Answer:
Step-by-step explanation: if there are 500 pieces of paper and the entire stack is 1.875 inches tall, you devide the total height by 500. I know Deigo is wrong because you can easily reverse check his work by multiplying 0.015 by the total number of papers 500 you will get 7.5 which is not the height of the stack
1.875/500=0.00375
each piece of paper is 0.00375
240 = 2 × 120
120 = 2 × 60
60 = 2 × 30
30 = 2 × 15
15 = 3 × 5
The 2, 2, 2, 2, 3 and 5 are all the prime factors of 240. So, 2^4 × 3 × 5
1500 = 3 × 500
500 = 5 × 100
100 = 5 × 20
20= 5 × 4
4 = 2 × 2
The 3, 5, 5, 5, 2 and 2 are all the prime factors of 1500. So, 2² + 3 + 5³
Simplifying
25x + -15 = 2y
Reorder the terms:
-15 + 25x = 2y
Solving
-15 + 25x = 2y
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '15' to each side of the equation.
-15 + 15 + 25x = 15 + 2y
Combine like terms: -15 + 15 = 0
0 + 25x = 15 + 2y
25x = 15 + 2y
Divide each side by '25'.
x = 0.6 + 0.08y
Simplifying
x = 0.6 + 0.08y
Associate property
It’s right
