Answer:

A.  1.5a - 5, where 'a' is the number of apples used by Martin

B.  Martin could not have used 10 apples, because that would mean Omar used none.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 'a' represent the number of apples that Martin used.  Since Omar used '5 fewer than half as many as Martin':

0.5a - 5  = the number of apples used by Omar

A.  The total of all the apples:

a + 0.5a - 5  = 1.5a - 5

B.  If Martin used 10 apples:  

a = 10

0.5(10) - 5 = 0, which means Omar would have used no apples to make applesauce

Answer:

A)An expression to show the number of apples that Martin & Omar used in all is \frac{3}{2}x-5

B)Martin could not have 10 apples

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the no. of apples used by Martin

We are given that Omar used 5 fewer than half as many apple as Martin used.

No. of apples used by Omar = \frac{1}{2}x-5

Total apples used by both =x+\frac{1}{2}x-5=\frac{3}{2}x-5

A ) So, an expression to show the number of apples that Martin & Omar used in all is \frac{3}{2}x-5

B)  Could Martin have used 10 apples

It Martin used 10 apples

So, x = 10

So, No. of apples used by Omar =\frac{1}{2}(10)-5=0

So, No. of apples used by Omar is 0 which is not possible since we are given that Omar used apples to make sauce

So, Martin could not have 10 apples

Answer:

$17.35/h

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to get the amount per hour he made, you first need to calculate the global amount of money he made.

He was paid $2,900 then he had costs of $1,200, that leaves him a net income of $1,700 ($2,900 - $1,200)

Then he worked a total of 98 hours for that money.

A salary is an amount of money expressed by a period of time.  In this case, we'll use hours.

So, Jonah earned $1,700 after 98 hours of work:

S = $1,700 / 98 hours = $17.35/h

Hey!

72/5 ÷ 4/5 

All you have to do is divide 72 by 4 because the denominator is the same.

72 ÷ 4 = 18

Answer ⇒ 18 catalogs
