Answer:

3 hours and 20 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Jack's rate is 1 puzzle for every 5 hours, so his rate per hour is 1/5 of a puzzle per hour.

We need to find the rate of his brother so here is our equation,

1/5 + 1/x = 1/2

1/2 - 1/5 =1/x

3/10 = 1/x

3/ 3x = 3/10

3x=10

x= 3 and 1/3 hours

3 hours and 20 minutes

A section of ground measures 1.5 cubic meters and contains 0.78 gram of gold. What is the amount of gold per cubic meter? Enter

Marta_Voda [28]

To find the gold per cubic meter you have to divide the amount of gold by the size of the area. So you would do .78/1.5 which would give you .52g/m3

For each pair of similar figures, find the ratio of the area of the first figure to the area of the second.

Hitman42 [59]

answer:

$\frac{4}{9}$

explanation:

the area of the larger square is 36 (6*6), and the area of the smaller square is 16 (4*4). to find the ratio of the area, simply just put 16 over 36 and simplify.

$\frac{16}{36} = \frac{4}{9}$

. Which ordered pairs in the form (x, y) are solutions to the equation 7x – 5y = 28?

Brut [27]

we know that

If a ordered pair (x,y) is a solution of the equation, then the ordered pair must satisfy the equation

we have the equation

$7x-5y=28$

Let's verify all the cases to determine the solution to the problem.

case A) point $(-6,-14)$

Substitute the values of x and y in the equation

$x=-6\\y=-14$

$7(-6)-5(-14)=28$

$-42+70=28$

$28=28$ -------> is true

therefore

The point $(-6,-14)$ is a solution of the equation

case B) point $(-1,-7)$

Substitute the values of x and y in the equation

$x=-1\\y=-7$

$7(-1)-5(-7)=28$

$-7+35=28$

$28=28$ -------> is true

therefore

The point $(-1,-7)$ is a solution of the equation

case C) point $(4,10)$

Substitute the values of x and y in the equation

$x=4\\y=10$

$7(4)-5(10)=28$

$28-50=28$

$-22=28$ -------> is not true

therefore

The point $(4,10)$ is not a solution of the equation

case D) point $(7,9)$

Substitute the values of x and y in the equation

$x=7\\y=9$

$7(7)-5(9)=28$

$49-45=28$

$4=28$ -------> is not true

therefore

The point $(7,9)$ is not a solution of the equation

therefore

the answer is

$(-6,-14)$

$(-1,-7)$
