Jerry had a 3 in 10 chance or a 30 percent chance to hit area A randomly
Answer:
B is the correct answer to your question
It is false or 8/9 is equal to 1
The answer for either field being harvested is 6.25 days (acres/(rate of harvest))
The answer is probably seven because, even though a day can be divided into parts, the fields are done the seventh not the sixth. (I'm assuming the problem calls for whole days)
Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer: x = 7/10
Discussion:
To eliminate fractions multiply each side by 10:
10 ( 9/5x - 2/5 ) = 10 * ( 8x +3)/10 or
10 * ( 9/5)x - 10 *(2/5) = 8x + 3 or
9 *2 x - 2*2 = 8x +3 or
18x - 4 = 8x + 3. Subtract 8x for each side:
18x - 8x - 4 = (8x - 8x) + 3 or
10x -4 = 0x + 3 or
10x -4 = 3 or
10x = 7
x = 7/10
Thank you,
MrB
