Question

Jacob's exercise goal last month was to do two thousand push-ups and 2500 sets of series 3/4 of his goals for push-ups and 9/10 of his goal for sit-ups. How many combined push-ups and sit-ups did Jacob do last month?

Answer 1

To find the combined number of push-ups and sit-ups Jacob did last month, we calculate the number of push-ups and sit-ups separately and then add them together. Jacob did a total of 2850 push-ups and sit-ups combined.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the combined number of push-ups and sit-ups that Jacob did last month, we need to calculate both numbers and add them together.

Let's start with the push-ups. Jacob's goal was 2000 push-ups, and he achieved 3/4 of his goal. So, the number of push-ups he did is calculated by multiplying his goal by 3/4:

Push-ups = 2000 * 3/4 = 1500

Next, let's calculate the number of sit-ups. Jacob's goal for sit-ups is not given, but we know that he achieved 9/10 of his goal. Since he achieved 3/4 of his push-up goal, we can assume a similar 9/10 achievement for sit-ups:

Sit-ups = Push-ups * 9/10 = 1500 * 9/10 = 1350

Finally, we can calculate the combined number of push-ups and sit-ups:

Combined = Push-ups + Sit-ups = 1500 + 1350 = 2850
