Maria ran 17 miles at an average speed of 5 miles per hour.

1 answer:

8 0

I think this is what it's asking for...

a) 17 is the total amount ran
5 is the number of miles
x is the hours (which is unknown)
you have to find x. the problem says that there are 5 miles per hour so your x would go with your 5. the 17 stays on the opposite side of the =
17=5x

b) to find the amount of time (x) just solve for x
17=5x is your equation
you now have to isolate the x (do this by dividing 5 on both sides of the equation)
5/x= x alone
17/5=3.4
3.4=x
* remember that x is hours in this problem, so round if you need too

Out of a salary of $4500. I kept 1/3 as saving. Out of the remaining money. I spend 50% on food and 20% on house rent. How much

Step2247 [10]

Well 1/3 for savings means that you save 1/3*4500 or 1500 dollars.
You then have $3000 left. Of this if you spend 50% on food, you spend 0.5*3000 or 1500 dollars on food.

Lisa claims that when multiplying any number between 0 and 10 by 100, the product is greater than 100. What is a possible number

dlinn [17]

The number is 1. 1 multiplied by 100 gives 100 as answer. Lisa claims that when multiplying any number between 0 and 10 by 100, the product is greater than 100. In this case the answer is equal to 100 not greater than 100.

So this proof shows that Lisa's claim is not correct.
