Solve using system of equations!
Let y=total amount of money and x=hours of overtime.
mall: y=400+15x
movies: y=360+20x
Solve! Set the equations equal to each other to find x.
400+15x=360+20x
40=5x
x=8
After 8 hours of overtime the movies would pay her more.
Possible procedures:
1). peanut, peanut
2). peanut, cashew
3). peanut, pecan
4). cashew, peanut
5). cashew, cashew
6). cashew, pecan
7). pecan, peanut
8). pecan, cashew
9). pecan, pecan.
Nine (9) possible procedures.
But ...
(2) and (4) produce the same final result.
(3) and (7) produce the same final result.
(6) and (8) produce the same final result.
So there are only <em><u>six (6)</u></em> possible different outcomes.
Our final answer must represent "number of mosquitos." This verifies that the correct calculation would be
1000 mosquitos 10.5 hours
----------------------- x --------------------
1 hour 1
Multiply this out. Note that "hours" will cancel.
Whats your result?
Supposing that your result looked like xxxxx times 10^0,
you'd convert this into scientific notation by moving the decimal place four units to the left (obtaining x.xxx) and then increasing the exponent of 10 from zero to four (obtaining 10^4).
Then your answer would have the form x.xxx times 10^4 (mosquitos)
The correct answer is 7 I hope it helps
