Answer:
I came up with -12
Step-by-step explanation:
8 workers = 6 days to complete
x workers = 4 days faster to complete
6/4=1.5 days faster
1.5 x 8 = 12 workers needed to complete the wall in fours days
-2/15=13/15
Step-by-step explanation:
2/3-4/5=13/15
2/15=13/15

Answer:
Multiplication Symbols:
<u>1.</u><u> Times</u> ×
<u>2.</u><u> Dot</u> ⋅
<u>3.</u><u> Parentheses</u> ()
<u>4.</u><u> Variables next to each other</u> <em>ab</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
The symbols can be used like this...
Times: <em>a</em> × <em>b</em> = <em>c</em>
Dot: <em>a</em> ⋅ <em>b</em> = <em>c</em>
Parentheses:<em> </em>(<em>a</em>)(<em>b</em>) = <em>c</em>
Variables next to each other: <em>ab </em>= <em>c</em>
Let c represents the cost of a candy apple and b represents the cost of a bag of peanuts.
Darius can purchase 3 candy apples and 4 bags of peanuts. So his total cost would be 3c + 4b. Darius can buy 3 candy apples and 4 bags of peanuts in $11.33,so we can write the equation as:
3c + 4b = 11.33 (1)
Darius can purchase 9 candy apples and 5 bags of peanuts. So his total cost would be 9c + 5b. Darius can buy 9 candy apples and 5 bags of peanuts in $23.56,so we can write the equation as:
9c + 5b = 23.56 (2)
<span>Darius decides to purchase 2 candy apples and 3 bags of peanuts. The total cost in this case will be 2c + 3b. To find this first we need to find the cost of each candy apple and bag of peanuts by solving the above two equations.
Multiplying equation 1 by three and subtracting equation 2 from it, we get:
3(3c + 4b) - (9c + 5b) = 3(11.33) - 23.56
9c + 12b - 9c - 5b = 10.43
7b = 10.43
b = $1.49
Using the value of b in equation 1, we get:
3c + 4(1.49) = 11.33
3c = 5.37
c = $ 1.79
Thus, cost of one candy apple is $1.79 and cost of one bag of peanuts is $1.49.
So, 2c + 3b = 2(1.79) + 3(1.49) = $ 8.05
Therefore, Darius can buy 2 candy apples and 3 bags of peanuts in $8.05</span>
