Schanzer (Gold Fever!) raids the annals of American history once again, emerging with a feisty tall tale inspired by the Davy Crockett almanacs published in the 19th century. Assuring readers that "every single word is true, unless it is false," she spins a rollicking yarn of how Crockett (who could "whip ten times his weight in wildcats and drink the Mississippi River dry") saves the world from a disastrous collision with Halley's Comet. Deep in the woods with his pet bear, Death Hug, Crockett is bent on wooing "purty" Sally Sugartree, unaware that the president has advertised for his help to reign in the comet. Once Crockett finds out he's needed, he's off "like a high-powered hurrycane," climbing to the top of a high mountain and leaping onto the comet. In the end, a triumphant Crockett gets both the girl and his coonskin cap (to cover what's left of his comet-singed hair). Schanzer's lickety-split pace and picaresque prose are equal parts swagger and sass, and her vibrant, color-drenched paintings extend the spirited tone. Careful attention to comic detail and visual echoes of the genre's hallmark exaggeration (Crockett, for instance, has the chiseled-jaw and popping muscles of a Disney hero) frame this zesty slice of Americana admirably. Ages 6-12. (Aug.)

Working her way through school, Kathy works two part-time jobs for a total of 23 hours a week. Job A pays $5.70 per hour, and Jo

trapecia [35]

Answer:

Kathy worked 11 hours at job A and 12 hours at job B, the week she made US$ 146.70.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review all the information given for solving this question:

Rate per hour of Job A = US$ 5.70

Rate per hour of Job B = US$ 7.00

Earnings received by Kathy during the week = US$ 146.70

Total time worked by Kathy during the week = 23 hours

Hours at job A = x

Hours at job B = 23 -x

2. Let's find how many hours Katy worked at each job:

This is the equation that we'll use:

5.70x + 7 (23 - x) = 146.70

5.70x + 161 - 7x = 146.70

- 1.3x = 146.70 - 161 (Subtracting 161 at both sides)

-1.3x = - 14.30

1.3x = 14.3 (Multiplying by - 1 at both sides)

x = 14.3/1.3 = 11 (Dividing by 1.3 at both sides)

Kathy worked 11 hours at job A and 12 hours at job B.

3. Proof of x = 11

5.70 x + 7 (23 - x) = 146.70

5.70 (11) + 7 (23 - 11) = 146.70

62.70 + 7 (12) = 146.70

62.70 + 84 = 146.70

146.70 = 146.70

The value of x = 11 is correct.

Note. I provided the same answer to question 13954115.

19,432÷x=48 Remainder 232 (Plz help its for my hw that's due tmrw)

Neko [114]

Answer:

x = 404.83

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression is :

19,432÷x=48 ...(1)

We need to find the value of x.

$\dfrac{19,432}{x}=48$

Cross multiplying both sides,

$19,432=48x$

Dividing both sides by 48

$\dfrac{19,432}{48}=x\\\\x=404.83$

So, the value of x is 404.83.

Suponhamos que temos x casos confirmados de coronavírus e y casos suspeitos. A - Se triplicar os casos confirmados e cair a meta

aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

[3x + (y/2)]

Step-by-step explanation:

English Translation

Suppose we have x confirmed cases of coronavirus and y suspected cases. A - If the confirmed cases triple and half of the suspects fall, we will have the following expression to represent the total number of cases:

Solution

Number of confirmed cases = x

Number of suspected cases = y

Number of confirmed cases triples and becomes 3x

Half of the suspected cases fall and becomes (y/2)

Total number of cases then becomes

[3x + (y/2)]

In Portugese/Em português

Número de casos confirmados = x

Número de casos suspeitos = y

O número de casos confirmados triplica e se torna 3x

Metade dos casos suspeitos cai e se torna (y / 2)

O número total de casos passa a ser

[3x + (y / 2)]
