Answer:
61 bags of lettuce
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's create two equations representing the cost of bags of lettuce:
Val's Veggies: 250 + 1.50x = V
Sally's Salads: 100 + 4.00x = S
If you buy 60 bags of lettuce from either store, the answers will be equivalent:
If x = 60
250 + 1.50x = V
250 + 90 = V
340 = V
100 + 4.00x = S
100 + 240 = S
340 = S
Now that both equations are equivalent, all we need to do to tip the balance and make Val's Veggies cheaper is purchase one more bag of lettuce:
x = 61
250 + 1.50x = V
250 + 91.50 = V
341.50 = V
100 + 4.00x = S
100 + 244 = S
344 = S
Since V represents the price of a bag of lettuce at Val's Veggies and V is now less than S (Sally's Salads), Val's Veggies is now the cheaper option.
Therefore, 61 bags of lettuce must be purchased in order for Val's Veggies to be the cheaper option.
We know that
speed=distance/time
solve for time
time=distance/speed
in this problem
<span>Marco runs at a rate of 6 miles per hour.
</span><span>Fernando funs at a rate of 7.2 miles per hour
Difference=7.2-6=1.2 miles/hour
so
speed=1.2 miles/hour
distance=0.3 miles
time=?
</span>time=distance/speed-----> 0.3/1.2-----> 0.25 hour-----> 0.25*60=15 minutes
<span>
the answer is
0.25 hour (15 minutes)
Alternative Method
Let
x---------> Fernando's distance when Marco is 0.3 miles apart
</span>Fernando funs at a rate of 7.2 miles per hour
<span>for distance =x
time=x/7.2------> equation 1
</span>Marco runs at a rate of 6 miles per hour.
for distance=x-0.30
time=(x-0.30)/6------> equation 2
equate equation 1 and equation 2
7.2*(x-0.3)=6x-----> 7.2x-2.16=6x
7.2x-6x=2.16------> x=2.16/1.2-------> x=1.8 miles
time=x/7.2-----1.8/7.2=0.25 hour

Answer: The tripled tofu is 4 lb. 14 oz. Explanation: So you first want to turn your mass into the same unit, so change the pounds of tofu into ounces. There are 16 ounces in a pound, which means the total mass of the original tofu could be written as (16 oz.) + 10 oz. = 26 oz. tofu. Multiply this by 3, and you have tripled the tofu. 3 * 26 = 78. To simplify it, divide 78 oz by 16 to find pounds, and leave the remainder in ounces. 78/16 = 4 lb. 14 oz tofu.
The probability would be 2/6 or 1/3
