Answer:

8 Hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Well, it normally takes her 8 hours but you subtract 2 hours now. So she works for 6 hours and the other clerk 10.

6+10=16

Then you divide 16 by two because you are dividing the amount of work they must complete.

16/2=8

I believe it will take them a total of 8 hours.

3. You owe $1,350.00 on a credit card with a 14.25% APR. You pay $300.00 at the beginning of
irina [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

As an aside, I don't know why Americans don't use a debit card. Usually to figure out what the monthly interest is, you divide the yearly interest by 12

14.25 / 12 = 1.875  and you keep all the decimals.

1350 * 1.875 / 100 = 16.03 is what you save, but there is more. It seems very tiny, but don't be fooled. The credit card company certainly isn't. They will likely round up to 16.04 just so hackers won't make anything if they break into someone's account.

16.04 doesn't seem like much to pay, but realize that if you had to pay it every month, it would be 192.48 a year. That on 1350 is usury.

Find two mixed numbers so that the sum is 15 3/10 and the difference is 8 5/10
Juliette [100K]
11 9/10 and 3 2/5

\left \{ {{ 11\frac{9}{10}+3\frac{2}{5}=15\frac{3}{10}} \atop { 11\frac{9}{10}-3\frac{2}{5}=8\frac{5}{10}}} \right.

To solve for this, you can create a series of two equations
\left \{ {{y+x=15 \frac{3}{10} } \atop {y-x= 8\frac{5}{10} }} \right.

After that, you solve one of the equations for x and plug it into the other equation.
\left \{ {{x=15 \frac{3}{10}-y } \atop {y-x= 8\frac{5}{10} }} \right.

{2y-15 \frac{3}{10}= 8\frac{5}{10}

Then, solve for variable y
{2y=23 \frac{8}{10}
{y=11\frac{9}{10}

Then, you plug in this value for y into one of the original equations

11\frac{9}{10}+x=15 \frac{3}{10}

x=15 \frac{3}{10} -11\frac{9}{10}

x=3 \frac{2}{5}

PLEASE HELP ME!!!!! GIVING (17 POINTS)
bija089 [108]

Answer:

61.)   A, B, A

62.) 120 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

61.) 48 is a multiple of 6. A multiple is a number which can be fully divided into another number (divded without remainder). Therefore, 48 is a multiple of 6 because 6 * 8 = 48 meaning that 48/6 would equal 8. Because there is no remainder, Carly can put the beads into 6 equal groups.

62.) This is a simple conversion problem. Since they are asking the amount of minutes, you need to convert 2 hours to minutes. You do not need to calculate it or set up a formula because there are 60 minutes in one hour, therore, in 2 hours there are 120 minutes (60 minutes + 60 minutes).
