In a group of 48 children,there are twice as many boys as girls.How many girls are there ?

1 answer:

6 0

There are three groups. One group for girls. One group for half the boys which is equal to one group of girls and another identical sized group of boys because there are twice as many boys as girls.

48=total
3=number of groups

48/3=16

16 is equal to the number of girls because it is equal to half the number of boys

16*2=32

32+16=48

Number of boys plus number number of girls: 32+16=48

a welder earns $20 an hour for the first 40 hours she works in a week and $30 for every hour over 40 hours. Determine a piece wi

7nadin3 [17]

If she works 40 hours or less then she earns 20x dollars.
If she works more than 40 hours, then she earns 20×40 dollars for the first 40 hours and 30×(x-40) dollars for <span>every hour over 40 hours. The number of hours over 40 hours is x-40.</span>

$f(x)= \left \{ {{20x,x \leq 40} \atop {40\times20+30(x-40),x\ \textgreater \ 40} \right.$

An airplane flies 810 km in 1.5 hours. How far will the plane fly into. Two hours if it maintains the same airspeed

nadezda [96]

It would help to first find the unit rate. We know that the plane flies 810 km per 1.5 hours. Divide by 1.5 on both sides:

810/1.5 = 540 km/hour

Then, multiply both the hour and the distance by 2:

540 * 2 = 1080 km/2 hours.
