5 baskets...each holds 15 apples....(5 x 15) = 75 apples
4 friends pick the same amount...
4 x 75 = 300 apples picked in total. <==
I'll do 22 for you. 22, 24, 26, 28, and 30, are very similar to each other.
PROPORTIONS:
Draw it out.
5/7 = either c/6, or b/5.
I'll do c/6
5/7 = c/6
solve for c
7c=30
c=30/7
now do the same thing to the remaining side, b.
there!
Answer:
6. 1.01 x -10^5
7. 6 x -10^14
8. 550,000
9. 60,700,000
10. 0.000204
11. 0.0004
12. 7,000,000,000,000 > 3,500,000,000
7,000,000,000,000 (or 7 x 10^12) is greater by 2,000 times
15. 10^3 and 10^4
P = pizza and c =cakes
Last week: 8p + 13c = 134
Today: 28p + 4c = 220
Let’s take the formula for today and subtract 28p from each side to isolate the 4c.
4c = 220 - 28p
Now divide each side by 4
c = (220 - 28p)/4
Simplify to c = 55 - 7p
Now go to the formula for last week, substitute the c for 55-7p
8p + 13(55 - 7p) = 134
8p + 715 - 91p = 134
Simplify to 715 - 83p = 134
Let’s add 83p to each side.
715 = 134 + 83p
Subtract 134 from each side
581 = 83p
Divide each side by 83
p = $7
