We will have to use proportions:
Cross multiplying we get
Now divide:
Solve to tenths place we get
The woman casts a 36.6 ft long shadow.
Let's V the speed of the girl in step
v the speed of the escalator in step
L the length between ground and floor.
V*60+v*60=L ==> V+v=L/60
V*90-v*90=L ==> V-v=L/90
2V=L(3+2)/180
==>V=5L/360
Time to climb (in step) with v=0 (escalator standing still)
V*t=L==> t=L/V=L/(L*5/360)=72
The girl will count 72 steps.
Answer:
3d + 4p = $37.25
5d + 2p = $38.75
Actual Answer:
Bag of popcorn is $5
A drink is $5.75
Step-by-step explanation:
Let drinks = d
Let popcorn = p
Noah: 3d + 4p = $37.25
Other: 5d + 2p = $38.75
Choose a variable to eliminate (We'll choose p)
3d + 4p = $37.25
(5d + 2p = $38.75) -2
Distribute
-10d - 4p = -77.5
The -4p cancels out the 4p, then we combine
-7d = -40.25
Divide both sides by -7
-7d/-7 = -40.25/-7
d = 5.75
Back to 3d + 4p = $37.25
Substitute d with 5.75
3(5.75) + 4p = $37.25
17.25 + 4p = 37.25
Move the constant to the other side
17.25 + 4p = 37.25
-17.25 -17.25
4p = 20
Divide both sides by 4
4p/4 = 20/4
p = 5
The answer is C. 2. Hope this helped. now go pass that assignment.
