Answer:
Apple = $0.6
Banana = $0.75
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us represent Apple by A and Banana by B
For Joe,
5A + 4B = 6 (1)
For Dawn
3A + 6B = 6.3 (2)
To eliminate A, Multiply equation (1) by 3 and equation (2) by 5
15A + 12B = 18 (3)
15A + 30B = 31.5 (4)
subtracting equation (4) from (3)
15A - 15A +12B - 30B = 18 - 31.5
-18B = -13.5
divide through by -18
-18B/-18 = -13.5/-18
B = 0.75
substitute 0.75 in equation (1)
5A + 4B = 6
5A + 4(0.75) = 6
5A + 3 = 6
subtract 3 from both sides
5A + 3 - 3 = 6 - 3
5A = 3
divide through by 5
5A/5 = 3/5
A = 0.6
Approximatley 4.39. If thought of like .33X=1.45, then you just divide 1.45 by .33
Answer:
15 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
Betty mows at 3 times the speed that Bullwinkle does, so is equivalent to having 3 Bullwinkles in her place. That makes the lawn get mowed as though 4 Bullwinkles were working, so it will take 1/4 the time it takes Bullwinkle to mow the whole yard. 1/4 of 60 minutes is 15 minutes.
Working together, Betty and Bullwinkle will take 15 minutes to mow the lawn.
