On Monday, it rained 1 1/4 inches. On Tuesday, it rained 3/5 inch. How much more did it rain on Monday than on Tuesday?

1 answer:

7 0

Make the denominators the same. 5(11/4) and 4(3/5). Therefore it is 55/ 20 and 12/20. 55-12 is 43. It rained 43/20 inches more on Monday than on Tuesday.

Joseph earns $15 for every lawn he mows. Is the amount of money he earns proportional to the number of lawns he mows? Make a tab

Given that Joseph earns $15 for every lawn he mows.

so if he mows lown 1 time then his earning = $15

if he mows lown 2 time then his earning = $15*2= $30

if he mows lown 3 time then his earning = $15*3= $45

if he mows lown 4 time then his earning = $15*4= $60

if he mows lown 5 time then his earning = $15*5= $75

So the required table will be:

From the table we can see that Joseph's earning increases by $15 each time so we can say that YES, the amount of money he earns proportional to the number of lawns he mows.
