3pie plus one is irrational
1) Write this as a ratio...
77.5 miles / 3.1 gallons = x miles / 8.2 gallons
Solve for x... multiply by 8.2 gallons on both sides (that cancels it on the right) side of the equation.
8.2 gallons * 77.5 miles / 3.1 gallons = x
635.5/ 3.1 = x
211.83 miles = x
Justin travels 211.83 miles on 8.2 gallons of gas
2) If we let boys = b, then girls has to be b + 15 (since there are 15 more girls than boys). Now together there are 85 members of the band so... boys + girls = 85 and since girls is b + 15, then...
b + b+15 = 85
Now solve for b. First combine like terms...
2b + 15 = 85
Now subtract 15 from each side (cancels the 15 on the left)
2b + 15 - 15 = 85 - 15
2b = 70
Now divide each side by 2 (cancels 2 on the left)
2b / 2 = 70 / 2
b = 35
So there are 35 boys in the band.
Just FYI, that also means there are 35+15 = 50 girls. Just so happens that 50 + 35 = 85 so our work checks!
The price of the pear is $0.6
Given:
The total cost of lunch is $3.50, consisting of a juice, a sandwich, and a pear.The juice cost 1.5 times as much as the pear.The sandwich costs $1.40 more than the pear.
From above statements
Juice + sandwich + pear = $3.50 -----------eq(1)
Juice = 1.5 * pear
sandwich = pear + $1.40
substitute juice and sandwich values in eq(1)
1.5 pear + pear + $1.40 + pear = $3.50
3.5 pear = $3.50 - $1.40
pear = $2.10/3.5
pear = $0.60
Hence the price of the pear is $0.6
