Answer:

14 boys paid for the full year fee and 4 boys paid for the partial year fee

Step-by-step explanation:

Create a system of equations, where x is the number that paid for the $24 fee and y is the number that paid for the $16 fee:

24x + 16y = 400

x = y + 10

Solve by substitution by plugging in y + 10 as x:

24x + 16y = 400

24(y + 10) + 16y = 400

Solve for y:

24y + 240 + 16y = 400

40y + 240 = 400

40y = 160

y = 4

Then, plug in 4 as y to find x:

x = y + 10

x = 4 + 10

x = 14

So, 14 boys paid for the full year fee and 4 boys paid for the partial year fee.

3. A fence is made up of eight 8 5/7-foot sections. How long is the fence? Write your answer as a mixed number in lowest terms.
rewona [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

3)A fence is made up of eight 8 5/7-foot sections. This means the total number of feet's is 8 × 8 5/7. Expressing 8 5/7 as improper fraction, it will be 61/7 feet's

The total length of the fence =

8 × 61/7 = 488/7 feet's

Expressing as mixed fraction, it becomes

69 5/7 feets

4) Cynthia spent 3/4 of her time at the gym on the stair machine. She spent a total of 21 3/4 minutes on the stair machine. This means that the time she spent on the gym is 3/4 × 21 3/4 .

Converting 21 3/4 to improper fraction, it becomes 87/4

The time she spent on the gym

= 3/4 × 87/4 = 261/16

= 16 5/16 minutes

5) On Monday, Ryan jogged 1 ½ miles in ¼ hour. On Wednesday he jogged 2 1/3 miles in 1/3 hour. Converting to improper fractions,

the miles ran on Monday= 1 ½ miles = 3/2 miles

the miles jogged on wednesday = 2 1/3 miles = 7/3 miles

How much farther did Ryan jog on Wednesday than on Monday? This would be 7/3 - 3/2

= 5/6 miles

6) One requires 2/3 cup of flour, another requires 7/8 cup of flour, and the third require 3/4 cup of flour.

Total amount of flour that Josh will use is

2/3 +7/8 +3/4 = (16+21+18)/24

= 55/25 = 2 7/25 cups of flour
