Answer: Each adult’s meal costed $15

Step-by-step explanation:

This situation can be modeled by the following equation:

2a + 3c = 42, where a = the cost of an adult’s meal, and c = the cost of a child’s meal


Since we know from the problem that a child’s meal costs $4, we know c:

2a + 3(4) = 42


At this point, we can just solve the resulting equation for a:

2a + 3(4) = 42

= 2a + 12 = 42 (simplify 3(4))

= 2a = 30 (subtract 12 from both sides)

= a = 15 (divide both sides by 2)


So, the cost of each adult’s meal was $15.

Jerry is a judge. He hears 5 cases in 2 3/8 hours. How many cases does he hear per hour
Serggg [28]

Answer:

Jerry does 2.11 cases per hour (Rounded to 2 decimal places). As we cannot do 0.11 cases. We can say Jerry does 2 cases per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

to find the number of cases per hour, we have to divide the number of cases by number of hours taken for those cases,

Number of cases per hour = \frac{5cases}{2\frac{3}{8} hours}

                                             =\frac{5}{\frac{19}{8} } \\ cases per hour

                                             =\frac{5*8}{19} cases per hour

                                             =\frac{40}{19} cases per hour

                                              =2.11 cases per hour (Rounded to 2 decimal places)

As we cannot do 0.11 cases. We can say Jerry does 2 cases per hour.
