Re: Help with 2nd grade problem using tape diagrahm

Hello and welcome to MHB! (Wave)

I would begin by letting (where all prices are in dollars):

$$A$$ = the price of the shirt

$$B$$ = the price of the shoes

Now, we are given:

$$A=19$$

And we are told the price of the shoes is 28 more than that of the shirt...so we may write:

$$B=A+28=\,?$$

the sum of Aand B is 47 ,is this ans, how much money did he spend for shirt and shoes, if $13 left over how much money did Chad have before buying the shirt nd shoes

Yes,

$$B=A+28=19+28=47$$

For part b), let $T$ be the total amount Brad spent, which is the sum of the amounts spent on shirt and shoes:

$$T=A+B=19+47=\,?$$
 
Writing abstract equations in "A" and "B" is probably a bit much for "2nd grade"!

"Chad bought a shirt for \$19 and a pair of shoes for \$28 more than shirt"

"a. How much was the pair of shoes?"
\$28 more than \$19 is 19+ 28= \$47.

"B. How much money did chad spend on the shirt and shoes?"
Add the two separate costs- 19+ 47= \$66.

"c. if chad had 13 dollars left over, how much money did Chad have before buying the shirt and shoes?"
If he spent \$66 and had \$13 still, then he must have had 66+ 13= \$79.
 

Thread 'What Exactly is Dirac’s Delta Function? - Insight'

Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...

Thread 'Fermat's Last Theorem'

Fermat's Last Theorem has long been one of the most famous mathematical problems, and is now one of the most famous theorems. It simply states that the equation $$ a^n+b^n=c^n $$ has no solutions with positive integers if ##n>2.## It was named after Pierre de Fermat (1607-1665). The problem itself stems from the book Arithmetica by Diophantus of Alexandria. It gained popularity because Fermat noted in his copy "Cubum autem in duos cubos, aut quadratoquadratum in duos quadratoquadratos, et...

Thread 'Useless continued fraction for 1'

I'm interested to know whether the equation $$1 = 2 - \frac{1}{2 - \frac{1}{2 - \cdots}}$$ is true or not. It can be shown easily that if the continued fraction converges, it cannot converge to anything else than 1. It seems that if the continued fraction converges, the convergence is very slow. The apparent slowness of the convergence makes it difficult to estimate the presence of true convergence numerically. At the moment I don't know whether this converges or not.
