This is actually a trick question if you were to take this question head on. Say for instance you are cutting all the pieces from the same sheet of metal, the equation would NOT be 8 times 5 equals 40 minutes, but rather 7 times 5 equals 35 minutes. this is because on the 7th cut, it takes that from 6 sheets of metal to 8 because you get 2 from that cut. Take for instence, a Hersheys candy bar. It is 3 bars thick, but it only takes 2 breaks to sever the 3 strips. So, that being said, sam will make 7 cuts and those 7 cuts will make a times of 35 minutes.

Answer:

\frac{10a+300}{200}

Step-by-step explanation:

1. take 10 times a and get 10a and put in the numerator spot of your answer

2. then do 15 times 20 which is 300 so add 300 to 10a in the numerator spot of your answer

3. multiple 20 times 10 which is 200 and make it your denominator of your answer

This method is called the butterfly method

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Batting average = 0.25 after 160 times at bat;

Batting Average = Number of hits / number of times at bat

0.25 = number of hits / 160

Number of hits = 0.25 * 160 = 40

He want batting average to improve to 0.333 ; if he makes hit the next x times at bat ; number of hits is needed to improve batting average

Hence,

New average = number of hits / number of times at bat

0.333 = (number of hits + x) / (160 + x)

0.333 = (40 + x) / (160 + x)
