Answer:
Part A
12 pieces
Part B
Tara can cut Twelve 2/5 foot pieces can be cut from 4 4/5 feet of rope.
Step-by-step explanation:
Part A: How many 2/5 foot pieces can Tara cut from the 4 4/5 feet of rope?
This is calculated as:
4 4/5 feet of rope ÷ 2/5 foot pieces
= 24/5 ÷ 2/5
= 24/5 × 5/2
= 12
Part B: Using the information in Part A, interpret the meaning of the quotient in terms of the two fractions given
The quotient in Part A is 12
Therefore, this can be interpreted as:
Tara can cut Twelve 2/5 foot pieces can be cut from 4 4/5 feet of rope.
Answer:
$60
Step-by-step explanation:
Jason saved gas money (x). Maria saved $20 more than double what Jason has (20 + 2x). Combined, they saved $200. Solve for x for Jason's amount.
(x) + (20 + 2x) = 200
x + 20 + 2x = 200
3x + 20 = 200
3x + 20 = 200
3x + 20 - 20 = 200 - 20
3x = 180
3x/3 = 180/3
x = 60
Jason saved $60 for this trip.
Answer:
119.67
Step-by-step explanation:
a^2 + b^2 =c^2
Annual rate = 1.05%
Simple interest formula is I = Prt * 100
Where P is principle, I is interest, r is rate and t is time.
Transpose to make r the subject
Prt * 100 = I
r = I/ Pt * 100
Substitute values into the equation.
Let I = $1260, P = $30,000 and t = 4 years
r = $1260/ $30,000 * 4 * 100
r = 0.0105 * 100
r = 1.05%
