The answer is 4. 3 busses would carry 180, so you gotta have that one extra bus. The question is set up to kind of throw you off but it's quite simple
Answer:
Joe is 14.
Martha is 28.
Step-by-step explanation:
Use the variables and information from the question to make equations.
If Joe's age is half Martha's:
(1/2)m = j OR 2j = m
If their ages combined is 42:
m + j = 42
We can substitute the equation m=2j into equation m + j = 42, replacing "m".
m + j = 42 Substitute m for 2j
2j + j = 42 Combine like terms, terms with same varables
3j = 42 Divide both sides by 3 to isolate j
j = 14 Joe's age
Since j = 14, we can substitute it into equation m=2j to find "m".
m = 2j Substitute j for 14
m = 2(14) Simplify
m = 28 Martha's age
Therefore Joe is 14 and Martha is 28.
It’s meters squared. Since you need to find the area in order to find the amount of fertilizer, the area is expressed as the unit squared.
Answer:
- boat: 16 mph
- current: 4 mph
Step-by-step explanation:
speed = distance / time
The rate downriver is (60 mi)/(3 h) = 20 mi/h.
The rate upriver is (60 mi)/(5 h) = 12 mi/h.
The rate of the boat in still water is the average of these:
(20 +12)/2 mi/h = 16 mi/h
The rate of the current is the difference between the boat speed and actual speed:
16 mi/h - 12 mi/h = 4 mi/h
Answer: 1. $45*1.07 | $45(1.07) 2. (0.85)*32 represent the final price of the cake in dollars because (0.85) is the 15% off in decimals.
Step-by-step explanation:
1 if you multiply 45 by 1.07 it will be 48.15 and that's the final cost of the book, same with $45(1.07) is just another way to represent the multiplication.
2 As I said the 0.85 represent the 15% off, and when you multiply it will be less.
