In the given question, it is already mentioned that Pam takes 15 minutes to type 2.5 pages. this information should be used as the main information for reaching the desired answer.
Pam typed 2.5 pages in = 15 minutes
Then time taken by Pam to type 23 pages = (15/2.5) * 23
= 345/2.5
= 3450/25
= 138
So Pam will take 138 minutes to type 23 pages
Answer:
Quarters = 20
Dimes = 14
Step-by-step explanation:
Dime = x = 10 cent = $0.1
Quarter = y = 25 cent = $0.25
x + y = 34 - - - (1)
0.1x + 0.25y = 6.40 - - - - (2)
From (1)
x = 34 - y
0.1(34 - y) + 0.25y = 6.40
3.4 - 0.1y + 0.25y = 6.40
3.4 + 0.15y = 6.40
0.15y = 6.40 - 3.40
0.15y = 3
y = 3 / 0.15
y = 20
x = 34 - y
x = 34 - 20
x = 14
Quarters = 20
Dimes = 14
Answer:
What Wally did wrong is that it is supposed to be (4a-5)(a-4)
In order to get -21 a. He was supposed to use negative 5 and 4 to get to negative 21
If he used (4a+5)(a+5)
The answer will be positive 21 and that's not what the problem is asking
Step-by-step explanation:
Hope this helps :)
