If a pencil factory makes 50 cases of pencils in 5 hours. Let's first find out how many cases are made per hour.
50 ÷ 5 = 10 cases per hour
Now you need to know how long it will take to make 55 cases. Since we already know that it takes 5 hours to make 50 cases. So you need to know how many cases for the extra 5 cases. If it takes 1 hour to make 10 cases, it would only take 1/2 hour to make 5 cases.
So it would take 5 1/2 hours to make 55 cases.
Hope this helps. :)
250/974 = x/40,000...250 opposed to 974 total = x opposed to 40,000 total
cross multiply because this is a proportion
974x = 10,000,000
x = 10,000,000/974
x = 10266.94 rounds to 10,267 <==
question number 36 the answer is always true because rational numbers are numbers that can be turned into fractions or simple fractions easily and any integers that is positive added together will provide a positive answer.
37. the answer is always true because and a negative integer and a negative integer added together will give a negative answer.
38. sometimes true. a positive intergee plus a negative interger can give a positive or negative answer. eg -3+2=-1 but -4+8=4
39. always true. + multiply + =+
40. never true. - multiply - = +
