Hello!

To find how much shelves we cut, we need to divide 9 feet by 3/7 feet. When dividing by fractions, it is like multiplying its reciprocal.

This means that the reciprocal of 3/7 is 7/3.

9 / \frac{3}{7} = \frac{9}{1} * \frac{7}{3} = \frac{63}{3} = 21

Therefore, if each shelf is 3/7 feet in length, then there are 21 shelves.

Given:

Henry can type 3500 words in 70 minutes.

Colin can type 1500 in 30 minutes.

Brian can type 2200 words in 40 minutes.

To find:

The person who types at the fastest rate of words per minute.

Solution:

We know that,

\text{Rate of words per minute}=\dfrac{\text{Number of words}}{\text{Number of minutes}}

Using this formula, we get

\text{Henry's rate of words per minute}=\dfrac{3500}{70}=50

\text{Colin's rate of words per minute}=\dfrac{1500}{30}=50

\text{Brian's rate of words per minute}=\dfrac{2200}{40}=55

Since 55>50, therefore Brian's types at the fastest rate of words per minute.

Mnenie [13.5K]
You are correct for the first part, you would be 16 and your Mom would be 44. After 8 years, you would be 24 and your mother would be 52. You solve the second part by adding 8 to 16 which equals 24. Then multiply 24 times 3 which equals 72. Lastly, subtract 20 from 72 to find your mother's new age. Which would be 52.

Hope this helps !
