Maggie started collecting teacups on her 13th birthday when she was given 4 teacups. She has purchased a new teacup every month since then. How many teacups will she have on her 17th birthday?

A.52
B.64
C.38
D.48

A. 52

Step-by-step explanation:

Find how many months are in 4 years, since there are 4 years between her 13th and 17th birthdays.

There are 12 months in a year, so multiply 12 by 4:

12(4)

= 48

So, there are 48 months in 4 years. Since she buys a new teacup every month, this means she will have bought 48 more teacups.

Add this to the 4 teacups she got on her 13th birthday:

48 + 4

= 52

So, on her 17th birthday, she will have A. 52 teacups

14

step-by-step explanation:

14 x 3 = 42

step-by-step explanation:

12: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m. is a total of 7 hours.

4: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m. is a total of 3 hours.

this means that from 4: 00 p.m to 7: 00 p.m. this represents 3/7 of what was lost from 12: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m.

after knowing this, after doing 11,600 - 6,800 = 4,800

4,800 represents 3/7 of what was lost for 7 hours.

we then divide 4,800 by 3 which gets 1,600.

because we know that 1,600 represents 1/7 of how much water was lost, we just have to multiply by 7, which gets 11,200.   after adding 11,200 to how much water was left at 7: 00 p.m. which was 6,800. 11,200 + 6,800 = 18,000

this means that the pool originally had 18,000 gallons in the pool.

you can also check your work by doing 18,000 - 4(1600), which becomes           1800 - 6400 which gets you 11,600.
