Amanda is placing an order for running shoes and leather boots for her footwear boutique. She needs a total of 48 pairs of shoes
1 answer:
Constraint 1:
Let the total number of running shoes be = R
Let the total number of leather boots be = L
As the given number of total shoes are 48,
The equations becomes,
R + L = 48............(1)
Constraint 2:
As running shoes are twice the leather boots, equation becomes,
R = 2L..............(2)
Putting the value of R from equation(2) in equation (1)
Now putting the value of L in equation(2)
R= 2L
R =
R=32
Hence, Amanda needs 16 pairs of leather boots and 32 pairs of running shoes.

Benchmark are numbers that are used as standards to which the rest of the data is compared to. When counting numbers using a number line, the benchmark numbers are the intervals written on the axis. For benchmark numbers of 10, the number line on top of the attached picture is shown. Starting from 170, the tick marks are added by 10, such that the next numbers are 180, 190, 200, and so on and so forth. When you want to find 410, just find the benchmark number 410.
The same applies to benchmark numbers in intervals of 100. If you want to find 170, used the benchmark numbers 100 and 200. Then, you estimate at which point represents 170. For 410, you base on the benchmark numbers 400 and 500.
