Because it is a question asking for ppl playing either soccer OR basketball, we add the two fractions together. Thus, Part A becomes 3/10 + 4/10, which is 7/10 (since the denominators are the same, you only add the numerators).
Answer: D ( 17/20)
Step-by-step explanation:
The two choices are:
The ‘standard’ tariff charges = $0.10 per unit
The ‘day/night tariff’ = $0.12 per unit for each unit consumed between 06:00 and 22:00 but only $0.05 for each unit consumed between 22:00 and 06:00
The day time is between 22:00 and 06:00
Time = 22 - 6 = 16 hours
Let assume that the charges are unit per hour.
For standard tariff = (16 × 0.10) + 0.2
Standard tariff = 1.6 + 0.2 = 1.8
For day/night = (16 × 0.12) + 0.2
= 1.92 + 0.2
= 2.12
The proportion will be
1.8/2.12 = 17/20 ( approximately)
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplifying
2x + 13 = 0
Reorder the terms:
13 + 2x = 0
Solving
13 + 2x = 0
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-13' to each side of the equation.
13 + -13 + 2x = 0 + -13
Combine like terms: 13 + -13 = 0
0 + 2x = 0 + -13
2x = 0 + -13
Combine like terms: 0 + -13 = -13
2x = -13
Divide each side by '2'.
x = -6.5
Simplifying
x = -6.5
The way I like to figure out problems like this is to write it out like,
1/10 = x/6000
(One over ten equals x over 6000)
Then you find out how much you multiplied 10 by to get 6000. To do this you can divide 6000 by 10 getting 600. The rule "what you do to the bottom you have to do to top" in this equation. So since you multiplied the bottom by 600 you have to multiply the top by 600 as well. 600 times 1 is just 600.
So your answer is, 600 is 1/10 of 6000.
Hope this helps and isn't too confusing.
