I'm afraid you're wrong. We may divide 24 by 8 to find out how long does it take for Alejandra to husk 1 ear of corn and then just divide 33 by the result:

24 ÷ 8 = 3

So Alejandra husks 1 ear of corn in 3 minutes.

33 ÷ 3 = 11

Answer: In 33 minutes Alejandra can husk <u>11 ears of corn</u>.

Part A: Clancey and Ethan are starting new books. So far, Clancey has read 1/4 of his book, which has 240 total pages and Ethan

Nonamiya [84]

In order to find who has read more pages, let's find the number of pages read by each one.

The number of pages read by Clancey is:

$\frac{1}{4}\cdot240=\frac{240}{4}=60$

The number of pages read by Ethan is:

$\frac{2}{5}\cdot170=\frac{340}{5}=68$

So Ethan read more pages.

The combined number of pages in both books is 240 + 170 = 410.

The combined number of pages read is 60 + 68 = 128

So the fraction is:

$\frac{128}{410}=\frac{64}{205}$

Kelly needs to order lunch for orders 6 people at a business meeting. Her menu choices are chicken salad for a cost of $5 per pe

nirvana33 [79]

Ok , with that information we can write the equations
x + y = 6
5x + 4y = 28

Where x = how many people ordered chicken
and y = how many people ordered egg salad

Through elimination , we can set one of the variables in both equations equal so we can eliminate it :

(4)x + (4)y = (4)6
5x + 4y = 28

4x + 4y = 24. equation 1
5x + 4y = 28. equation 2

Now we can subtract the second equation by the first equation and isolate one variable:
equation 2 - equation 1

5x - 4x + 4y - 4y = 28 - 24

x = 4

Now that we discovered our x value ( How many people ordered chicken salad ) , we can apply it to one of the equations and discover y ( how many people ordered egg salad)

x + y = 6
x= 4
4 + y = 6

We can shift 4 to the other side of the equation by subtracting 4 from both sides of the equation:
4 - 4 + y = 6 - 4
y = 2

x=4 and y=2

So the awnser is :
4 people ordered chicken salad and 2 people ordered egg salad!

I hope you understood my brief explanation!!

p.s if you want to know how to use another method to solve these problems ( Substition) , just let me know in a comentary down here

Hi quick whats 18 x 1.25 <br> step by step !!

Ivan

Answer:

22.5

Step-by-step explanation:

125

x 18

---------

1. first set up your problem

2 4

125

x 18

------

1000

2. next multiply the 8 by 5 getting 40, drop the 0 anf move the 4 to the top above 2.

3. multiply 8 by 2 getting 16, then add the 4 you have ontop of the 2 to the 16 getting 20. Drop the 0 and bring the 2 over and place it above the one.

4. multiply 8 by 1 getting 8 then add the 2 above the 1 to 8 getting 10. Then put the ten infront of the tw zeros. 1000

125

x 18

--------

1000

Next add a 0 as a place filler under the 0 at the end.

125

x 18

-------

1000

1250

Then multiply the 1 by 5, then 1 by 2, then finnaly 1 by 1, getting you 1250.

1000

+1250

add together

getting 2250

then move 2 decimal places over to get 22.5

Two number cubes are rolled.

hichkok12 [17]

Answer:

When two number cubes are rolled,

Sample space= Total Possible outcome {11,22,33,44,55,66,12,21,13,31,14,41,15,51,16,61,23,32,24,42,25,52,26,62,34,43,35,53,36,63,45,54,46,64,56,65}=36

Probability of an event = \frac{\text{Total favorable outcome}}{\text{Total possible outcome}}

Sum of 4 is obtained when ={13,31,22}=3

Probability of getting 4 when 2 number cubes are rolled= \frac{3}{36}=\frac{1}{12}

Sum of the numbers is greater than 9= 10, 11,12={55,64,46,56,65,66}=6

Probability of getting(Sum of the numbers is greater than 9)=\frac{6}{36}=\frac{1}{6}
