Compatible numbers are numbers which are easy to do mental calculation. For example is when doing division like 25 and 5, 100 and 10, and 36 and 6.

First, we know that: 7 pounds=5 pounds + 2 pounds

                                or 7=5+2

In mathematics, the word “of” means to multiply. So:

                                grapes given away = 7  * (2/5)

Replacing 7 with 5 and 2:

                                                                = (5+2)*(2/5)

Using the distribution principle:

                                                =5*(2/5) + 2*(2/5)

                                                =2+ 4/5

                                =2 4/5

So grapes given away is 2 4/5 pounds.

<span>2/5 is close to 1/2, and it is easy to find 1/2 of 7 mentally. Half of 7 is 3.5, so Martin gave away about 3.5 pounds.</span>

natali 33 [55]

Answer:

4.609 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

The hypotenuse is the ladder because it is the slanted side. 3m is one of the other side lengths

A^2 + B^2 = C^2

3^2 + B^2 = 5.5^2

9 + B^2 = 30.25

30.25 - 9= B^2

21.25= B^2

4.609=B

The revenue from selling x shirts is f(x) = 15x.
Virty [35]

Answer:

p(x) = 8x - 20

Step-by-step explanation:

revenue from selling x shirts is f(x) = 15x

The cost of buying x shirts is c(x) = 7x + 20

p(x) = f(x) - c(x)

To solve this, we need to substitute value of f(x) and c(x) in formula for p(x)

p(x) = f(x) - c(x)

p(x) = 15x -( 7x + 20)

=>  p(x) = 15x - 7x -20

=>  p(x) = 8x -20

Thus, profit is p(x) = 8x - 20.
