Convert 3 (1/2) into a mixed fraction first and then multiply it by 3:
3(1/2) * 3
(7/2) * 3
21/2
10 (1/2) = answer
1/7 *2 =2/7 take denominator with 1 over it and multiply by numerator
Answer:
9 months
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Fabulous fitness charges a one-time fee of $90 and an additional $25 per month
let the number of months be x
and the total charges be y
y= 25x+90---------1
Wonder weights charges a one-time fee of only $ 27 dollars but charge an additional $32 each month
let the number of months be x
and the total charges be y
y= 32x+27------------2
Required
The value of x, that is the number of months
Step two:
Equating both equations we have
25x+90=32x+27
collect like terms
25x-32x=27-90
-7x=-63
7x=63
divide both sides by 7
x= 63/7
x= 9 months
Answer:
Infinite number of solutions
Step-by-step explanation:
For any value of x, both equations are equal to each other because both sides are identical
<span>Faster maid DATA:
time = x hr/job ; rate = 1/x job/jhr
Slower maid DATA:
time = 3x hr/job ; rate = 1/3x job/hr
Together DATA:
time = 3 hr/job ; rate = 1/3 job/hr
Equation:
rate + rate = together rate
1/x + 1/3x = 1/3
Multiply thru by 3x to get:
3 + 1 = x
x = 4 hrs (time for the faster maid to do the job)</span>
