Jay and Blair went fishing together they caught 27 fish. Jay caught 2 times as many fish as Blair. How many fish did Jay and Blair each catch? write an equation and solve. Explain your work

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Blair caught 9 fish, and Jay caught 18 fish out of 27 fish. By using the two equations.

Let's assume the number of fish Blair caught is represented by the variable "B". Since Jay caught 2 times as many fish as Blair, the number of fish Jay caught can be represented by the variable "J" as 2B.

According to the given information, Jay and Blair caught a total of 27 fish. We can write this as an equation:

B + J = 27

Substituting the values for J and B in terms of each other:

B + 2B = 27

Combining like terms:

3B = 27

Now, we can solve the equation for B by dividing both sides by 3:

B = 27 / 3

B = 9

So, Blair caught 9 fish.

To find the number of fish Jay caught, we substitute the value of B back into the equation:

J = 2B

J = 2(9)

J = 18

Therefore, Jay caught 18 fish. In conclusion, Blair caught 9 fish, and Jay caught 18 fish.

Notes:

Just as a reminder, the digits in large numbers are in groups of three places, i.e.,

  • hundreds,
  • tens,
  • ones (or units).

The groups are called periods, i.e.,

  • millions period;
  • thousands period;
  • ones or units period.

Commas are typically used to separate the periods.

Answer:

Face value = 9 and place value = 900,000

Step-by-step explanation:

The given number is 913,256.

We need to find the value of the digit 9 in the given number.

Face value of a digit in a number is equal to the digit.

Place value of a digit in a number can be defined on the basis of its position in the number.

Digit            Face value             Place value

9                       9                          9,00,000

1                        1                              10,000

3                       3                               3,000

2                       2                                  200

5                       5                                    50  

6                       6                                      6

Therefore, the face value of the digit 9 is 9 and place value is 9,00,000.

A.2.5x10^6


B. 0.25x10^18

C.2.5x10^17


D.0.25x10^7

Answers

so (2 times 10^21)/(8 times 10^3)
using the associative property
exg
xy/zt=y/z times x/t so

(2 times 10^21)/(8 times 10^3)=2/8 times (10^21)/(10^3)
2/8=1/4=0.25

when dividing exponents, just subtract the bottom number from the top number exg
10^21/10^3=10^(21-3)=10^18

so the answer is 0.25 times 10^18, but

scientific notation is
(a number >1 and <10) times 10^x

so 0.25 times 10=2.5 and 2.5>1 and <10 so this should work

0.25 times 10^18=2.5  times 10^17 ( we just took the ten from the 18)

so the answer is 2.5 times 10^17 or C

The second of two numbers is 4 more than the first. The sum of the numbers is 56. Find the numbers.

Answers

numbers are 26 and 30
{ x + y = 56
{ y = x + 4

x + y = 56
x + ( x + 4 ) = 56
x + x = 56 - 4
2x = 52
x = 52
       2
x = 26

x + y =56
26 + y = 56
y = 56 - 26
y = 30

S = { 26 , 30 }
