Answer:
Lin has 11 acorns ⇒ answer D
He subtract 4 from 7 instead of add 4 to 7
Step-by-step explanation:
- Lin has 4 pinecones and some acorns
- She has 7 fewer pinecones than acorns
- The meaning of 7 fewer pinecones than acorns is the number of the
pinecones is less than the number of acorns by 7
∵ She has 4 pinecones
∵ She has 7 fewer pinecones than acorns
- The number of pine cones is less than the number of acorns by 7
∴ 4 = number of acorns - 7
- Add 7 to both sides
∴ 11 = number of acorns
*<em> Lin has 11 acorns</em>
- Tom choose answer A which is 3
- He made a mistake in the equation
- He put ⇒ number of the acorns = 7 - 4 not 7 + 4
∴ number of acorns = 3
* <em>He subtract 4 from 7 instead of add 4 to 7</em>
0.83Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
83% means 83 per 100 or 83/100 if you divide 83 by 100 you get 0.83
Set up a proportion:
3/4/24 = 1/x
Cross multiply:
3/4x = 24
Divide 3/4 to both sides or multiply by its reciprocal, 4/3:
x = 24 * 4/3
x = 96/3
x = 32
So you had a total of 32 muffins, now subtract this from the amount that blew away to find out how many you have left:
32 - 24 = 8
So you have 8 muffins left.
It is the same beacuse x is equal to y so x and y both equal 22
