You have to formulate equations for this problem.
Let S = Science score
M = Math score
C =
Chemistry score
To illustrate the given:
0.9S = 0.75M
0.9S = 0.8C
You are given that Karen’s Math score is 96 marks. You have
to substitute the Math score to the first equation.
0.9S = 0.75(96)
0.9S = 72
S = 80
Therefore, Karen’s Science score is 80. Now, you have to
substitute the Science score to the second equation.
0.9(80) = 0.8C
0.8C = 72
C = 90
So, Karen’s Chemistry score is 90.
Therefore, the total score of the 3 subjects is 266 (96 + 80
+ 90).
Jacqueline is incorrect.
To find how much trash you can clean in 4 days if you already know how much trash you can clean in one day, multiply 1 2/3 (how much you can clean in one day) by 4.
Another way to write 1 and 2/3 miles is 5/3 (converting a mixed number to a single fraction). Then, 5/3 x 4 = 20/3. (To multiply fractions, just multiply across, leaving 5 x 4 in the numerator and 4 x 1 in the denominator.)
Jacqueline said you would be able to clean 19/3 miles but you can actually clean 20/3.
X=-3y+6 That is the answer.
65 % is bigger than 16/25
