If Sarah has 9 conch shells, how many shells does she have in total?

Solution 29:

To find the total number of shells Sarah has, we'll first calculate the fractions of starfish and clam shells and then find the
fraction of conch shells:

Fraction of starfish shells = 1/4

Fraction of clam shells = 1/3

Fraction of conch shells = 1 - (Fraction of starfish + Fraction of clam) = 1 - (1/4 + 1/3)

Now, calculate the sum of the fractions:

Fraction of conch shells = 1 - (1/4 + 1/3) = 1 - (3/12 + 4/12) = 1 - 7/12 = 5/12.

Now, since Sarah has 9 conch shells, we can set up a proportion:

(5/12) = 9 / Total shells

To solve for the total number of shells (Total shells), cross-multiply and then divide:

find the fraction of gummy bears:

Fraction of chocolate candies = 1/6

Fraction of licorice candies = 1/4

Fraction of gummy bear candies = 1 - (Fraction of chocolate + Fraction of licorice) = 1 - (1/6 + 1/4)

Now, calculate the sum of the fractions:

Fraction of gummy bear candies = 1 - (1/6 + 1/4) = 1 - (2/12 + 3/12) = 1 - 5/12 = 7/12.

Now, since David has 5 gummy bears, we can set up a proportion:

(7/12) = 5 / Total candies

To solve for the total number of candies (Total candies), cross-multiply and then divide:

and then find the fraction of green colored pencils:

Fraction of blue colored pencils = 1/5

Fraction of red colored pencils = 1/3

Fraction of green colored pencils = 1 - (Fraction of blue + Fraction of red) = 1 - (1/5 + 1/3)

Now, calculate the sum of the fractions:

Fraction of green colored pencils = 1 - (1/5 + 1/3) = 1 - (3/15 + 5/15) = 1 - 8/15 = 7/15.

Now, since Olivia has 10 green colored pencils, we can set up a proportion:

(7/15) = 10 / Total colored pencils

To solve for the total number of colored pencils (Total colored pencils), cross-multiply and then divide:

Total colored pencils = (10 * 15) / 7 = 150 / 7 = 21 3/7.

So, Olivia has a total of 21 3/7 colored pencils.

Let "R" represent the weight of each bag of rice.

The total weight of 4 bags of rice is 4R.

The total weight of 3 bags of beans is 3 * 0.64 kilograms = 1.92 kilograms.

We are given that the total weight of 4 bags of rice and 3 bags of beans is 9.42 kilograms:

4R + 1.92 = 9.42.

Now, solve for R:

4R = 9.42 - 1.92

4R = 7.50

R = 7.50 / 4

R = 1.875 kilograms.

So, each bag of rice weighs 1.875 kilograms.

Problem 42:
The total weight of 6 boxes of apples and 5 boxes of oranges is 16.70 pounds. If the weight of each box of oranges is 1.2
pounds, find the weight of each box of apples.

Solution 42:

Let "A" represent the weight of each box of apples.

The total weight of 6 boxes of apples is 6A.

The total weight of 5 boxes of oranges is 5 * 1.2 pounds = 6 pounds.

We are given that the total weight of 6 boxes of apples and 5 boxes of oranges is 16.70 pounds:

6A + 6 = 16.70.

Now, solve for A:

6A = 16.70 - 6

6A = 10.70

A = 10.70 / 6

A = 1.7833... (rounded to two decimal points)

So, each box of apples weighs approximately 1.78 pounds.

Problem 43:
The total weight of 3 bags of dog food and 4 bags of cat food is 7.26 kilograms. If the weight of each bag of cat food is
0.75 kilograms, find the weight of each bag of dog food.

Solution 43:

Let "D" represent the weight of each bag of dog food.

The total weight of 3 bags of dog food is 3D.

The total weight of 4 bags of cat food is 4 * 0.75 kilograms = 3 kilograms.

We are given that the total weight of 3 bags of dog food and 4 bags of cat food is 7.26 kilograms:

3D + 3 = 7.26.

Now, solve for D:

3D = 7.26 - 3

3D = 4.26

D = 4.26 / 3

D = 1.42 kilograms.

So, each bag of dog food weighs 1.42 kilograms.
