Question

abby is memorizing all the u.s. state capitals. the bar graph shows how many state capitals she has left to memorize from each region. memorizing state capitals yesterday, abby memorized half of the capitals she had left from the northeast. she also memorized 2 more of the midwest capitals she had left. in all, how many state capitals does abby have left to memorize? state capitals

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate the remaining capitals in the Northeast

The number of capitals left in the Northeast was \(6\). She memorized half of them. So the remaining is \(6\times(1 - \frac{1}{2})=6\times\frac{1}{2}=3\).

Step2: Calculate the remaining capitals in the Midwest

The number of capitals left in the Midwest was \(3\). She memorized \(2\) more. So the remaining is \(3 - 2=1\).

Step3: Sum up the remaining capitals from all regions

The remaining capitals from the Southeast is \(3\), from the West is \(2\), from the Southwest is \(1\).
The total remaining is \(3+3 + 1+2+1\).

$$3+3 + 1+2+1=10$$

Answer:

\(10\)
