One expression that Gary can use,where y is the amount of food eaten in a year and x the amount of food eaten in a weeks is:
y=x*52
but we actually know that the cats eat one third of 3 1/2 pounds, that is:
So we can substitute this:
y=

which is y=7*13=91
So we actually know that the cats eat 91 pounds of food a year!
Answer:
5 km/h
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x km/h be Ed's rate in the evening, then x+1 km/h is his rate in the morning. It takes him
hours in the morning to pass 12 km;
hours in the evening to pass 12 km.
In total, it takes him 5 hours 24 minutes (
hours), then

Solve this equation:

Ed's rate cannot be negative, thus x=4 km/h. His morning rate is x+1=5 km/h.
Answer:
d =
≈ 5.1 ( to 1 dec. place )
Step-by-step explanation:
to calculate the distance d use the distance formula
d = √ (x₂ - x₁ )² + (y₂ - y₁ )²
with (x₁, y₁ ) = (
, 3) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (
, 8)
d =√ (
-
)² - (8 - 3)²
=
=
≈ 5.1

Answer:
birr 80
Step-by-step explanation:
The total number of ratio units is 1+3+5+7 = 16. The largest amount is represented by 7 ratio units, so is 7/16 of the total. The total contributed is ...
16/7 × (birr 35) = birr 80
