Answer: First half was 24 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the time taken to finish the second half be y.
Since the student used 2/3 of the second half time to finish the first half, first half = 2/3 × y = 2y/3
The entire exam is an hour which equals 60 minutes
First half + Second half = 60minutes
Note that first half is denoted as 2y/3 and second half is denoted by y.
2y/3 + y = 60
5y/3 = 60
Cross multiply
5y = 60 × 3
5y = 180
y = 180/5
y = 36
Second half took 36 minutes
Since first half is 2y/3, it will be:
(2×36) / 3
= 72/3
= 24minutes
First half took 24 minutes.
Step-by-step explanation:
what did we learn in the other question ?
there are 8 equal sub-segments of 1/8 length between neighboring whole numbers.
so, each little line is 1/8.
the marker goes first to 1, and then one little line towards 2.
therefore, that number is 1 1/8.
Answer: 3/28
Step-by-step explanation:
Here we go, whenever you see the word "of" this mean to multiply
2/7 x 3/8 = 3/28
Answer: 3/28 .

take x =initial deposit amount. then make equation:
x+75.5+55.25-25.15-18.65 = 210.85
simplify:
x+86.95 = 210.85
x=210.85 - 86.95
x=123.90
so Initial deposit amount is $123.90
check: 210.85+18.65+25.15-55.25-75.5 = 123.9
123.9 = 123.9
