Answer:
one gadget costs $15.80
Step-by-step explanation:
Let w = cost of one widget
Let g = cost of one gadget
Given:
- Five widgets and three gadgets cost $109. 90
⇒ 5w + 3g = 109.9
Given:
- One widget and four gadgets cost $75. 70
⇒ w + 4g = 75.7
Rewrite w + 4g = 75.7 to make w the subject:
⇒ w = 75.7 - 4g
Substitute into 5w + 3g = 109.9 and solve for g:
⇒ 5(75.7 - 4g) + 3g = 109.9
⇒ 378.5 - 20g + 3g = 109.9
⇒ 378.5 - 109.9 = 20g - 3g
⇒ 268.6 = 17g
⇒ g = 15.8
Therefore, one gadget costs $15.80
To find the cost of one widget, substitute the found value for g into
w = 75.7 - 4g and solve for w:
⇒ w = 75.7 - 4(15.8)
⇒ w = 75.7 - 63.2
⇒ w = 12.5
Therefore, one widget costs $12.50
Answer:
1/625
Step-by-step explanation:
The man travelled in different ways: by rail, by taxi, by ___ and by foot. I placed a blank there because there seems to be a missing word in the given problem above. For sample purposes, let's just assume that is travel by bus.
Since all of these travels are equal to 1 whole journey, you can express each travel as a fraction. When you add them up, the answer would be 1. So,
3/8 + 1/4 + 1/8 + x = 1
The variable x here denotes the fraction of his travel by foot. We are only given the exact distance travelled on foot which is 2 km. We have to find the fraction of the travel by foot to determine the length of the total distance travelled. Solving for x,
x = 1 - 3/8 - 1/4 - 1/8
x = 1/4
That means that the travel by foot comprises 1/4 of the whole journey. Thus,
Let total distance be D.
1.4*D = 2 km
D = 8 km
Therefore, the man travelled a total of 8 kilometers.
Answer:
2 9/10
Step-by-step explanation:
subtract the 1 mile from the 3 9/10 mile. kinda like 3-1 but then you put the other stuff on the end (9/10)
I'm pretty sure this is the correct answer
C adding a number to itself
