If the baker made 5 pounds of icing and used 4/9 of the icing to make decorations, then he used:
5 * 4/9 =
= 20/9 =
= 2 2/9 [of icing]
To find out how much he has left over, we just need to substract 2 2/9 from 5:
5 - 2 2/9 =
= 3 - 2/9 =
= 2 7/9
Answer: The baker has <u>2 7/9</u> of the icing left.
So for the first one... Let's just use x for months and m for minutes.
(20m)+(.15m)
20 times the number of months plus .15 times the number of minutes
Same for the next one
(35x)+ (.10m)
35 times the number of months +.10 times the minutes.

Answer: 3
Step-by-step explanation:
You can answer this question by using the equation
(8+x)(7+x)=110
The x represents the width, as we do not know the area. If you simplify the equation, it becomes 56+15x+x2=110.
If you move all the terms to the left side, and rearrange it, it can become x^2+15x-54=0
This can be simplified into (x-3)(x+18)=0
This equation makes it so that x is either 3 or -18. It is not possible for a width to be -18, so the width must be 3.
