Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say n such books make up the stack.

If each book is 3/4 inch thick, it contributes 3/4 to the total height of the stack – 24 inches.

==> number of books × 3/4 = 24

(to get this result add the heights of n such book, and equate it to 24. You'll get something like:

3/4 + 3/4 +. . . . n times = 24

And that's what's meant by 3/4 × n = 24)

==> n × 3/4 = 24

multiply both sides by 4

==> n × 3 = 24 × 4

divide both sides by 3

==> n = (24 × 4)/3

==> n = 8 × 4

==> n = 32

We assumed the number of books to be n.

so the answer is:

32 books, each if height 3/4 inch, are required to build a stack 24 inches high.

Answer:

$5\dfrac{1}{2}\ \text{kg}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Plant food used on strawberry plants is

$1\dfrac{2}{3}\ \text{kg}=\dfrac{5}{3}\ \text{kg}$

Plant food used on tomato plants is

$\dfrac{1}{4}\ \text{kg}$

Feeding the strawberry plants two times means

$\dfrac{5}{3}+2\times\dfrac{5}{3}=\dfrac{5}{3}+\dfrac{10}{3}\\ =\dfrac{15}{3}=5\ \text{kg}$

Feeding the tomato plants one more time means

$\dfrac{1}{4}+\dfrac{1}{4}=\dfrac{2}{4}\\ =\dfrac{1}{2}\ \text{kg}$

The plant food he will need is $5+\dfrac{1}{2}=5\dfrac{1}{2}\ \text{kg}$

I Need help plz help me i Sony understand

nydimaria [60]

A. 2, 200, 2000

This is multiplying the number by 10 each time. In other words, just adding an extra zero to the end of it.

b. 340, 0.034

This one is moving the decimal place forward two places. 10^-2, so removing two zeros from the end of it until eventually you reach decimals and have to move the decimal forward twice, which is essentially what you're doing here.

c. 85700, 857, 0.857

In this one, you remove one zero from the end. You move the decimal forward once when you reach the decimals. This would be 10^-1

d. 444000, 4440000, 44400000

In this one, you multiply each one by 10. Add on a zero to each one.

e. 0.095, 9500000, 950000000

You multiply this one by 10^2, so the number increases.

Answer:

To solve, use a simple one-step equation

Known: Number of coins; Number of Nickles.

Unknown: Number of Dimes.

a) To find the number of Dimes

b) Use x (or virtually any letter) to represent the unknown number of dimes

c) 9+x=13

d) Subtract 9 from both sides to cancel out the 9 and isolate the variable on one side. x=4

e) 9+4=13, so yes, the answer is correct
