5-3=2
so you multiply 2 times 27.
2 times 27 is 54
Answer:
six and eight hundred fourty-seven thousandths
Step-by-step explanation:
6 + 0.8 + 0.04 + 0.007 is called extended form, six and eight hundred fourty-seven thousandths is called word form.
You can solve this one by adding their rates, but you have to invert the numbers they give you to find the rate. Rate is measured in something per unit of time, and "per" indicates division. So the rates are: 1/3 of an hour (Sally) and 1/6 of an hour (Steve). So add the rates: 1/3 + 1/6 = 1/2. (1/3 is 2/6, and 2/6 + 1/6 = 3/6). Since their combined rate is 1/2 of a room in one hour, it takes them two hours to paint the room.
This answer makes sense: It takes Sally three hours by herself; with Steve's help, she's faster, but not THAT much faster, because he's pretty slow. You can often spot-check word problem answers like this by giving it a common sense once-over. If we came up with four hours, that would clearly be wrong: it should take her LONGER if she's getting help.
Answer:
937.5 packs of apples
Step-by-step explanation:
Note that:
100p = £1
80p = x
Cross Multiply
100x = 80p × £1
x = 80/100
x = £0.8
Jay sells 10 packs of apples for 80p.
Hence:
£0.8 = 10 packs of apples
£75 = x
Cross Multiply
£0.8 × x = £75 × 10 Packs
x = £75 × 10 Packs/£0.8
x = 937.5
Therefore, to make £75 at the end of the year, he has to sell 937.5 packs of apples
