Thomas found a board in his dad’s garage. He cut off 15 in. Then he cut the remaining board into 3 equal pieces. Each piece is now 25 in long. How long was the board before he cut it?

What strategy would be best to solve this problem?

Answers

Answer 1
Multiply 25 by 3 (25 • 3) which equals 75, and then you add 15 (75+15) which equals 90. Hope this helped :)

The three oldest children need shoes. You find a store that has shoes on sale. All shoes in the store are marked $10 per pair. You have a choice of “Three for the price of two” or “Buy one and get 25% off the second.” Which of these is the best deal? Explain your reasoning.

Answers

Answer:

3 for the price of 2

Step-by-step explanation:

I had this question

Okay, they all equal 30 bucks. The first one would change into 20 bucks and the other would be Take off 10 by 30, 20,   20 with 25% off is 15. Then 15 + 10 is 25.

First one = 20.

Second one = 25.

Three for the price of two is cheaper.

A line passes through (2, 8) and (4, 12). Which equation best represents the line?
1. y = 1/2x + 6

2. y = 2x + 7

3. y = 2x + 4

4. y = 1/2x + 10

Answers

y=2x+4 because we’re moving up 2 units for every unit we move to the right, and if we plug 0 in for X we end up with the +4
I would say 3 (I am not completely positive, I am not that smart with graphs)

X: (2 + 4) / 2 Equals: 3
Y: (8 + 12) / 2 Equals: 10
Then multiple 3 by 2 get 6, add four, you get 10 which is equal to Y

Kenzie buys hair scrunchies. The cost for 20 scrunchies is $3.00.
The cost, c, for scrunchies is proportional to the number, n, of scrunchies.
Create an equation using n and c.
________________________________________________
Kenzie has $7.25. What is the maximum number of scrunchies she can buy?
______________________________

Answers

Answer:

48

Step-by-step explanation:

20 scrunchies=3 dollars

7.25 dollars = ?

1 dollar=6.66666666

0.25 dollar=1.666666666666

7*6.66666666=46.666666

:)

Answer:

Kenzie can buy 48 Scrunchies

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to divide 3 by 20. (3/20) Which is also 1.5/10 and as a decimal, that is 15 cents. So one scrunchie is equivalent to 15 cents, which means how many times can you take .15 from 7.25 is how many scrunchies she can buy. So how many times does .15 go into 7.25? The answer is 48.3(repeating). So you have to round it down because if you round it up she needs more money.

A school assembly had 600 students in attendance, and 35% of them were first-graders. How many first-graders were at the assembly?

can u also list the formula on how to do this while ur at it pls and ty

Answers

Answer:

210 Were First Graders

Step-by-step explanation:

35 percent of 600 is the same as 35 per hundred of 600. We can therefore make the following equation:

35/100 = X/600

To solve the equation above for X, you first switch the sides to get the X on the left side, then you multiply each side by 600, and then finally divide the numerator by the denominator on the right side to get the answer. Here is the work to illustrate:

35/100 = X/600

X/600 = 35/100

X*600/600 = 35*600/100

X = 21000/100

X = 210

The work above shows the long way to explain how to calculate 35 percent of 600 in order to give you a foundation and better understanding of how to calculate percentage. In the future, you could use this simplified formula:

(Y * P)/100

In our problem "What is 35 percent of 600?", Y is 600 and P is 35:

(600 * 35)/100 = 210

And once again you see that the answer is 210.

Answer:

210 kids

Step-by-step explanation:

So the formula is basically part over whole is equal to x/100%

So for here it would be x/600 = 35/100

Solve that and you will get 210

Two teams working together can finish a job in 8 days. if the first team works alone for two days and the second team works alone for 5 days, 5/8 of the total work still remains. How many days will it take each team to finish the work alone?

Answers

x is the days that the first team finishes the work alone (x>8)

y --------------------------second-----------------------------------------(y>8)

In a day:

The first team finishes 1/x (the work) The second team finishes 1/y (the work) Two teams working together finish 1/8 (the work)

⇒          [tex]\frac{1}{x}+ \frac{1}{y} =\frac{1}{8}[/tex]               (1)

If the first team works alone for two days and the second team works alone for 5 days, 5/8 of the total work still remains:

⇒          [tex]\frac{2}{x}+\frac{5}{y}=\frac{3}{8}[/tex]                (2)

(1),(2)   ⇒   [tex]\left \{ {{\frac{1}{x}+ \frac{1}{y} =\frac{1}{8}} \atop {\frac{2}{x}+\frac{5}{y}=\frac{3}{8}}} \right. <=>\left \{ {{x=16} \atop {y=24}} \right.[/tex]

It'll take the first team 16 days and the second team 24 days to finish the work alone

A box of cereal states that there are 99 calories in a 3/4 cup serving. What is the unit rate for calories per cup? How many calories in 4 cups of cereal

Answers

Answer:

Hello There!

According to the question,

It is said that we have to find calories in 4 cups.

First we have to find in each cup.

So

[tex] \frac{3}{4} \times x = 99 \\ \\ so \: x = 99 \times \frac{4}{3} \\ \\ [/tex]

simplify 99 and 3 then it will look like

[tex]33 \times \frac{4}{1} [/tex]

1 has no value so 33×4=132 calories

Now it is in each cup or 1 cup.

To find in 4 cups, multiply 132×4

[tex]132 \times 4 = 528[/tex]

So 528 calories is the answer.

Point U on a graph is located at (4,8), Point V on the same graph is located at (12, 14).
Which point lies on Line UV?

A. ( 7 , 12 )
B. ( 10 , 14 )
C. ( 16 , 22 )
D. ( 20 , 20 )

Answers

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

gradient is change in y/change in x

gradient of UV = 14-8/12+4=3/4

use equation y=mx+c where y is the y coordinate, m is the gradient, x is the x coordinate and c is the y intercept

use one of the coordinates of U or V, I'll use (4,8)

[tex]y = mx + c[/tex]

[tex]8 = \frac{3}{4} (4) + c[/tex]

[tex] 8 = 3 + c[/tex]

c is 5

the equation for UV is

[tex]y = \frac{3}{4} x + 5[/tex]

insert each X coordinate given in the question to see if it gives the same y coordinate

when x is 20, y is also 20 so the answer is D

the answer is D hope this helps

Read the story.Racing to RaceCarlo stopped to rest for a minute and tried to catch his breath. Hed been running for so long that he had pains in his side and his legs were beginning to hurt. He hunched over and tried to expand his lungs, but it was like trying to suck air out of a bicycle tire. His body was too exhausted to even allow him to take a deep breath, and he started to wheeze again.Great, he thought, let me just add asthma to my expanding list of ailments. I cant believe that I cant even jog two miles without completely collapsing! He finally gave in to his aching body and laid down on the grass to recuperate. He closed his eyes and tried to imagine himself running on the school track in the 1,600-meter race. He pictured himself running steadily toward the finish line, running effortlessly like a cheetah in the jungle. He was so lost in thought that he didnt even hear Meiya approach.Hey sleepyhead, what are you doing napping on Seans lawn in the middle of the day? Meiya asked playfully.Carlo quickly sat up, breathing normally now and feeling a little embarrassed. I am trying to get in shape to try out for track, but I cant even run two miles, he said dejectedly.Wait, how many months are you out of surgery? Didnt you just finish rehab last week? Meiya asked. You cant expect to run two miles the first day.It had been six months since Carlos surgery and he specifically remembered the doctor telling him he could start running after six months. But he thought about what Meiya had said and realized she had a good point. After his surgery, the doctor did say rehab would be crucial to his recovery but that it would take time for him to gain back full use of his leg. He thought about how a baby had to learn to walk before it could run. He remembered when his nephew was learning to crawl; within days it seemed like he was walking. Running didnt come right away, Carlo remembered. He realized it was the same with his therapy. The maximum he had run in the past month was one mile on the treadmill, so he realized that Meiya was probably right. He would have to work at building up his endurance and set more realistic goals for himself. As he thought about what he had already accomplished, he started to smile and felt like a weight was being lifted off his shoulders. He realized that he had run almost a mile and a half before his body started to protest and if he kept working hard, he could get back to where he was before his accident.Since when did you get so smart, Dr. Meiya? he teased.
