Answer: n/5 - 10 = 18: this would be the equation. Your answer would be 140.

Step-by-step explanation: Let consider the number as ‘X’

Quotient of a number and 5 can be written as

X divided by 5

Ten subtracted from the quotient of a number and 5 can be written as

(X divided by 5)-10

Ten subtracted from the quotient of a number and 5 is 18 can be written as

(X divided by 5)-10=18

By solving the above equation, find ‘X’

(X divided by 5) = 18 + 10

X/5=28

X = 28 x 5 = 140

The distance from Gary's school to the corner market is 47 yards.The distance to the BART station is 12 times as far How far is

andre [41]

Answer:

The distance from Gary's school to the BART station is 564 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the distance from Gary's school to the corner market

y ----> the distance from Gary's school to the BART station

we have

$x=47\ yd$

we know that

To find out the distance from Gary's school to the BART station, multiply the distance from Gary's school to the corner market by 12

$y=12x$

substitute the value of x

$y=12(47)=564\ yd$

therefore

The distance from Gary's school to the BART station is 564 yards

Will ran the diagonal distance across a square field measuring 40 yards on each side. James Ran the diagonal distance across A r

ozzi

Answer:

Will ran the longer distance.

He run 56.40 yards longer distance.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is incorrect so the correct question is below.

Will ran the diagonal distance across a square field measuring 40 yards on each side. James ran the distance across a rectangular field with a length of 25 yards and a width of 35 yards. Who ran a longer distance,and how much longer did he run?

Now, to find the person who ran longer distance and the distance he run.

Will ran the diagonal distance across a square field.

The length of square field = 40 yards.

So, we put formula to get the diagonal of square:

$Diagonal=length\sqrt{2}$

$Diagonal=40\times \sqrt{2}$

$Diagonal=40\times 1.41$

$Diagonal=56.40\ yards.$

Thus, Will ran 56.40 yards diagonal distance of the square field.

Now, James ran the distance across a rectangular field with a length of 25 yards and a width of 35 yards.

So, to get the diagonal of rectangular field we use pythagorean theorem:

$Diagonal^2=length^2+width^2$

$Diagonal^2=25^2+35^2$

$Diagonal^2=625+1225$

$Diagonal^2=1850$

Using square root on both sides we get:

$Diagonal=43.01\ yards.$

Hence, James ran the diagonal distance 43.01 yards across the rectangular field.

Now, we see the diagonal distance of both Will and James.

As, Will ran 56.40 yards and James ran 43.01 yards.

So, Will ran longer distance than James. And he run 56.40 yards.

Therefore, Will ran the longer distance.

He run 56.40 yards longer distance.

Select an equation to solve the problem. Then solve. Joaquin is saving $369 to buy a surf board. He saved $9 each week for 11 we

iVinArrow [24]

Answer:

$9m = 270$

$m = \$30$

Joaquin needs to save $30 each week.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total money required for buying a surf board = $369

Money saved every week for first 11 weeks = $9

Total money saved in first 11 weeks = 11 $\times$ 9 = $99

Joaquin wants to buy the surf board in 9 more weeks.

To find:

Money to be saved each week for the next 9 weeks so that the surf board can be bought?

Solution:

Let the money to be saved each week for the next 9 months = $ $m$

Total money to be saved in the next 9 months = $9 $m$

Now, let us find the remaining amount of money to be saved by subtracting the total money saved from the cost of surf board. And then compare it with $9 $m$ .

$369 - 99 = 9m\\\Rightarrow 9m = 270$

Solving the equation, we get:

$m = \$30$

Therefore, Joaquin needs to save $30 each week.
