Question #25:
One way to solve this is by multiplying the number of packages per serving by the number of guests.
1/4 * 16 = 4 packages to serve 16 guests. This means he doesn't have enough.
A second way to solve this is by diving the number of packages by the number of packages it takes to make on serving.
3 1/2 ÷ 1/4 = 14 guests he can serve. This means he doesn't have enough.
Question #26:
First, find common denominators.
2/3 = 8/12
1/4 = 3/12
Second, subtract.
8/12 - 3/12 = 5/12
Therefore, the tank is 5/12 full at the end of the trip.
Question #27:
1/2 is cut off then 1/3 is cut off. This means 3/6 was cut off to bundle newspapers, then 1/6 was cut off to make parcel. In all, 4/6 was cut off the original string. Afterwards, 2/6 was left over. So, just multiply; 2 * 3 = 6.
Therefore, the original string was as a total of 6 meters.
Best of Luck!
I don't really understand the question
Full question:
In a basketball game, Elena scores twice as many points as Tyler. Tyler scores four points fewer than Noah, and Noah scores three times as many points as Mai. If Mai scores 5 points, how many points did Elena score? Explain your reasoning
Answer and explanation:
We start from known to unknown. We know that Mai scored 5 points and so we work from here.
Since Mai scored 5 points and Noah scored three times as many points then Noah's score = 3×5= 15 points
Since Tyler scored four points less than Noah, Noah's score= 15-4= 11 points
Finally Elena's score is twice that of Tyler hence Elena's score =2×11= 22 points
I would say the answer is 95.9 not to sure but I’m pretty confident
