Question #25:
One way to solve this is by multiplying the number of packages per serving by the number of guests.
1/4 * 16 = 4 packages to serve 16 guests. This means he doesn't have enough.
A second way to solve this is by diving the number of packages by the number of packages it takes to make on serving.
3 1/2 ÷ 1/4 = 14 guests he can serve. This means he doesn't have enough.
Question #26:
First, find common denominators.
2/3 = 8/12
1/4 = 3/12
Second, subtract.
8/12 - 3/12 = 5/12
Therefore, the tank is 5/12 full at the end of the trip.
Question #27:
1/2 is cut off then 1/3 is cut off. This means 3/6 was cut off to bundle newspapers, then 1/6 was cut off to make parcel. In all, 4/6 was cut off the original string. Afterwards, 2/6 was left over. So, just multiply; 2 * 3 = 6.
Therefore, the original string was as a total of 6 meters.
Best of Luck!
Answer c because .10 x 40 equals 4 plus 2
The annual interest that can be earned through investment of an amount at a simple interest can be calculated through the equation,
I = P x (i)
where I is interest, P is the principal amount, and i is the decimal equivalent of the interest.
Let x be the amount deposited with 3.5% interest. With this representation, the amount deposited with 5.5% is 5800 - x.
The linear equation that would represent the given scenario is,
x(0.035) + (5800 - x)(0.055) = 283
Simplifying the equation,
0.035x + 319 - 0.055x = 283
Combining like terms,
-0.02x = -36
Dividing by -0.02,
x = 1800
$5800 - x = $5800 - $1800 = y
y = $4000
Hence, the value that should be deposited to the 5.5% is $40000.
