Answer:
Jess used 40 blocks in total.
Step-by-step explanation:
First stack: 8 blocks
Second stack: First stack + 4 = 8 + 4 = 12 blocks
Third stack: Second stack + 8 = 12 + 8 = 20 blocks
Total number of blocks: First stack + Second stack + Third stack = 8 + 12 + 20 = 40 blocks
Answer:
3 3/8
Step-by-step explanation:
We assume your intended question is ...
"Find the actual sum of 1 3/4 + 1 5/8 to determine how much David grew in two years. Explain ..." (Proper word choice and punctuation help communication.)
The sum of the two given mixed numbers can be found several ways. One way is to write the fractions using a common denominator:
1 3/4 + 1 5/8 = 1 6/8 + 1 5/8 = (1 +1) +(6/8 +5/8) = 2 + 11/8 = 3 3/8
David grew 3 3/8 in two years.
__
Both numbers are near and slightly more than 1.5, so their sum will be near and slightly more than 3.
7 with 13 over 125 this is the mixed number form.
3x-13=305
3x=305+13
3x=318
(3x)÷3=318÷3
x=106
check.. (3×106)-13=305
318-13=305
305=305
