Answer: the number of yards rushed by one player is 310 while the number of yards rushed by the second player 1240

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of yards rushed by one player.

Let y represent the number of yards rushed by the second(faster) player.

Last season 2 running backs on the Steelers football team rushed for a combined total of 1550 yards. This means that

x + y = 1550 - - - - - -- - -- - - - - - 1

One rushed 4 times as many as the other. This means that

y = 4x

Substituting y = 4x into equation 1, it becomes

x + 4x = 1550

5x = 1550

x = 1550/5

x = 310

y = 4x = 4 × 310

y = 1240

You want to place stone pavers around the edge of your concrete patio. The patio is 12 ft wide by 14 ft long and each stone pave
Harlamova29_29 [7]

The number of stone pavers needed to go round the patio is 3.

<h3>What is the number of stone pavers needed to go round the patio?</h3>

The first step is to determine the perimeter of the concrete patio.

Perimeter : 12 + 12 + 14 = 38 feet

Number of stone pavers needed to go round the patio : perimeter of the patio / length of each stone paver

38 / 14 = 3

Raymond has two seven foot long boards, and wants to cut fifteen inch long peices from each; what is the greatest number of peic
anastassius [24]

7ft = 84in   84  ÷  15 =  5.6 pieces he can cut from each board.  Since .6 is not a whole piece measuring 15 inches long, he can only cut 5 pieces from each board.

So, 5 x 2 = 10

He would be able to cut 10 pieces measuring 15 inches long.

Hope this helps :)
