Fiona has 15 nickles.

In this case, it does not really matter what the objects are. We know that Ali has 3 of them and Fiona has 5 times as many, so in order to find the answer, we are going to multiply Ali's amount by 5.

Ali * 5 = Fiona

3 * 5 = Fiona

15 = Fiona

A cat chases a mouse. The cat is originally 4 feet behind the mouse, which is running in the same direction along the same route

Darya [45]

The cat will take 0.8 seconds to catch up with the mouse

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The distance between the cat and the mouse = 4 feet

cat's speed = 17 feet per second.

mouse's speed = 12 feet per second

To Find:

how long will it take the cat to catch up with the mouse = ?

Solution:

We know that

distance = speed x time

Rewriting the equation for time we get

time = $\frac{distance }{speed}$

now we know that distance is 4 feet

and the speed is 17 -12 = 5 feet per second

Thus the time is

= $\frac{4}{5}$

= 0.8 seconds

A couple does not wish to spend more than $60 for dinner at a restaurant. if a sales tax of 7% is added to the bill and they pla

Firlakuza [10]

Hey there!

The first step of this problem would be to add together our two percentages, then convert that percentage into a decimal by dividing by 100.

15% + 7% = 22%

22 ÷ 100 = 0.22

It can be assumed here that 22% of the cost will be added tax and tip. We can use 0.22 to represent that percentage in our problem. Just multiply that decimal by the maximum amount of money they want to spend, $60, to get the amount that will just be tax and tip. Finally, subtract the tax and tip from $60 to find the most they can spend on the meal itself.

60 × 0.22 = 13.20

60 – 13.20 = 46.80

The total amount they can spend is 46.80.

Hope this helped you out! :-)
