Number of weekend minutes used: x
Number of weekday minutes used: y

This month Nick was billed for 643 minutes:
(1) x+y=643

The charge for these minutes was $35.44
Telephone company charges $0.04 per minute for weekend calls (x)
and $0.08 per minute for calls made on weekdays (y)
(2) 0.04x+0.08y=35.44

We have a system of 2 equations and 2 unkowns:
(1) x+y=643
(2) 0.04x+0.08y=35.44

Using the method of substitution
Isolating x from the first equation:
(1) x+y-y=643-y
(3) x=643-y

Replacing x by 643-y in the second equation
(2) 0.04x+0.08y=35.44
0.04(643-y)+0.08y=35.44
25.72-0.04y+0.08y=35.44
0.04y+25.72=35.44

Solving for y:
0.04y+25.72-25.72=35.44-25.72
0.04y=9.72

Dividing both sides of the equation by 0.04:
0.04y/0.04=9.72/0.04
y=243

Replacing y by 243 in the equation (3)
(3) x=643-y
x=643-243
x=400

Answers:
The number of weekends minutes used was 400
The number of weekdays minutes used was 243

Donnie's dog had a litter of puppies. He notices that 2 are brown, 1 is white, and 3 are spotted. What is the ratio of total pup
Levart [38]

Answer:

The ratio of total puppies to brown puppies is 3 for 1. For every 3 puppies there is 1 brown puppie.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the ratio between the total puppies to brown puppies we need to take the total amount of puppies , that is, the sum of all the puppies and divide it by the number of brown puppies. So we have:

ratio  = total amount of puppies/brown puppies

ratio  = (3+2+1)/(2) = 6/2 = 3/1

The ratio is for every three puppies we have one brown puppie.

How do animators use math
Marina CMI [18]
Animators can create mountains using fractal geometry.

They create these mountains by breaking large triangles into smaller and smaller triangles, as a result, these large triangles end up looking like mountains.

An animator became a millionaire because he discovered this. He sold his mountain animations to air travel companies who wanted to place photographs of planes behind mountains in their advertisements.

It would've been expensive to take photos of planes behind real mountains, so these air travel companies decided to buy this animator's animations of mountains in order to save money.

What happened to this animator? Well he got hired by Pixar to help create the movie Toy Story and became even wealthier.
