Simplifying
P + -21 + -21 = 34 + -21
-21 + -21 + P = 34 + -21
Combine like terms: -21 + -21 = -42
-42 + P = 34 + -21
Combine like terms: 34 + -21 = 13
-42 + P = 13
Solving
-42 + P = 13
Solving for variable 'P'.
Move all terms containing P to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '42' to each side of the equation.
-42 + 42 + P = 13 + 42
Combine like terms: -42 + 42 = 0
0 + P = 13 + 42
P = 13 + 42
Combine like terms: 13 + 42 = 55
P = 55
Simplifying
P = 55
5.28 / 12 = 0.44 per oz
7.96 / 18 = 0.4422 rounds to 0.44 per oz
technically, by rounding to the nearest cent, they are the same cost.
#2: 4 cans : $2.36 = 13 : $7.67 SCALE FACTOR: $7.67 divided by $2.36 = 3.25
Use the SF to multiply the missing information.
So 4 cans x 3.25 = 13
YOU CAN BUY 13 CANS FOR $7.67
#4: 2 eggs: 1 1/2 cups of eggs : 10 pancakes = : : 35 pancakes
SCALE FACTOR: 35 pancakes divided by 10 pancakes= 3.5
Use the SF to multiply the missing information
So: 2 eggs x 3.5 = 7
7 EGGS WILL BE NEEDED TO MAKE 10 PANCAKES
#6: 54 pounds: 1 acre = pounds: 12.5 acres
SCALE FACTOR: 12.5 divided by 1 acre= 12.5
Use the SF to find out the mussing information
So, 54 pounds x 12.5 = 675 pounds
THE FARMER CAN HARVEST 675 POUNDS WITH 12.5 ACRES OF FIELD
#8: 90 miles: 120 minutes (5 hours) = 225 miles : 300 minutes (5 hours)
SCALE FACTOR: 225 miles divided by 90 miles = 2.5
Use the SF to figure out the missing information
So, 120 minutes multiplied by 2.5 = 300 minutes (5 hours)
IT WILL TAKE 5 HOURS TO DRIVE 225 MILES
