Jim has 38 bottles of water in 9 packs of x bottles and one pack that contains only 2 bottles. What is the value of x? (Hint: Set up a two-step equation
We do not do your homework for you. Although it might take more effort to do the work on your own, you will profit more from your effort. We will be happy to evaluate your work though.
However, I will do one problem to start you out.
9x + 2 = 38
Solve for x.
the second one is 5.
the third one is red grapes.
No the second on is 5,000,000.
The first on is 11.25
To find the number of batches of applesauce Lois needs to make, we can subtract the amount of applesauce she already has from the total amount she wants to have.
1. First, subtract the amount of applesauce Lois already has from the total amount she wants to have:
Total amount of applesauce wanted - Amount of applesauce Lois already has = Amount of applesauce yet to be made
14.5 quarts - 1.5 quarts = 13 quarts yet to be made
2. Next, divide the amount of applesauce yet to be made by the amount of applesauce yielded per batch:
Amount of applesauce yet to be made ÷ Amount of applesauce yielded per batch = Number of batches needed
13 quarts ÷ 3.25 quarts per batch = 4 batches needed
Therefore, Lois needs to make 4 batches of applesauce.
To find the number of crayons the factory can make in one day, we can divide the total number of crayons made in 7 days by 7.
1. Divide the total number of crayons made in 7 days by 7:
Number of crayons made in 7 days ÷ Number of days = Number of crayons made in one day
35,000,000 crayons ÷ 7 days = 5,000,000 crayons made in one day
Therefore, the crayon factory can make 5,000,000 crayons in one day.
To determine which bag of grapes is a better deal, we can calculate the price per pound for each bag.
1. Calculate the price per pound for the white grapes:
Price of the bag of white grapes ÷ Weight of the bag of white grapes = Price per pound of white grapes
$4.70 ÷ 2.5 pounds = $1.88 per pound for white grapes
2. Calculate the price per pound for the red grapes:
Price of the bag of red grapes ÷ Weight of the bag of red grapes = Price per pound of red grapes
$5.98 ÷ 3.25 pounds = $1.84 per pound for red grapes
Therefore, the bag of red grapes is a better deal as it has a lower price per pound.
To find the value of x in the equation, we can set up an equation based on the information given.
1. Multiply the number of packs containing x bottles by the number of bottles in each pack:
Number of packs containing x bottles x Number of bottles in each pack = Total number of bottles from packs containing x bottles
9 packs x x bottles = 9x bottles
2. Add the total number of bottles from packs containing x bottles to the number of bottles in the pack with only 2 bottles:
Total number of bottles from packs containing x bottles + Number of bottles in the pack with 2 bottles = Total number of bottles
9x bottles + 2 bottles = 38 bottles
3. Set up the equation and solve for x:
9x + 2 = 38
9x = 36
x = 36/9
x = 4
Therefore, the value of x is 4.
