<h3>Given</h3>
  • 40% of work week is 16 hours
<h3>Find</h3>
  • hours in work week
<h3>Solution</h3>

Write the given information as an equation.

... 0.40 × (work week) = 16 hours

Divide by the factor you don't want (0.40).

... (work week) = (16/0.40) hours

... work week = 40 hours

_____

40% means 40/100 (forty hundredths) or 0.40 (forty hundredths). (The % symbol is a shorthand way to write /100.)

Shania had $20 to spend on seven raffle tickets. After buying them she had $6. How much did each raffle ticket cost?
kogti [31]

Answer:

$2

Step-by-step explanation:

Total money Shania was having = $20.

After buying raffle tickets she was having a total of $6.

Thus ,

The money she spent on the raffle tickets = Money she was having initially -

                                                                         Money she was having after

                                                                         purchasing tickets .

                                                                 = $20 - $6

                                                                 = $14.

Thus She spent a total of $14 on tickets .

Now , number of tickets she bought = 7.

So, cost of each ticket = \frac{Money spent}{Number of tickets} = \frac{14}{7}

                                                          = $2.

Thus , each ticket costs $2 for Shania.

Ms. Federman graded 5 papers in 40 minutes. At this rate, how many minutes will it take her to grade 30 papers?
Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

240 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

If it's 40 minutes for just 5 papers, we need to figure how many minutes it would take to grade just 1. So you have to divide 40 by 5 which is 8. Then 8 time 30 which is 240.
