A tire shop had to fill 2 1 ⁄2 tires with air. It took a small air compressor 2 1 ⁄2 seconds to fill them up. How long would it

Let 2_1/2 = 5/2.

Let t = time to fill 8 tires

(5/2)/8 = (5/2)/t

8(5/2) = (5/2)t

20 = (5/2)t

20 ÷ 5/2 = t

20 • 2/5 = t

8 seconds = t

Done.

3) Last year Kerry’s take home pay was £15 000 She spent 40% of her take home pay on rent. She used the rest of her take home pa

3,000. You take 15,000 and multiply by .4 to get how much she spent on rent (6,000). They you subtract the rent money from her total pay to get her money that she spent on living expenses, clothes and entertainment in total (9,000). Since she spent her money in six parts (3+2+1), you divide 9,000 by 6 to get 1,500 to get each part. Since for entertainment she has two parts you multiply 1,500 by 2 to get 3,000.
