Answer:

Number of problems = 240

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of questions and t be the time.

Given:

Average rate = 8 problems per minute

Fast Finn rate = 10 problems per minute

Fast Finn taken time = t - 6

We need to find the number of problems on the test paper.

Solution:

Average rate to solve test paper.

Average\ rate =\frac{Number\ of\ questions}{time}  

8 =\frac{x}{t}

t =\frac{x}{8} --------------(1)

Fast Finn rate to solve the test paper.

Average\ rate =\frac{Number\ of\ questions}{time}  

10 =\frac{x}{t-6}

Using cross multiplication rule.

x=10(t-6)

x=10t-60

substitute t =\frac{x}{8}  from equation 1.

x=10(\frac{x}{8}) -60

Rearrange the equation as:

x - \frac{5}{4}x = -60

\frac{4x-5x}{4}=-60

-\frac{x}{4} =  -60

Using cross multiplication rule.

x = 60\times 4

x = 240 problems.

Therefore, 240 problems were on the test.

marty made two types of cookies. he used 2/3 cup of sugar for one recipe and 1/4 cup of sugar for the other. how much sugar did
Bezzdna [24]
He used 11/12 of sugar.

(1) I multiplied the factors and denominators by eachothers denominators
(2) I ended up with the two converted fractions: 8/12 and 3/12. The reason for this step is because if the two fractions have the smae denominator, it helps make it easier to add the fraction.
(3) I added the fractions, getting the sum of 11/12
