Just divide the two:
7 1/2=15/2
15/2 /9=15/18, which simplifies to 5/6

I believe you should divide the minutes by the amount of pages to get the average rate per minutes. 9/7.5

Makaila read 44 pages of her book yesterday and 2/3 of the book today. If she read a total of 200 pages in the past two days how
pogonyaev

Answer:

Total number of pages in the book is 234.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume that the total number of pages in the book = <em>x</em>

Now, it is given that Makaila read 44 pages yesterday.

Also, Makaila read two-third of the book today. As we have assumed that, there are a total of x number of pages in the book, so we can say that Makaila read two-third of <em>x </em>number of pages today.

Number of pages read by Makaila today = \frac{2}{3}\;of\;x=\frac{2}{3}\times\;x=\frac{2x}{3}

Now, it is also given that, Makaila read a total of 200 pages in the past two days.

∴ according to question,

Pages read yesterday + Pages read today = 200

⇒44+\frac{22x}{3}=200

⇒\frac{44\times3+2x}{3}=200

⇒\frac{132+2x}{3}=200

⇒132+2x=200\times3\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;[On\;cross-multiplying]

⇒132+2x=600

⇒2x=600-132

⇒2x=468

⇒x=\frac{468}{2}=234

∴ Total number of pages in the book = <em>x</em> = 234

Angel bought 8 oranges and 11 apples for a total of $15.22.He knows that each orange cost $0.50 and reasoned that each Apple mus
Schach [20]
Oranges = x
apples = y

8x + 11y = 15.22
x = 0.50

8(0.50) + 11y = 15.22
4 + 11y = 15.22
11y = 15.22 - 4
11y = 11.22
y = 11.22/11
y = 1.02 <== cost of each apple

The number of calories K is needed each day by a moderately active women who weight w pounds, is h inches tall, and is a year ol
drek231 [11]
K = 917 + 6(w + h - a)
k = 1925
w = 119
a = 25

1925 = 917 + 6(119 + h - 25) =
1925 = 917 + 6(h + 94)
1925 = 917 + 6h + 564
1925 = 1481 + 6h
1925 - 1481 = 6h
444 = 6h
444/6 = h
74 = h........she is 74 inches tall

A scientist needs 4.8 liters of a 12% alcohol solution. She has available a 22% and a 10% solution. How many liters of the 22% a
yanalaym [24]

Answer:

  • 4.0 L of 10%
  • 0.8 L of 22%

Step-by-step explanation:

For mixture problems, it is convenient to define a variable to represent the amount of the greatest contributor. Let x represent the amount of 22% solution in the mix. Then 4.8-x is the amount of 10% solution.

The amount of alcohol in the mix is ...

  0.22x +0.10(4.8-x) = 0.12(4.8)

Eliminating parentheses, we have ...

  0.22x -0.10x +0.10(4.8) = 0.12(4.8)

Subtracting (0.10)(4.8) and combining x-terms gives ...

  0.12x = 0.02(4.8)

  x = (0.02/0.12)(4.8) = 0.8 . . . . . divide by the x-coefficient

The scientist needs 0.8 L of 22% solution and 4.0 L of 10% solution.
