Answer:
34 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
Lets call M the number of hours that Maddie volunteered. Ryan volunteered 1 + 3×M hours, and altogether they volunteered 45 hours, so:
1 + 3×M + M = 45
1 + 4M = 45 Subtract 1 in both sides
4M = 44 Divide both sides by 4
M = 11 hours
So Maddie volunteered 11 hours, and Ryan volunteered
1 + 3×11 = 34 hours
6.5X + 9(30) = 8(30+X)6.5X +270 = 240 + 8X270-240 = 8X-6.5X1.5X = 30X = 30/1.5 =20 ounces of $6.50 alloy9 is within 1 of 86.5 is within 1.5 of 81.5 is 3/2 of 130 is 3/2 of 20You know you need more of $9 alloy since it's closer to $8You need exactly 3/2 or 1.5 times more of the $9 alloy30 is 1.5 times 20
