Kyle divided his stamps evenly on 3 pages with
6 stamps on each page.
How many stamps are
in Kyle's stamp
collection?

18

Step-by-step explanation:

Each page has 6 stamps. There are 3 pages. This is a simple multiplication problem, and so you do 3x6 to find the total number of stamps Kyle has. Thus, 3 times 6 is 18.

visual:

Page One: 6 stamps

Page Two: 6 stamps

Page Three: 6 stamps

6 + 6 + 6 = 18 (or just do 6x3)

answer: 72: 111

step-by-step explanation:

delaney would like to make a 5lb nut mixture that is 60% peanuts and 40% almonds.

she has several pounds of peanuts and several pounds of a mixture that is 20% peanuts and 80% almonds.

let 'p' represent the number of pounds of peanuts needed to make the new mixture, and  

let 'm' represent the number of pounds of the 80% almond-20% peanut mixture.

:

p + m = 5

therefore

m = (5-p)

write an equation based on the percent of peanuts

1p + .2m = .6(5)

replace m with (5-p)

p + .2(5-p) = .6(5)

p + 1 - .2p = 3

p - .2p = 3 - 1

.8p = 2

p = 2/.8

p = 2.5 lbs of peanuts required

then

5 - 2.5 = 2.5 lbs of the peanut/almond mixture required

:

a) what is the system that models this situation?

p + m = 5

1p + .2m = .6(5)
