Question #2
Erica will have to work for 14 hours in order to buy her sneakers.
How to solve:
You subtract $31 from $150 which equals to $119
You multiply 8.50 (which is the amount of money she gets paid every hour) by the answers they gave you.
8.50 multiplied by 14 is 199
Erica had to work 14 hours to make $199
Your answer is D) 14
Answer:
One days trip of to school from home and back home from school is 2/3 of a mile. We want to know how far it is to school from her house.
To solve this, we simply need to take half of the total distance (2/3)
\frac{2}{3} / 2
Next, we need to turn the 2 into a fraction. Every whole number can be made into a fraction by putting it over 1.
\frac{2}{3} / \frac{2}{1}
Because we are dividing, we need to invert the second fraction and then multiply.
\frac{2}{3} * \frac {1}{2}
Next, we multiply the top of the first fraction by the top of the second and the bottom of the first fraction by the bottom of the second.
\frac{2}{6}
Once you reduce, you get:
\frac{1}{3}
Note: I just noticed that you only have one negative sign. If you mean to put -9, change the sign to positive. If not, leave the answer.
Note the equal sign. what you do to one side, you do to the other. Isolate the x. First, multiply 3 to both sides
-x/3(3) = 9(3)
-x = 9(3)
-x = 27
Next, to isolate the x, divide -1 from both sides
-x/-1 = 27/-1
x = 27/-1
x = -27
-27 is your answer for x.
hope this helps
The value that would make the ratios equal to 4 to 10... I believe it would be 2 to 5
