Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To make the problem easier to solve, we will set it up as the equation of the length of time of each class times the number of classes equals the total amount of minutes. However, since we don't know the number of classes, we'll symbolize our two unknowns with two variables.

75x + 45y = 705

(75x + 45y)/15 = 705/15

5x + 3y = 47

y = (47-5x)/3

It looks like we can't simplify the equation any more, so now it is a matter of trial and error. The minimum number of Saturday classes means the maximum number of weekday classes. We first will test for the maximum by assuming there are no Saturday classes, then will work our way up until x is an integer.

If x = 0

(47-5(0))/3 = 47/3 = 15.6666

If x = 1

(47-5(1))/3 = 42/3 = 14

This works. Therefore, the maximum number of weekday classes is 14, or choice b.

You need to simplify the improper fraction into a mixed number. 

43/4 = 10 3/4 (or 10.75)
You will want to have your answer as a mixed number, but multiplying might be easier if you use the decimal for calculations.

Now you multiply your mixed number or decimal by 3 (3 sections).

10.75 * 3 = 32.25 or 32 1/4

Your answer would be 32 1/4 meters. 

Hope this helps :)

What does -5.4+9.7 equal?
tatiyna
Oh gurly!!!! Just use a calculator but I’ll answer this one for you okay? Now how I’d do it without a calculator is subtract. Subtract if it asks you to add and add if it asks for subtraction.. it may be confusing but I’ll explain. 9.7-5.4=4.3


When you add a negative to a positive it subtracts the positive.

Since volume is the amount of space in an object all you do is multiply all the numbers.
