Answer:
C) 20 Speeders
Step-by-step explanation:
5 divided by 2 is 2.5
there are 2.5 speeders per hour
over the span of 8 hours just multiply
8x2.5=20
Answer:
61
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's write out what we know:
Noon temp: 54
Over the day, the temperature:
increased 8, decreased 3, increased 14, decreased 2, and decreased 10.
54+8-3+14-2-10 = 61
Lisa picks 75
Lisa = L
Sharon = S
L = 5S
L = 75
75 = 5S
75/5 = 5S/5
S = 15

2x - 3 = 15
2x = 15 + 3 = 18
x = 18/2 = 9
Therefore, the equired value of x is 9.
We assume all employees are either full-time or part-time.
36 = 24 + 12
If the number of full-time employees is 24 or less, the number of part-time employees must be 12 or more. (Thinking, based on knowledge of sums.)
_____
You can write the inequality in two stages.
- First, write and solve an equation for the number of full-time employees in terms of the number of part-time employees.
- Then apply the given constraint on full-time employees. This gives an inequality you can solve for the number of part-time employees.
Let f and p represent the numbers of full-time and part-time employees, respectively.
... f + p = 36 . . . . . . given
... f = 36 - p . . . . . . . subtract p. This is our expression for f in terms of p.
... f ≤ 24 . . . . . . . . . given
... (36 -p) ≤ 24 . . . . substitute for f. Here's your inequality in p.
... 36 - 24 ≤ p . . . . add p-24
... p ≥ 12 . . . . . . . . the solution to the inequality
