If you would like to know how many minutes will it take you to mow a lawn that measures 6000 square feet, you can calculate this using the following steps:
800 square feet ... 15 minutes
6000 square feet ... M minutes = ?
800 * M = 15 * 6000
M = 15 * 6000 / 800
M = 112.5 minutes
This will take 112.5 minutes.
Answer:
117.5 or 235/2
Step-by-step explanation:
We can set up an equation for this problem:
Lets Joe's weight be x
then:
2x -5 = 230
therefore:
2x = 235
x = 117.5 or 235/2
Answer:
39.7%
Step-by-step explanation:
(actual value - estimated value) / actual value
5.8 - 3.5 = 2.3
2.3 / 5.8 = 0.3965 = 39.65%
Answer:
The larger of the two is 44.67
Step-by-step explanation:
let the first number=x
let the second number=y
We can derive a system of equations using the mathematical statements
Their sum is 33:
x+y=33( call this equation 1)
Sum of first number and four times the second is -2:
x+4y=-2(call this equation 2)
Since the integer coefficients of x in both equations are the same we can quickly subtract one from the other to eliminate it
For this explanation, I choose to subtract equation 1 from 2
(x+4y=-2)-(x+y=33)=3y=-35
y=-35/3
Now plug in the value of y into any equation for that of x. Say we plug into equation 1
x+(-35/3)=33
x-35/3=33( multiply through by 3)
3x-35=99
3x=99+35
3x=134
x=134/3
Therefore,x=134/3 or 44.67 and y=-35/3 or -11.67
You can tell how many zeros an equation has by if the equation is squared, cubed... In this equation, x^2 would have 2 zeros.
