1 answer:

5 0

142=120% of x
120% of x= 1.2x
142=1.2x
142/1.2 = 1.2x/1.2
x= 118.33

The unknown number should be 118.33, rounded to 118 or so.

3 feet of snow fell in 1 2/3 hours. What was that rate in inches per hours?

dalvyx [7]

Answer:

21 $\frac{3}{5}$ in/hr

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance of snow fall = 3ft

Time taken = 1 $\frac{2}{3}$ hrs

Unknown:

Rate of snowfall = ?

Solution:

The rate of the snowfall is the same as the speed of the fall;

Rate of snowfall = $\frac{distance of snowfall}{time}$

Convert the ft to inches;

1ft = 12inches

3ft = 3 x 12 = 36inches

Input the parameters and solve;

Rate of snowfall = $\frac{36}{\frac{5}{3} }$ = 36 x $\frac{3}{5}$ = 21 $\frac{3}{5}$ in/hr

A store sells pencils in small and large boxes. A large box has ten times as many pencils as a small box. Mr. Adachi buys 5 smal

MArishka [77]

Answer:

$\boxed{5x+2y=250}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let $x$ represent a small box of pencil and $y$ represent a large box of pencil.

We were told that "A large box has ten times as many pencils as a small box". This statement gave the equation;

$y=10x$

If Mr. Adachi buys 5 small boxes and 2 large boxes, for a total of 250 pencils, then the equation Mr. Adachi set up was;

$5x+2y=250$

where $a=5$ and $b=2$ has no common factor other than 1.
