Answer:
48 spices
Step-by-step explanation:
The number of spices each has is a multiple of 5, 3, and 4.
The number of spices each has is 5x, 3x, and 4x.
Pru has 5x spices.
Piper has 3x spices.
Pru has 24 more spices than Piper, so
5x = 3x + 24
2x = 24
x = 12
Phoebe has 4x spices, so Phoebe has
4(12) = 48
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation: Pru, Piper, Phoebe their ratio 5:3:4 added = 12
What this would mean is that Pru has 5/12 of the total amount, Piper has 3/12 of the total, and Phoebe has 4/12 of the total amount of spices all together.
pru = piper + 24
5/12x = 3/12x + 24
5/12x - 3/12x = 24
2/12x = 24
x = 24 / (1/6)
x = 24 * 6
x = 144 spices in all.
Pru has : 5/12(144) = 720/12 = 60 spices
Piper has : 3/12(144) = 432/12 = 36 spices
Phoebe has : 4/12(144) = 576/12 = 48 spices <====
Answer: Ted's pencil could be 8.6 cm.
Step-by- Step explanation:
Since we have given that
Length of Jan's pencil= 8.5 cm
According to the question, we know that Ted's pencil is longer.
So, it must be larger in value than 8.5 cm .
So, it can be any decimal number greater than 8.5 cm
Hence, Ted's pencil could be 8.6 cm.
solve for x
2x=(360÷4)
2x=90
x=90/2
x=45
