Answer:

378 cookies

Step-by-step explanation:

Let total amount of cookies be y

Let amount of cookies in each small box = x

let amount of cookies in each large box = x + 32

Therefore total amount of cookies in 18 small boxes = 18x

Total amount of cookies in 7 large boxes = 7(x+18) = 7x + 126

Fractional amount of cookies in small & large boxes = 1/2 + 3/7 = 13/14

Total amount of cookies in  small & large boxes = 18x + 7x + 126 = 25x + 126

Fractional amount of small cookies equals amount of small cookies in 18 boxes.

3/7y = 18x------------------Eqn 1

From eqn above y = 42x

Equating fractional sum & total sum =

25x + 126 = (13/14)y

Upon cross multiplication

350x + 1764 = 13y---------Eqn 2

Substituting y = 42x into equation 2

350x +1764 = 13(42x)

1764 = 546x - 350x

1764 = 196x

x = 9 cookies

Therefore total number of cookies = 42 × 9 = 378 cookies

Today joelle walked at a rate of 3 miles per hour and she ran 15 minutes at a rate of 6 miles per hour.How many total miles did
svetoff [14.1K]
I added a screenshot with the complete question

<u><em>Answer:</em></u>
Total miles = 2.5 miles

<u><em>Explanation:</em></u>
<u>1- While walking:</u>
We are given that Joelle walked 20 minutes at a rate of 3 miles per hour.
This means that she walked \frac{20}{60} =  \frac{1}{3} of an hour at a rate of 3 miles per hour
The formula that relates distance, time and velocity is:
Distance = velocity * time
<u>Substitute with the givens to get the distance she covered while walking:</u>
Distance = 3 * \frac{1}{3} = 1 mile

<u>2- While running:</u>
We are given that Joelle ran 15 minutes at a rate of 6 miles per hour
This means that she ran \frac{15}{60} =  \frac{1}{4} of an hour at a rate of 6 miles per hour
The formula that relates distance, time and velocity is:
Distance = velocity * time
<u>Substitute with the givens to get the distance she covered while running:</u>
Distance = 6 * \frac{1}{4} = 1.5 miles

<u>3- getting the total mileage:</u>
Total distance she covered = distance while walking + distance while running
Total distance she covered = 1 + 1.5
Total distance she covered = 2.5 miles

Hope this helps :)
