How would I answer this: How many minutes are in a 30-day month.... use vertical multiplication to get the right answer

cluponka [151]

Answer:

There are 43200 minutes in a 30-day month.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that:

60 minutes = 1 hour

24 hours = 1 day

Thus to determine the minutes in a 30-day month, let us first determine the number of hours in the month.

x 24

_______

120

_______

720 hours

The 30-day month has a total of 720 hours.

So that the number of minutes that make up 720 hours can be determined by;

720

x 60

_______

000

4320

_______

43200

Therefore, there are 43200 minutes in a 30-day month.

Twelve years ago, Jane was five times as old as Anne. In three years' time, Anne will be half Jane's

Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

Jane: 37 years old

Anne: 17

Step-by-step explanation:

Jane 12 years ago: 5x

Anne 12 years ago: x

In three years into the future:

Jane: 5x+15

Anne: x+15

CURRENT TIME:

Jane: 5x+12

Anne: x+12

Equation (using 3 years into the future ages): 5x+15=2(x+15)

5x+15=2x+30

(subtract 15 from both sides)

5x=2x+15

3x=15

x=5

Therefore, Jane is 37 years old and Anne is 17 years old.

7x-2y=16 11x+6y=32.3<br>how to solve this math problem

Aneli [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

These types of equations are called simultaneous equations and the method we can use to solve these type of equations is either Substitution, Elimination and Graphing.

We use substitution here because it is easier.

Equation 1

$7x-2y=16$

Equation 2

$11x+6y=32.3$

Lets take equation 1

$7x-2y=16\\7x=16+2y\\x=\frac{16+2y}{7}$

This is our equation 3 , now put it inside equation 2.

$11x+6y=32.3\\11(\frac{16+2y}{7} )+6y=32.3\\\frac{176+22y}{7} +6y=32.3\\\frac{176+22y+42y}{7}=32.3\\176+22y+42y=226.1 \\\\42y+22y=226.1-176\\64y=50.1\\y=\frac{50.1}{64} \\y=0.783\\$

We found the value of y , now to find the value of x insert the value of y in equation 3

$x=\frac{16+2y}{7}\\x=\frac{16+2(0.783)}{7} \\x=\frac{16+1.566}{7}\\x=\frac{17.566}{7}\\x=2.509$

Solved ! See the attached image on both the straight line graphs i have attached for better understanding. Where both the lines intersect each other is our value of (x , y) respectively.
