Alexei is stocking a shelf at the store. The shelf can hold 58 cans, so he can still put 39 cans on the shelf before it is full. Create an equation to make sense of the problem and solve it to find out how many cans are already on the shelf. Which equation and answer are correct?(1 point)

Responses

c−58=39 and 97
c minus 58 equals 39 and 97

c+39=58 and −19
c plus 39 equals 58 and negative 19

c+39=58 and 19
c plus 39 equals 58 and 19

c−58=39 and 97

To analyze the problem, we know that the total capacity of the shelf is 58 cans. Alexei can still put 39 cans on the shelf, which means the number of cans already on the shelf (let's call it \(c\)) can be found using the equation:

\[ c + 39 = 58 \]

Now we can solve for \(c\):

  1. Subtract 39 from both sides of the equation:

\[ c = 58 - 39 \]

  1. Calculate the right side:

\[ c = 19 \]

So, the correct equation is \(c + 39 = 58\) and the answer is \(19\).

Thus, the correct response is:

c + 39 = 58 and 19

Trey is running in a race. He has completed 14 of the race so far. He has already run 1.2 miles. How many more miles must Trey run to complete the race?(1 point)

To determine how many more miles Trey must run to complete the race, we first need to know the total distance of the race.

Given that Trey has completed 14 of the race so far, this likely refers to either segments or laps of the race, but without further context, we will need to clarify what the total distance of the race is.

If we assume that completing 14 implies he has run a total of 14 miles (and considering he has already run 1.2 miles), we can find the remaining distance as follows:

  1. Total distance of the race = 14 miles
  2. Distance already run = 1.2 miles
  3. Remaining distance to run = Total distance - Distance already run

Calculating the remaining distance:

\[ \text{Remaining distance} = 14 - 1.2 = 12.8 \text{ miles} \]

Since 12.8 miles is not an option provided in your choices, it suggests that my total race assumption may not be accurate based on the number of segments he has completed.

If we assume that the "14" implies types of segments, and we do not know the total, it's impossible to provide an accurate answer without that total or the exact relationship to the distance.

Given only the options you provided (0.3, 1.6, 3.6, and 5.2 miles), there is insufficient information to conclude which is correct without knowing what the total distance of the race is.

Please clarify the total distance of the race or provide additional context for accurate assistance.

Try again then

Let's analyze the information provided again:

  1. Trey has completed 14 portions of the race, which indicates some kind of segment of the race.
  2. He has already run 1.2 miles.

To find out how many more miles Trey must run to complete the race, we need the total distance he needs to cover. However, since no total distance for the race is provided, we will assume that each portion completed is 1 mile until we can clarify.

If we assume each of the 14 portions he has completed amounts to a total distance, let's calculate based on different interpretations.

Since the previous attempts mentioned total distances could be unclear, if we assume:

  • The total distance of the race is actually 15 miles (given the portions might imply 14 completed with 1 remaining portion which is 1 mile).

Let's calculate:

  1. Total distance of the race: 15 miles
  2. Distance already run: 1.2 miles

Remaining distance to run:

\[ \text{Remaining distance} = 15 - 1.2 = 13.8 \text{ miles} \]

However, that's also not aligning with the options you've presented.

Let's take into account if 14 is not directly referring to miles.

If:

  • The total distance of the race is possibly misunderstood, please provide a standard distance for clarity.

On analyzing your provided options:

  • Please reconfirm if 14 is that number of miles, laps, sections, or similar contextually related.

If the race is \(d\) miles long (unknown), given:

  • If the total number (let’s assume it is perhaps 15, 20, or otherwise) more context helps.

However, by any of the provided figures, if any choices seem unusable, it would be prudent to understand how far the entire race means with "14 complete" clauses.

Talking about your choices directly and to bridge anything, could you tally or clarify the entire race length if needed? That would rectify exactly how many additional miles Trey would need to run.
