Amy: (3 pages/min)(x min) + 9 pages
Sam: (2 pages/min)(x min) + 47 pages
Equate these: 3x+9 = 2x + 47
Then x = 38. The two friends will have covered the same number of pages after 38 minutes. How many pages would that be? 3(38)+9 = 123 pages.
Answer:
hello :)
no quite sure but I think it is:
50/100
Perfect squares are n² where n is a whole number
whole numbers are like 0,1,2,3,4,5,6, etc
no decimal or fractions
we can do that be looking at the perfect squares we know
2²=4
3²=9
4²=16
5²=25
6²=36
7²=49
8²=64
etc
so we see 47 is between 6² and 7²
therefor, for n²=47, n is between 6 and 7 and is therfore not a whole number
that makes 47 not a perfect square
