Which number can each term of the equation be multiplied by to eliminate the decimals before solving? –m + 0.02 + 2.1m = –1.45 – 4.81m

0.01

Multiply by 100

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation is given as:

-m + 0.02 + 2.1m = -1.45 - 4.81m

To eliminate the decimals from all the terms, we must multiply by a number that make all the coefficients integers.

The decimal coefficients and independent terms are

0.02, 2.1, 1.45, 4.81

Note the maximum number of decimals found in all of them is 2. Thus, multiplying by 100 all the decimals will vanish as follows:

100(-m + 0.02 + 2.1m) = 100(-1.45 - 4.81m)

-100m + 2 + 210m = -145 - 481m

Now all terms have integer coefficients as required.

Multiply by 100

7 weeks

step-by-step explanation:

convert each fraction to the least common multiple of 20, so 3/4 = 15/20 & 1/10 = 2/20, then divide 15 by 2 and you get a little over 7, so the food will last 7 weeks.

stew reads at the fastest rate of 265 words per minute.

step-by-step explanation:

it's a given that felicia reads at 260 word per minute and on connie's graph we can see that she reads 200 words per minute. since stew's table tells us that he read 795 in 3 minutes, we can divide 795 by 3 to find out how many words he reads per minute.

795/3 = 265

stew reads 265 words per minute - he reads at the fastest rate since felecia reads at 260 words per minute and connie reads at 200 words per minute.

stew (265) > felecia (260) > connie (200)
