Clark bought a 3.2 Ib bag of potatoes , which had 10 potatoes. How many potatoes would there be in a 10 Ib bag?

9514 1404 393

  31

Step-by-step explanation:

If we assume the number of potatoes is proportional to the weight, then we can write the equation ...

  n/10 = 10/3.2

  n = 100/3.2 = 31.25 . . . . . . . multiply by 10

There may be 31 potatoes in a 10-lb bag.

step-by-step explanation: where's the phrase?

step-by-step explanation:

always plug in x. in this case, x equals 4.

i'm going to first solve 4(2+3x)

1) 4(2+3(4)) use pemdas to solve.

i'm going to multiply whats in the parenthesis first, so 3 times 4=12.

2)4 (2+12) i'm then going to multiply 4 by both numbers in the parenthesis (because multiplying comes before adding)

4 times 2= 8.   4 times 12= 48

4) (8+48)= 56 (answer)

i'm then going to solve 8+12x and plug in 4 for x.

1) 8 +12(4)

multiplying comes before adding, so i'm gonna multiply 12 and 4.

12 times 4= 48.

2) 8+48=56

both equal the same!
