The cost of one ruler is $0.70

<h3>Applications of simultaneous equations </h3>

From the question, we are to determine the cost of one ruler

Let x represent the cost of a ruler

and

y represent the cost of a pen

From the given information, we can write that

y + x = $2.10 ----------- (1)

2y + 3x = $4.90  ----- (2)

From equation (1),

y + x = $2.10

Then,

y = $2.10 - x

Substitute this into equation (2)

2y + 3x = $4.90

2($2.10 - x) + 3x = $4.90

$4.20 - 2x + 3x = $4.90

$4.20 +x = $4.90

x = $4.90 - $4.20

x = $0.70

Hence, the cost of one ruler is $0.70

HELP PLS I NEED TO TURN IT IN MONDAY!

Terri can swim 3 laps in 2.5 minutes. To find how long it takes to swim 20 laps, you can make a proportion.

\frac{Lap}{Time}

Put the amount of laps on the top and the time(minutes) at the bottom.

\frac{3}{2.5} = \frac{20}{x}

Cross multiply:

20 \times 2.5 = 50

Divide by 3:

50 \div 3 = 16 \frac{2}{3} \rightarrow 16.67

It would take Terri 16 \frac{2}{3} OR 16.67 minutes to run 20 laps.
