Answer:
As few as just over 345 minutes (23×15) or as many as just under 375 minutes (25×15).
Imagine a simpler problem: the bell has rung just two times since Ms. Johnson went into her office. How long has Ms. Johnson been in her office? It could be almost as short as just 15 minutes (1×15), if Ms. Johnson went into her office just before the bell rang the first time, and the bell has just rung again for the second time.
Or it could be almost as long as 45 minutes (3×15), if Ms. Johnson went into her office just after the bells rang, and then 15 minutes later the bells rang for the first time, and then 15 minutes after that the bells rang for the second time, and now it’s been 15 minutes after that.
So if the bells have run two times since Ms. Johnson went into her office, she could have been there between 15 minutes and 45 minutes. The same logic applies to the case where the bells have rung 24 times—it could have been any duration between 345 and 375 minutes since the moment we started paying attention to the bells!
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: Molly will have to save $10 each week for 9 weeks to get $189.
Step-by-step explanation:
Start at $99, count $10 every week until you get $189. Your answer is 9 weeks.
The answer should be n=p+2
Answer: that is impossible
Step-by-step explanation:
The answer is 29.4 grams.
How to solve:
1. Convert $15 to quarters. You can do this by multiplying 15 by 4. You use 4 because 4 quarters equal to $1. This will equal to 60 quarters.
2. Multiply both 5.76 and 6.25 by 60 to find the weight of $15 in quarters for today and before 1965.
Today: 5.76 g x 60 = 345.6 grams
Before 1965: 6.25 g x 60 = 375 grams
3. Now that you have the weight of quarters for both time periods, subtract! 375 grams - 345.6 grams = 29.4 grams
