1. Start by identifying what the question wants so we are looking for miles per 1 gallon.
2. Set up a statement. When the word “per” is being used it relates to a fraction or a ratio. In this question we need to find how many miles a single gallon will give us. So set it up as miles/gallons
3. Plug in your numbers. Now our statement is 13 miles/15 gallons
4. Calculate. So do 13/15 which equals 0.86 miles per 1 gallon.
Tip: always add in words into your calculations. Mainly the units you are using so you can quickly look and know what the units will be. This will help you in upper placement math as well
Answer:Number of children = 2 and number of adults = 9 attended the play
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1
Let the number of children be represented as x
and the number of adults in the group be represented as as y
such that the total number of the group that went to the play
= x+y=11--- equation 1
And the total cost paid for the play will be expressed as
15x+ 22y= 228------ equation 2
Step 2-- Solving
x+y=11--- equation 1
15x+ 22y= 228------ equation 2
B y elimination method, multiply equation 1 by 15 to give equation 3 and then subtract from equation 2
15x+ 22y= 228------ equation 2
15x+15Y= 165----- equation 3
7y=63
y= 63/7= 9
y= adults = 9
therefore x = number of children will be
x+y=11
x+ 9=11
x= 11-9= 2
In the group that attended the play, Number of children = 2 and number of adults = 9
Hello! First, let's get some important information:
Luke works in the:
- week → grocery store → $16/hour
- weekend → nursery → $22/hour
Now, let's analyze the questions:
<h3>a) How much does he earn if he works 5 hours at the grocery store and 8 hours at the nursery? </h3>
To find the amount he will receive, you must multiply the amount of 1 hour by the number of hours worked. Look:
<h3>b) How much does he earn if he works g hours at the grocery store and n hours at the nursery?</h3>
<h3>c) Total pay, 5 hours at the grocery store and 8 hours at the nursery:</h3>
You'll just have to just add the value in each of the jobs:
$80 + $176 = $256
<h3>d) Total pay, g hours at the grocery store and n hours at the nursery:</h3>
Adding the values of each job:
$16g + $22n
Hope this helps!
