Answer:
a. 1/2
b. 1 hair cut
c. 2.5
Step-by-step explanation:
4/8 divde by 4 to simplify and that gets you 1/2
8/4 is 2 so he does one hair cut every two hours
so you know how many he can do in 2 hours so add it up. It’s going to be 2 people in four hours so it will be half a hair cut in 5 hours
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
20 increased to 22
20/22= 10%
10% of 20.00 is $2.00
2+20 = 22
Let x = the total number of pennies her piggy bank can hold.
Then 2/3x = the number of pennies she started with
Then 2/3x - 80 = the number of pennies she has left after taking out 80 pennies.
Then 1/2x = the number of pennies she has left after taking out 80 pennies.
Build the equation.
2/3x - 80 = 1/2x
Subtract 1/2x from each side of the equation.
(2/3x - 80) - 1/2x = 1/2x - 1/2x
1/6x - 80 = 0
Add 80 to both sides of the equation.
(1/6x - 80) + 80 = 0 + 80
1/6x = 80
Divide both sides by 1/6.
(1/6x) / 1/6 = 80 / 1/6
x = 480
So, Linda's piggy bank can hold 480 pennies!
If you used $8, then you must add 8 to 32 which equals $40
