5C. Amanda pours 3/4 of her water into Barbara’s empty bottle. Barbara then pours 3/5 of her water into Charlie’s empty bottle. Charlie then pours 1/2 of his water into David’s empty bottle. If David now has 18 ounces of water, how many ounces does Amanda still have?

20 ounces

Step-by-step explanation:

For this type of problem it is best to work backwards.

If David has 18, and Charlie gave him 1/2, then Charlie has 36 because 18x2=36. Barbara has 60, because 36/3= 12 and 5x12=60. Then, Amanda has 80 because 60/3=20 and 20x4= 80. But, we need to subtract 60 because the problem asks how many ounces of water does Amanda still have. So, 80- 60(The amount of water she gave to Barbara)=20.

20

Step-by-step explanation:

2

step-by-step explanation:

1+1=2

step-by-step explanation:

always plug in x. in this case, x equals 4.

i'm going to first solve 4(2+3x)

1) 4(2+3(4)) use pemdas to solve.

i'm going to multiply whats in the parenthesis first, so 3 times 4=12.

2)4 (2+12) i'm then going to multiply 4 by both numbers in the parenthesis (because multiplying comes before adding)

4 times 2= 8.   4 times 12= 48

4) (8+48)= 56 (answer)

i'm then going to solve 8+12x and plug in 4 for x.

1) 8 +12(4)

multiplying comes before adding, so i'm gonna multiply 12 and 4.

12 times 4= 48.

2) 8+48=56

both equal the same!
