Answer:

It takes 1 seconds for push-ups and 3 seconds for sit-ups for Mei to do exercise.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Let the time taken for push-ups be 'x'.

Let the time taken for sit-ups be 'y'.

Now Given:

17 push-ups and 6 sit-ups, it takes a total of 35 seconds.

So we can say that;

17x+6y=35 \ \ \ \ equation \ 1

Also Given:

41 seconds to do 20 push-ups and 7 sit-ups.

so we can say that;

20x+7y=41 \ \ \ \ equation \ 2

Now Multiplying equation 1 by 7 we get;

7(17x+6y)=35\times7\\\\119x+42y= 245 \ \ \ \ equation \ 3

Now Multiplying equation 2 by 6 we get;

6(20x+7y)=41\times6\\\\120x+42y = 246 \ \ \ \ equation\ 4

Now Subtracting equation 3 from equation 4 we get;

120x+42y-(119x+42y)=246-245\\\\120x+42y-119x-42y=1\\\\x=1\ sec

Now substituting the value of x in equation 1 we get;

17x+6y=35\\\\17\times1+6y=35\\\\17+6y=35\\\\6y=35-17\\\\6y= 18\\\\y=\frac{18}6 = 3\ seconds

Hence It takes 1 seconds for push-ups and 3 seconds for sit-ups for Mei to do exercise.

How many times is 5 x 10^6 larger than 5 x 10^4
gayaneshka [121]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

By <em>100 times</em>.

Step-by-step explanation:

Each time something is in Scientific Notation, to every power of 10 something is multiplied by, it grows by 10 times.

By knowing that, if both equations use the same starting number, you can minus the notation section from the larger value, to find the answer.

10^6 - 10^4 = 10^2 ---> 100 times.

Hope that helps, :)
