Answer:

Part A:

x+y= 95

x = y+25

Part B : 35 minutes

Part C : No

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Part A :

Eric plays basketball and volleyball for a total of 95 minutes every day

x+y= 95

Where:

x =the number of minutes Eric plays basketball

y= the number of minutes he plays volleyball  

He plays basketball for 25 minutes longer than he plays volleyball.

x = y+25

System:

x+y= 95

x = y+25

  • Part B:

Replacing x=y+25 on the first equation:

(y+25) + y =95

Solving for Y

y+25+y =95

25+2y=95

2y=95-25

2y=70

y = 70/2

y = 35 minutes

Part C : No

if x = 35

x+y= 95

35+y =95

y= 95-35

y = 60 minutes

Replacing y=60 on the other equation:

x = y+25

35 = 60+25

35 ≠85

How can i learn times faster like 3's til 12's in Times i have a hard time in my times can someone tell me how i can learn them
iogann1982 [59]
To get better at 12's:
Write down on your paper your 1's facts in column skip 5 and 11 going to 14 (a vertical line - line that goes up and down). To the right of that column, write your two's facts 0 to 8 and repeat again. Then you will have your 12's! Should look as follows

12's:

0    0 = 12 x0
1    2 = 12 x1
2    4 = 12 x2
3    6 = 12 x3
4    8 = 12 x4
6    0 = 12 x5
7    2 = 12 x6
8    4 = 12 x7
9    6 = 12 x8
10  8 = 12 x9
12  0 = 12 x10
13  2 = 12 x 11
14  4 = 12 x 12

There are three grades in the school. One grade has 1/3 of the students, one grade has 1/4 of the students. What fraction of stu
AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the total number of stdents that has all grades in the school.

There are three grades in the school. One grade has 1/3 of the students, this means that number of students that belongs tho this grade is 1/3 × x = x/3

One grade has 1/4 of the students, this means that number of students that belongs to this grade is 1/4 × x = x/4

Total number of students in both grades would be x/3 +/x/4 = 7x/12

The number of students in the remaining grade would be

x - 7x/12 = 5x/12

fraction of students in the remaining grade would be

(5x/12)/x = 5/12

Michelle and matthew bake carrot cake at their bakery. For every 9 cups of shredded carrots they use, they use 6 cups of sugar.
Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer: 21 cups of shredded carrots.

Step-by-step explanation:

For every 9 cups of shredded carrots they use, they use 6 cups of sugar.

To use one cup of sugar therefore, the number of cups of shredded carrot is:

= 9/6

= 1.5 cups of shredded carrot

For every 1.5 cups of shredded carrot, a cup of sugar is used.

If they were to use 14 cups of sugar, they would therefore use:

= 14 * 1.5 cups of carrot

= 21 cups of shredded carrot
