For every 5 pages in a book Fred reads, Lonnie reads 4 pages. In 1 hour, they read a combined total of 36 pages. How many pages

nydimaria [60]

Answer:

Hence the number of pages read by Lonnie is 16 pages when they read a combined of 36 pages.

Step-by-step explanation:

The table that can be formed by the rate at which they study the number of pages of a book is:

Fred Lonnie total

5 4 9

10 8 18

15 12 27

20 16 36

That means when they read a combined of 36 pages.

Then the number of pages read by Fred is 20 pages.

and the number of pages read by Lonnie is 16 pages.

(

Also it could be done as :

Let Fred reads 'x' pages.

so, the number of pages read by Lonnie is: (4/5)x

Hence,

x+(4/5)x=36

on solving this linear equation we have:

x=20

and (4/5)x=16

)

Hence the number of pages read by Lonnie is 16 pages when they read a combined of 36 pages.

A cube has a surface area of 486 cm2. What is the side length ?

astraxan [27]

A Cube, has all equal sides, namely, the length, width and height
are all equal to each other

so.. notice the picture added here
you have really, 6 squares, stacked up to each other at the edges

so...what is the Area of one of those squares?
well, if the sides are equal, let's say the side is "x" long, then
the Area is $x\cdot x \implies x^2$

well, you have 6 of those squares, thus $\bf \textit{surface area of a cube}=
\begin{cases}
(x\cdot x)+\\
(x\cdot x)+\\
(x\cdot x)+\\
(x\cdot x)+\\
(x\cdot x)+\\
(x\cdot x)\\
 --------------\\
 x^2+x^2+x^2+x^2+x^2\\
6x^2
\end{cases}
\\\\
\textit{we know the Area is }486\ cm^2\qquad thus
\\\\
\textit{surface area}=6x^2\implies 486=6x^2$

solve for "x", to get one side's length
