Answer:
5/6
Step-by-step explanation:
If q is the quantity of cereal in the box before Heba ate some, the problem tells us ...
q - 1/12 = 3/4
q = 3/4 + 1/12 = 9/12 + 1/12 = 10/12
q = 5/6
There was 5/6 of a box before Heba ate.
Answer:
4/5 - 3/10 is 0.5.
Step-by-step explanation:
You want to divide top and bottom (Whatever you do to one side do to the other) So start off dividing 5 by 10 which wil give you 0.5, next you want to divide 4 by 3 which gives a repeating decimal so youll use the whole decimal (0.5) as an answer
Answer:
Gray family's sprinkler was used for 40 hours.
Thompson family's sprinkler was used for 35 hours.
Step-by-step explanation:
The Gray family and the Thompson family each used their sprinklers last summer.
Let x= amount of time in hours that the Gray family's sprinkler was used.
Let y = amount of time in hours that the Thompson family's sprinkler was used.
The water output rate for the Gray family's sprinkler was 40 L per hour. The water output rate for the Thompson family's sprinkler was 20 L per hour. This means that the combined number of hours that both family's used their sprinklers is 40x + 20y
The families used their sprinklers for a combined total of 75 hours, resulting in a total water output of 2300 L .
This means
x + y = 75
40x + 20y = 2300 - - - - - - - -1
Substituting x = 75 -y into equation 1,
40 ( 75 - y ) + 20y = 2300
3000 - 40y + 20y = 2300
-40y + 20y = 2300 - 3000
-20y = -700
y = 700/20 = 35 hours
x = 75 - y
x = 75 -35 = 40 hours
The answer is going to be D
