The answer is 5 3/4.............
Answer:
1. 1.6x has a variable which means an unknown number
2. 5 more than 0.10 times a number
Step-by-step explanation:
A variable is an unknown number represented by a letter. It provides a way to write a relationship in the real world without knowing all the values involved, 1.6x means 1.6 times an unknown number mathematically. A real world example would be a percent growth of 60% on an unknown price - 1.6x.
5 + 0.10x means 5 more than 0.10 times an unknown number. A real world example here would be "10% off a sale plus $5 coupon". We don't know the price of the item but we do know it is 10% off and we get $5 off. Once we know the price we input it int for x and find the total discount.
1.5 because 2/12=1/6 9 x (1/6) =1.5 gallons of water.
