Well, you will need to find out how much each person reads per hour. To find that out, you will need to divide 126 by 3, resulting in 41 pages an hour. If you do the same thing with Zack, you will be able to find out that he reads 45 pages an hour. Now, you will need to multiply the number of pages per hour by 5! if you multiply 41 by 5, you get 205 pages. If you multiply 45 by 5, you get 225 pages. Pam isnt able to read more than 215 pages in 5 hours, but Zack is able to.

First find how many pages each has left to read. 215-126=89
215-180=35.
Then set up a proportion for first reader. 3hours/126pages=x hours/89pages. This will give you the rate it would take to finish 89 pages.
3/126=x/89
267/126=x
2.12=x......
Therefore at that rate the reader will not meet the time limit. (3+2.12=5.12>5)

Do the same thing for reader 2
4/180=x/35
140/180=x
.78
4+.78=4.78<5
Reader 2 will make it

A Fruit Stand sells 6 oranges for $3.00 and grapefruit for $2.40 people buy 10 oranges and 11 grapefruits much does the fruit sp
Harlamova29_29 [7]
<span>The <u>correct answer</u> is:

$31.40.

Explanation<span>:

Since 6 oranges cost $3.00, we can divide to find the cost of one orange:

3.00/6 = $0.50. Each orange costs $0.50.

If ten oranges are bought, this would cost 10(0.50)=$5.00.

Each grapefruit costs $2.40; 11 of them would cost 11(2.40) = 26.40.

Together the total cost is $5+$26.40 = $31.40.</span></span>

Given two similar triangles, how does one use proportions to find the lengths of one of the sides of one of the triangles? Answe

<h3>♫ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - ~<u>Hello There</u>!~ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - ♫</h3>

➷ As they are similar triangles, there will be a scale factor between them. You may be given one pair of values on the triangle. Divide the larger value by the smaller value in order to find the scale factor between the triangles. For example, if the larger triangle has a length of 6cm and the smaller triangle has a length of 3cm, the scale factor would be 2. You would then multiply the given side by the scale factor to get the length.

<u>Corrected Question</u>

Garth buys 24 kilograms of candy. He then repacks the candy into small bags of 3/4 kilogram each. How many bags does he pack?

Answer:

C. 32 bags

Step-by-step explanation:

Total Weight of Bag bought =24 kilograms

Since Garth wants to repack the candy into small bags of 3/4 kg, we simply divide 24 by 3/4 to obtain the number of small bags.

24 \div \dfrac{3}{4}= 24 X \dfrac{4}{3}\\=32

There will be 32 small bags of 3/4 kg.

The correct option is C.
