A has to pay £51 (and B pays £34)
This is how you work it out: A:B
3:2
3+2=5, 85/5 = 17 (this is what you would have to pay if your part of the ratio was 1)
therefore, to find what A pays, you times the part 1 by 3 (as the ratio is 3:2)
17 x 3 = 51
(likewise, 17x2= 34 which is what B has to pay)

85/5 = 17
17x3 = 51
17x2 = 34
51:34

Write an expression to represent: 3 minus the quotient of x and 4

alisha [4.7K]

The expression representing the sentence is $$3 -\frac{x}{4}$ .

We have a sentence - "3 minus the quotient of x and 4".

We have to determine the expression that represents the sentence.

<h3>Express the statement - "The difference of x and y is equal to an irrational number" in the form of expression.</h3>

The expression representing the above statement is -

x - y = π.

According to the question, we have -

3 minus the quotient of x and 4.

Using the Division Algorithm -

x = 4q + r

Substituting r = 0 by introducing decimals in the quotient, we get -

q = $$\frac{x}{4}$

Therefore -

$$3 -\frac{x}{4}$

Hence, the expression representing the sentence is $$3 -\frac{x}{4}$ .

Mr. Mandel gave his class 12 minutes to read. 5 1/2 pages in that time. At what rate, in pages per hour, did Claire read?

Eva8 [605]

5 1/2 pages in 12 minutes.
11/2 pages in 12 minutes

How many pages in an hour?
well, an hour has 60 minutes

Let's write a proportion
11/2 / 12 = x/60
cross multiply
(11/2 * 60) = 12x
330 = 12x
divide both sides by 12
27.5 or 27 1/2 = x

27.5 pages per hour.

Hope this helps
