If i am reading this question correctly it states "How many math assignments can he complete in 8 hours" leaving out the science assignments because it states he'd do them tomorrow its simple math. 8 divided by 2 which is 4 math assignments he can complete in 8 hours.

Answer: 4 exercises.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that Gerald has 8 hours to complete a set of assignments if x is the number of math assignments and y is the number of physics assignments, we need to solve the equation:

2x + y = 8

Now, we know that Gerald decides to leave the science assignments for the next day, so on this first day we do not have physics assignments, which implies that y = 0

So now we have the equation 2x = 8

x = 8/2 = 4

x = 4

So we the maximum number that Gerald can complete in 8 hours is equal to 4 (in the situation in which he left the science assignments for the other day)

timofeeve [1]

Answer:

3h - 30 > 0

h > 10

Step-by-step explanation:

To make a profit, subtract $36 in cost from the income coming in.

She charges $6 and then $3 per hour or 3h. Her income coming in is 6 + 3h.

Subtract 36 from it to find the profit.

3h + 6 - 36

3h - 30

To make a profit, she needs to make more than $0 or > 0.

3h - 30 > 0

Solve using inverse operations.

3h - 30 > 0

3h > 30

h > 10

Divide. Write in simplest form. 10 divided by 1 2/3 ?
adell [148]

Answer: 6

Step-by-step explanation: First rewrite 10 as 10/1 and 1 and 2/3 as 5/3.

Mixed numbers can be changed to improper fractions by multiplying the denominator by the whole number and then adding the numerator. We then put out numerator over our old denominator.

So we have 10/1 ÷ 5/3 or 10/1 × 3/5.

It's important to understand that dividing by a fraction is the same as multiplying by its reciprocal. In other words, we can change the division to multiplication and flip the second fraction.

Now multiplying across the numerators and across the denominators, we have 30/5. Notice however that 30/5 is not in lowest terms so we divide the numerator and the denominator by the greatest common factor of 30 and 5 which is 6 and we end up with 6.

Therefore, 10 ÷ 1 and 2/3 = 6.
