OK. Lots of copying errors here. I'll be using 275 page book, reading 10 pages per 15 minutes, skimming 15 pages per 10 minutes, 5 hours and 50 minutes to complete the book.
To make things easier, first convert the time to just minutes. So
5 * 60 + 50 = 300 + 50 = 350 minutes.
Now let's use the variable X for the number of minutes spent skimming and (350-X) for the number of minutes spent reading.
X * 15/10 + (350 - X)*10/15 = 275
Solve for X.
X * 15/10 + (350 - X)*10/15 = 275
X * 15/10 + 350*10/15 - X*10/15 = 275
X * 15/10 - X*10/15 = 275 - 350*10/15
X(15/10 - 10/15) = 275 - 3500/15
X(45/30 - 20/30) = 825/3 - 700/3
X(25/30) = 125/3
X = 125/3 * 30/25 = 125/1 * 10/25 = 5/1 * 10/1 = 50/1 = 50
So Jayden spent 50 minutes skimming. And at the rate of 15 pages every 10 minutes, he skimmed 50*15/10 = 750/10 = 75 pages.</span>
In step 1, the commutative property of addition is used since x + 5 is just equal to 5 + x
In step 2, the associative property of addition is used since x is grouped to the last term.
In step 3, the distributive property of multiplication is used since 3 is multiplied to the terms inside the parenthesis.
In step 4, multiplication is done.
4.567 inches should be the answer
You have to figure out how many 32 ounces are in 96. the answer to that is 3. you then multiply 2 pints times 3 to get 6.
