He starts saving $ in January to buy a gift in June. (which is 6 months, or 5 months not including June)

Each month he saves 2/3 of his allowance, which is $14.

[his allowance each month is $21, 2/3 of his allowance is $14]

(you multiply 21 by 2/3 = 42/3 = 14)

The gift he wants to buy is $110


x = the number of months

y = total cost


14x = y  

14x = 110    [he saves $14 each month, he wants to have a total of $110 to buy a gift]


Plug in 6 for x in the equation

14(6) = 110

84 = 110   (He is $26 short, so saving either for 5 or 6 months will not get Ian $110)


Ian will not have enough money because he is $26 short for 6 months or $40 short for 5 months. (you can decide whether you want to go by 5 months or 6(including June), sorry for the confusing answer)

Step-by-step explanation:

a) 2/5 × 5/7 = 10/35 ➡ 2/7 (if needed to simplify)

b) 16/25 × 2/4 = 32/100 ➡ 8/25

c) 15/6 ÷ 3/15 ➡ 15/6 × 15/3 = 25/2

d) 4/11 × 12/9 = 16/33

e) 3/5 × 7/12 = 7/20

f) 9/27 × 2/6 ➡ 9/27 × 6/2 = 3

Joe is going to travel to dallas. he lives 320 miles away and can average 69 miles per hour. use an equation to represent the di
ryzh [129]

The equation for the distance d from Dallas, in terms of h, the number of hours Joe has traveled is <u>d = 320 - 69h</u>. Hence, <u>option B</u> is the right choice.

The total distance that Joe needs to cover to travel to Dallas = 320 miles {As he lives 320 miles away from Dallas}.

The distance that Joe covers after traveling for h hours at an average speed of 69 miles per hour = 69h {as Distance = Speed*Time}

Therefore, the distance left to cover by Joe, that is the distance from Dallas d can be written as the difference between the total distance needed to be covered and the distance Joe already covered.

Thus the equation is d = 320 - 69h.

Thus, the equation for the distance d from Dallas, in terms of h, the number of hours Joe has traveled is <u>d = 320 - 69h</u>. Hence, <u>option B</u> is the right choice.
