Answer:

11 hours she worked at the grocery store

Step-by-step explanation:

assuming,

the number of hours worked at tutoring = x

the number of hours worked at grocery store = y

which means,

the amount she made at tutoring = x* $15

the amount she made at grocery store = y*$9

we have 2 equations

<em>total number of hours</em>

1) x+y= 15  

<em>total amount she earned</em>

2) x* $15+ y* $9= $159

From equation 1

x+y= 15  

x=15-y

<em>we replace this x value in equation 2</em>

x* $15+ y* $9= $159

(15-y)* $15+ y* $9= $159

(15*15)- 15y+9y=159

225-6y=159

225-159=6y

66=6y

66/6=y

<u>11=y</u>  <em>the number of hours she worked at grocery store. </em>

<em>we place y=11 in our derived x equation</em>

x=15-y

x=15-11

<u><em>x=4 </em></u><em>the number of hours she worked at tutoring. </em>

If you have 9/10 of a pound of granola how many 1/5 pound bags can you fill ?
Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

1/5 is the same as 2/10. How many 2's can you put in 9? You can put 4.5 2's in a 9. However, filling half a bag does not fill the entire bag, so the answer would be 4. You can fill 4 full 1/5 pound bags with 9/10 pounds of granola.
