Answer:
Her error was multiplying numerator by numerator ( that is Quantity of Bone-shaped treats)
Step-by-step explanation:
Sarah's calculation
Let
x = cost of 12 Bone-shaped treats
Quantity of Bone-shaped treats : price
5 : 3.5 = 12 : x
(5/3.5) = (12/x)
Cross product
3.5x=60 (Here is her error)
x=17.14
Correct calculation
Quantity of Bone-shaped treats : price
5 : 3.5 = 12 : x
5 / 3.5 = 12 / x
Cross product
5 * x = 3.5 * 12
5x = 42
x = 42 / 5
= 8.4
x = $8.4
Her error was multiplying numerator by numerator ( that is Quantity of Bone-shaped treats)
Instead of multiplying Quantity of Bone-shaped treats by cost
Answer: 29%
Step-by-step explanation:
You need to divide the rent, 8265, by the amount of money he earns.
8265/28500 is .29
Multiply that by 100 to get it in percent form
Answer:
0.578 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
If boxes of books arrive at a rate of 1 per 8 minutes, the number of boxes per hour is:
If the service rate is 1 box per 6.5 minutes, the number of boxes per hour is:
The average time from when a box of novels arrives until shredding is complete is:
The average time in the system is 0.578 hours.
1/5a + 1/3 = 1/3a - 1/3
1/5a + 2/3 = 1/3a
2/3 = 2/15a
1/5 = x
Answer:
1. 5
2. 5
3. -3
4.y= -1
5. 5
Step-by-step explanation:
1.)x- 2y= -25 ; y=3x
x-2(3x)=(-25)
x-6x=(-25) ; -5x=(-25) ; x=5
2.) 5x+3y =40; x=y
8y=40; y=5
3.) 4x-3y= -27; x=3y
4(3y)-3y= -27; 12y-3y=-27; 9y=-27; y=-3
4.)x-y=9; x=-8y; -8y-y=9; -9y=9; y=-1
5.) 2x+2y=30; y=2x ; 2x+2(2x)=30; 6x=30; x=5
