Algebra.Com's Answer #564715 by TimothyLamb(4379)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! leaf counts must be whole numbers (1, 2, 3, etc.), not fractions (1/2, 3/4, etc.) \n" ); document.write( "--- \n" ); document.write( "the problem says: she found leaves in 7 different sizes \n" ); document.write( "--- \n" ); document.write( "the problem says: she found the same number of leaves of each size \n" ); document.write( "--- \n" ); document.write( "so she had to have found 7*1 or 7*2, or 7*3, etc. number of leaves in total \n" ); document.write( "--- \n" ); document.write( "7*1 = 7 \n" ); document.write( "7*2 = 14 \n" ); document.write( "7*3 = 21 \n" ); document.write( "--- \n" ); document.write( "13 doesn't match any of the above, so the problem statement contains an error! \n" ); document.write( "--- \n" ); document.write( "Solve and graph linear equations: \n" ); document.write( "https://sooeet.com/math/linear-equation-solver.php \n" ); document.write( "--- \n" ); document.write( "Solve quadratic equations, quadratic formula: \n" ); document.write( "https://sooeet.com/math/quadratic-formula-solver.php \n" ); document.write( "--- \n" ); document.write( "Convert fractions, decimals, and percents: \n" ); document.write( "https://sooeet.com/math/fraction-decimal-percent.php \n" ); document.write( "--- \n" ); document.write( "Calculate and graph the linear regression of any data set: \n" ); document.write( "https://sooeet.com/math/linear-regression.php \n" ); document.write( " |
