After raining for 34 of an hour, a rain gauge is 25 filled. If it continues to rain at that rate for 15 more minutes, what fract

ion of the rain gauge will be filled?
To help answer this question, Diego wrote the division equation 34÷25=?. Explain why this equation does not represent the situation.

Answer:

\textbf{Fraction of gauge filled = }\bf\frac{8}{15}

Step-by-step explanation:

This equation does not represent the situation because to find the fraction of the rain gauge we need to : divide the fraction of gauge filled by the raining fraction of an hour

But, Diego wrote the incorrect division equation so, it does not represent the current situation.

Now, to find the required division and multiplication equations :

\frac{3}{4}\text{ fraction of an hour = }\frac{3}{4}\times 60=\text{ 45 minutes}\\\\\text{ Now, the rain continues to rain for 15 minutes more}\\\implies \text{The total raining time = 45 + 15 = 60 minutes}\\\\\text{So, we need to find the fraction of gauge filled in 60 minutes}\\\\\text{Fraction of gauge filled in 45 minute = }\frac{2}{5}\\\\\text{Fraction of gauge filled in 1 minute = }\frac{\frac{2}{5}}{45}=\frac{2}{5\times 45}\\\\\text{Fraction of gauge filled in 60 minutes = }\frac{2}{5\times 45}\times 60=\bf\frac{8}{15}

\text{Division equation = }\frac{\text{fraction of gauge filled}}{\text{raining fraction of an hour}}\\\\\textbf{Division Equation : }\frac{\frac{2}{5}}{\frac{3}{4}}=\frac{2}{5}\times \frac{4}{3}=\frac{8}{15}\\\\\text{Multiplication Equation = Fraction of gauge filled in 1 minute × 60}\\\\\textbf{Multiplicatiuon Equation : }\frac{2}{225}\times 60=\frac{8}{15}

Ralph is 3 times as old as Sara. In 6 years , Ralph will be only twice as old as Sara will be then. Find Ralph’s age now .
Delvig [45]

Answer:

Ralph's current age is 18.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let r and s represent the current ages of Ralph and Sara respectively.  Our task here is to determine r, Ralph's age now.

If Ralph is 3 times as old as Sara now, then r = 3s.

Six years from now, Ralph's age will be r + 6 and Sara's will be s + 6.  Ralph will be only twice as old as Sara will be then.  This can be represented algebraically as

r + 6 = 2(s + 6).

We now have the following system of linear equations to solve:

r + 6 = 2s + 12, or r - 2s = 6, and r = 3s (found earlier, see above).

r - 2s = 6

r = 3s

Substituting 3s for r in r - 2s = 6, we get 3s = 2s + 6, or s = 6.  Sara is 6 years old now, meaning that Ralph is 3(6 years), or 18 years old.

Ralph's current age is 18.

Zen spent $255 on a bag and a belt. She wanted to buy another
Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

A)$ 45

B) $105

Step-by-step explanation:

Bag and a belt cost $255

Let bag = x

Let belt = y

X+y= 255 equation 1

Let total money be z first

Remaining money= z-255

X-30 = z-255

Y +15 = z-255

Equating the left side of the equation

X+30 = y+15

X-y= 45 equation 2

Solving simultaneously

X+y= 255

X-y= 45

2x = 300

X= 150

If x= 150

150-y= 45

150-45= y

105=y

Bag = $150

Belt = $105

Bag Is 150-105 more than the belt

150-105= $45
