There are 11 employees for each 7 women.
.. (11/7)*147 = 231 . . . . total number of employees
If you really want to figure this out you make an equation to solve for the time
let's let
x = time from Elena to Jada and
x = time from Jada to Elena
12 then the equation
12 = 5x +3x
would help figuring out their distance say for one of them
12 = x(5+3)
12/8 = x
1.5 = x
1. 5 hours they will meet up
Answer:
Fatima should shade 3 groups of 8 small squares or 24 small squares.
Step-by-step explanation:
Consider the provided information.
Fatima is shading this model to show 0.08 × 3. Shade the correct amount of boxes that will show the product.
Here 3 represents the number of groups and 8 represents the small square.
Multiplication is repeated addition.
We can rewrite the above multiplication as: 0.08 + 0.08 + 0.08
Therefore 0.08 × 3 = 0.24
Here 0.24 represents 24 small squares.
The required model is shown below:
Hence, Fatima should shade 3 groups of 8 small squares or 24 small squares.
Answer:
78
Step-by-step explanation:
The tricky part of this is figuring out how to assign the unknowns. We are told that we are working with two consecutive even integers. Consecutive means "next to" or "in order" and sum means to add. If we use 2 and 4 as examples of our 2 consecutive even integers and assign x to 2, then in order to get from 2 to 4 we have to add 2. So the lesser of the 2 integers is x, and the next one in order will be x + 2. (2 and 4 are just used as examples; they mean nothing to the solving of this particular problem. You could pick any 2 even consecutive integers and find the same rule applies. All we are doing here with the example numbers is finding a rule for our integers.) Now we have the 2 expressions for the integers, we will add them together and set the sum equal to 158:
x + (x + 2) = 158
The parenthesis are unnecessary since we are adding, so when we combine like terms we get
2x + 2 = 158 and
2x = 156 and
x = 78
That means that the lesser of the 2 integers in 78, and the next one in order would be 80, and 78 + 80 = 158
