% damaged =   (14 000/40000) * 100%
 
                    =  14/40 * 100%
                    
                    = 0.35*100%
 
                    = 35%

Answer:

The percentage of the forest was damaged is 35%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

14000 acres of a  40,000 acre forest burned in a forest fire.

in order to find the percentage of the forest was damaged simply divide 14000 with 40000 and multiply it with 100%.

\frac{14000}{40000}\times{100\%}

0.35\times{100\%}

35\%

Therefore, the percentage of the forest was damaged is 35%.

Yesterday, Sharon read 14 pages of a book. Today, she continued reading the book at the same speed. She read 10 pages in 35 minu
horrorfan [7]

Answer:

Sharon spent a total of 49 minutes yesterday reading the book

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Calculate the rate at which she reads

The total number of pages she reads at any given time interval can be expressed as;

T=P×m

where;

T=Total number of pages she reads

P=the rate at which she reads in number of pages per minute

m=total number of minutes she takes reading a book

In our case;

T=10 pages

P=p

m=35 minutes

replacing;

10=p×35

p=10/35

p=(10/35)

The rate at which she reads=(10/35) pages per minute

Step 2: Calculate the time she spent reading the book yesterday

Yesterdays variables are as follows;

T=14 pages

p=(10/35) pages per minute

m=unknown

replacing;

14=(10/35)×m

m=14×(35/10)

m=49

Sharon spent a total of 49 minutes yesterday reading the book

Hamish and Harry work as plumbers. Harry earns a dollar more than the amount Hamish earns per hour. The amount Harry earns per h
natulia [17]

Answer:

Hamish and Harry work as plumbers. Harry earns a dollar an hour more than 5/4 the amount hamish earns per hour. harry earns per hour is 2$ less than 7/5 the amount hamish earns per hour. how much do each of them make an hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x is the  amount Harry earns 

y is the amount Hamish earns 

x=(5/4)y+1 ⇒ (x-1)*4/5 = y-------- equation 1

x=(7/5)y-2⇒ (x+2)*5/7 = y-------- equation 2

equals 1 and 2

(x-1)*4/5 = (x+2)*5/7

(4x-4)/5 = (5x+10)/7

(4x-4)*7 = (5x+10)*5

28x-28 = 25x+50

28x-25x = 50+28

3x = 78

x = 26

substitute x = 26 for y=(x-1)*4/5

y = (x-1)*4/5

y =  (26-1)*4/5

y = 20

the answer is

<h3>Harry earns $26 an hour</h3><h3>Hamish earns  $20 an hour</h3>
