Answer:
6:1
Step-by-step explanation:
1 hr= 60 minutes
60 minutes= 3600 seconds
3600:600
36:6
Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
Given 2 similar figures with sides in the ratio a : b
Then the ratio of their areas is a² : b²
Hence
ratio of sides = 2 : 9, then
ratio of areas = 2² : 9² = 4 : 81 → A
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
Since you are trying to figure out how many miles she can drive in 1 hour and you already have half of that hour, all you would need to do is double that number.
×
=
Now, all you would need to do is simplify the answer.
= 1
or 1.6
The answer would be, Suzy can drive 1
or 1.6 miles in 1 hour.
I hope this helps!
