Answer 6

@triciaal wouldn't "john had three aples he found four more times twelve" makes sense? I wrote that for the first problem. I think they meant to put a sentence when they said "write words to match the expression"

nine 14- ounce bags of popcorn to repackage = total available
one bag = 3 ozs so how many times can you get 3 ozs from the total you have to repackage?

Answer 8

42 small bags?

Answer 9

@darrbreezy No lol I meant for the first question.

Let's do the very last one and then you can go back and read everything. I don't appreciate when I take the time to help and the person does not even care to read the post.

Answer 62

Maurice puts 130 trading cards in protector sheets he fills 7 sheets and puts the remaining 4 cards in an eighth sheet. Each of the filled sheets has the same number of cards. How many cards are in each filled sheet?

Answer 63

I do care. I'm just really new to this. My teacher wont' explain it at all she just sits on her desk, and gives us worksheets.

Answer 64

let x be the number of cards on each of the 7 sheets and there are 4 cards on the 8th sheet. He has 130 cards in all
7*x + 4 = 130
to solve for x first isolate the x to one side so take away 4 from each side
7*x + 4 -4 = 130 -4
7*x = 126
you have 7*x to get 1*x divide by 7
7*x/7 = 126/7 same to each side to keep the balance
x = 18

this means that each of the 7 sheets had 18 cards each and the 8th sheet had 4 cards for a total of 130 cards.

(7 * 18 ) + 4 = 130

read and reread until you get it. I have to leave.

Answer 65

Thank you.
