Answer:

There are 75 pencils and 25 pens.

Step-by-step explanation:

If Tom has three times as many pencils than pens then,

Pencils = 3(Pens)

If there are a total of 100 writing utensils then,

Pencils + Pens = 100

Substitute the word "pencils" in this equation to 3(Pens),

3(Pens) + Pens = 100

Now remember there is almost a 'hidden' one beside the word "Pens" so,

3Pens + 1Pens = 100

Add the two together,

4Pens = 100

Divide,

Pens = 25

Substitute 25 into the first equation,

Pencils = 3(25)

Pencils = 75

Thus, there are 75 pencils and 25 pens.

Sav [38]

Answer:

It will take 1 hour to type the report.

Step-by-step explanation:

The time that will take to John to type the report is:

\frac{1 min}{45 w}*2700 w = 60 min

Since we have 60 minutes in 1 hour, the time in hours is:

\frac{1 h}{60 min}*60min = 1 h

Therefore, it will take 1 hour to type the report.

I hope it helps you!
