(2/3) / (1/9) = x / 1....2/3 day to 1/9 order = x days to 1 order
cross multiply
(1/9)(x) = (2/3)(1)
1/9x = 2/3
x = 2/3 * 9
x = 18/3
x = 6 days <==

George has $15. He tries to buy a movie ticket ($9.00), a pretzel ($2.65), a drink ($1.35), and two veggie cups ($1.74 each) but

Ket [755]

Answer:

George doesn't have enough money because the total cost of what he wants to buy costs $16.48 and he has $15. This means he needs an extra $1.48 to be able to buy what he needs

Step-by-step explanation:

From the above question:

George has $15. He tries to buy a movie ticket ($9.00), a pretzel ($2.65), a drink ($1.35), and two veggie cups ($1.74 each) but he does not have enough money.

Look at the numerical expression George used: 15 −( 9 + 2.65 + 1.35 + 2(1.74) )

Use the order of operations to simplify this expression.

Using the order of operations we have:

=$ 15 - (9 + 2.65 + 1.35 + 2(1.74) )

= $15 -( 9 + 2.65 + 1.35 + 3.48 )

=$ 15 - (16.48)

= $-1.48

George doesn't have enough money because the total cost of what he wants to buy costs $16.48 and he has $15. This means he needs an extra $1.48 to be able to buy what he needs

On a 50-question test, a student answered 5 questions incorrectly. What percent did the student answer correctly? A. 45% B. 90%

nadya68 [22]

Hey there,

Pretend that 50 = 100

And that 5 = 10.

I did a 100 test unit test, and I got 10% wrong.

If you think about this, the answer would be 90%

So, it's the same in this case,

50 in half of 100

5 is half of 10.

So . . .

This would mean that your correct answer would be 90% because 5 in this case is to be considered to be 10.

Your correct answer is . . . .

$\boxed{\boxed{90 \ would \ be \ your \ correct \ answer }}$

Hope this helps
