Keisha read twice as many books as Ben read. Subtracting 4 from the number of books Keisha read and dividing by 2 gives the number of books Sheldon read. Sheldon read 10 books. How many books did Ben read? Show step by step answer

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: Ben read 12 books

Firstly you know how any books Sheldon read so to find out number of books Keisha read you go backwards to what they have mentioned.

You times number of books Sheldon has read by 2 then add 4 ( because it says subtract 4 and divide by 2).

(10x2) +4=24

Now we know Keisha has read 24 books and she has read twice as many as Ben therefore number of books Ben has read:

24/2=12

Ben has read 12 books

Answer 2

Answer: So Sheldon read 10 so multiply that by 2 (because your doing the opposite of it to find answer) so 2x10=20,
plus 4 =24
So Keisha read 24 books which is twice as many as Ben so divide that by 2 to get the number of books Ben read.
So 24 divided by 2 = 12
Ben read 12 books

Okay, your answer is 182. You really do not need to look at the crazy stuff on the paper about the crazy numbers. Look at the graph. It is counting up by 20's on the left side. But on the right side, the whole time it is counting up by 13's. Your answer is 182.

Runners race around a rectangular park during the city marathon. The length of the park is 6 miles. The width of the park is 7 miles. Which is the correct unit of measurement to use when figuring out how many miles someone would run during the marathon? A. miles3 B. miles C. miles2

Answers

Answer=B

The question asks us to the miles someone would run during the marathon. Since, the marathon goes around the park, the question is asking for the perimeter of the rectangular park. The perimeter for a rectangle is:

P=2(l+w)
P=2l+2w

The ending unit of measurement would be miles.

P=2(6+7)
P=2(13)
P=26 miles
