Emily, Frances, and Bill each carried a 10-pound bag of soil into the backyard. After putting the soil in the first flower bed, Emily's bag was ⅝ full, Frances's bag was ⅖ full, and Bill's bag was ⅖ full. How many pounds of soil did they put in the first flower bed altogether?

Step-by-step explanation:

emily: 10(5/8) = 6 1/4 or 6.25 pounds left

10- 6.25 = 3.75 used

Frances : 10(2/5) = 4 pounds left

10-4 = 6 pounds used

Bills : 10(2/5) = 4 pounds left

10-4 = 6 pounds used

add them together

15.75 or 15 3/4 pounds of soil in the first flower bed

question 1 is 8, question 2 is 9, question 3 is 24

step-by-step explanation:

now, the numbers they give you at the top are the key. from there, you just have to plug and chug! let's try 1, 2, and 3!

key: a=3, b=5, c=6

1. a+5

remember, a=3, so we plug that in to get 3+5=8

2. 15-c

c=6, so we plug that in to get 15-6=9

3. 4b

b=6, so we plug it in to get 4*6=24

time to try the rest on your own! if you put the answers below in a comment, i'll check them for you!

= 5

step-by-step explanation:

to find the 15th term substitute n = 15 into the nth term formula

= (- 3 × 15 ) + 50 = - 45 + 50 = 5
