Hello!

Firstly, we can find the values of the two given fractions, 4/5 and 5/6.

4/5 is equivalent to 0.80

5/6 is equivalent to 0.833...

Choice A, 4/5 < 5/6 is correct. 4/5 is less than 5/6.

Choice B, 4/5 = 5/6 is incorrect, they are not equal to each other.

Choice C, 4/5 > 5/6 is also incorrect, 4/5 is NOT greater than 5/6. It's less than 5/6.

John paid $222 for four hours of skiing and two hours boating. He paid $213 for two hours skiing and three hours boating. What i

Inga [223]

Answer:

Skiing costs $30 per hour and Boating costs $51 per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let cost per hour of skiing be x and cost per hour of boating be y. Let's dissect the problem into 2 simultaneous equations.

"John paid $222 for four hours of skiing and two hours boating":

$4x+2y=222$

"He paid $213 for two hours skiing and three hours boating":

$2x+3y=213$

Now, if we solve for x in the 2nd equation and plug it in the 1st equation, we will have the value for y. Work shown below.

$2x+3y=213\\2x=213-3y\\x=\frac{213-3y}{2}\\Equation 1: 4x+2y=222\\Substituting :\\4(\frac{213-3y}{2})+2y=222\\2(213-3y)+2y=222\\426-6y+2y=222\\426-222=6y-2y\\204=4y\\y=\frac{204}{4}=51$

Hence, y = 51

Now, substituting this y value into the 1st equation and solving for x will give us the value of x.

$First Equation: 4x+2y=222\\4x+2(51)=222\\4x+102=222\\4x=222-102\\4x=120\\x=\frac{120}{4}=30$

Hence, skiing costs $30 per hour and boating costs $51 per hour.

Sam Sounds received a $290 discount loan to purchase a stereo. The loan was offered at 16% for 90 days. Find the interest in dol

garri49 [273]

I = Adt; where p = $290 is the Amount of the loan, d = 16% = 0.16 is the discount rate and t = 90days = 90/365 = 18/73 is the period.

I = 290 x 0.16 x 18/73 = 11.44
Interest = $11.44

Proceed = Amount - Interest = 290 - 11.44 = $278.56
