Answer:

7.875 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming the beakers are the same size, and each beaker takes in x pounds.

Then for seven beakers we have;

x × 7 = 7x pounds

For the eight beaker;

1/9 ×  x= 1/9x pounds

Therefore;

7x + 1/9x = 56 pounds

63x + x = 56 ×9

64 x = 504

     x = 504/64

         = 7.875 pounds

Therefore; one full beaker takes in 7.875 pounds when full

Answer: $31.25

altogether she spends... 12.5×$4.50= $56.25

in total, she makes 5 beds ( 12.5÷2.5=5)

so she makes 5×$17.50= $87.50 from selling the beds.

however, $87.50-$56.25= $31.25

Inga [223]

Answer:

The cars will meet each other after 0.8 hour [48 minutes]

Step-by-step explanation:

* <em>Lets explain how to solve the problem</em>

- The two cars start from opposite ends of a 8 mile rode

# The distance between them is 8 miles

- The two cars driving towards each other

# the time for both same

- One car is driving at a rate of 4 mph

# The rate of the car is 4 miles per hour

- Other car is driving at a rate of 6 mph

# The rate of the car is 6 miles per hour

- We need to know they will meet each other after what time

- They move towards each other and meet each other after t hour

 and the total distance d is the sum of the two car's distances

 d_{1} and d_{2} ,this total distance is 8 miles

∴ d = d_{1} + d_{2}

∵ d = 8

∴ d_{1} + d_{2}

- Distance = rate × time

∵ The rate of one care is 4 mph

∵ The rate of the other car is 6 mph

∵ The time for both cars is t

∴ d_{1}=4t and d_{2}=6t

- Substitute these values in the equation above

∴ 4t + 6t = 8

∴ 10t = 8

- Divide both sides by 8

∴ t = 0.8

∴ The cars will meet each other after 0.8 hour [48 minutes]

Seating reads 1/12 part of a book in a day. If there are 360 pages in a book, how many pages does swati read in a day?
makvit [3.9K]

Given:

Total number of pages in a book = 360 pages

Fraction of pages Swati reads = \frac{1}{12}

To find:

Number of pages Swati reads in a day

Steps:

Since we know the fraction of pages Swati reads each day, we can multiply the fraction with the total pages to find the number of pages read each day.

=360 * \frac{1}{12}

= \frac{360 * 1}{12}

=\frac{360}{12}

=\frac{180}{6}

=\frac{90}{3}

=\frac{30}{1}

= 30

Therefore, Swati reads 30 pages of the 360 pages per day.

HAPPY TO HELP :)
