5p = 80b
3(5p) = (80b)3
15p = 240b
Lan need 240g of butter to make fish pie for 15 people.
Increasing it by 10% will be 11.55. To find teen percent all you do is make it a decimal then multiplying it by 10.50
Answer:
40 
Step-by-step explanation:
The figure is a rectangular prism, so the formula would be Volume = length x width x height.
length = 6 
cm
width = 2 cm
height = 2 cm
If you plug everything you have in the problem into the volume equation, you would get : Volume = 6 cm x 2 cm x 2 cm.
Without a calculator, I would first turn the mixed numbers into improper fractions.
- 6 =
- 2 =
Volume = x x
When you multiply everything together you should get 
.
As a mixed number, that would be 40 .
You can solve this one by adding their rates, but you have to invert the numbers they give you to find the rate. Rate is measured in something per unit of time, and "per" indicates division. So the rates are: 1/3 of an hour (Sally) and 1/6 of an hour (Steve). So add the rates: 1/3 + 1/6 = 1/2. (1/3 is 2/6, and 2/6 + 1/6 = 3/6). Since their combined rate is 1/2 of a room in one hour, it takes them two hours to paint the room.
This answer makes sense: It takes Sally three hours by herself; with Steve's help, she's faster, but not THAT much faster, because he's pretty slow. You can often spot-check word problem answers like this by giving it a common sense once-over. If we came up with four hours, that would clearly be wrong: it should take her LONGER if she's getting help.
