 38, she's very incorrect. Sheila should be using the quotient for the size of each piece. 38 divided by 5 is 7.6. The correct answer is 7.6 inches.
Answer:
Kevin can afford to have 15 guests at his party.
Step-by-step explanation:
You know that Kevin's party costs $52, so you can subtract 52 from 97, which is 45. So, he can spend $45 dollars on guests. $45 divided by 3, the amount it takes for each guest, to get 15.
