Answer:

a) 150-90 = h(15.25 -9.75)

b) 10.91

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Jennifer has 150 -90 = 60 less in savings than Eduardo, but she is earning 15.25 -9.75 = 5.50 more per hour. An equation she can use to figure her hours is ...

60 = 5.50h . . . . for h hours worked.

In 'raw' form, that might be ...

150 -90 = (15.25 -9.75)h

__

b) Solving the above equation, we get ...

60/5.50 = h ≈ 10.90909 ≈ 10.91 . . . hours

This can either be done by multiplying with 125% (1.25) or, by dividing by dividing on 4 and adding a part.

This is the easiest way, tho.

60*1.25=75

The correct answer is 75 mph.

Lola and Brandon had a running race. They ran 3/10 of a mile. Lola was in the lead for 4/5 of the distance. For what fraction of

Kruka [31]

Answer:

Lola was in lead for $\frac{6}{25}$ of a mile.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that Lola and Brandon had a running race. They ran 3/10 of a mile. Lola was in the lead for 4/5 of the distance.

To find the fraction of a mile for which Lola was in the lead, we need to find 4/5 of 3/10 as:

$\text{Fraction for which Lola was in lead}=\frac{3}{10}\times\frac{4}{5}$

$\text{Fraction for which Lola was in lead}=\frac{3}{5}\times\frac{2}{5}$

$\text{Fraction for which Lola was in lead}=\frac{3\times2}{5\times5}$

$\text{Fraction for which Lola was in lead}=\frac{6}{25}$

Therefore, Lola was in lead for $\frac{6}{25}$ of a mile.

algol [13]

Answer:

W = 500 + 25x

Step-by-step explanation:

Jeremy’s pay started at $500 per week. Every year his pay will increase by $25 per week.

Now, after x years his pay per week will increase by $(25x).

Therefore, if we model the weekly payment of Jeremy by an equation, then it will be given by

W = 500 + 25x

where W is his weekly payment after x years. (Answer)
