Step-by-step Answer:

Given:

Bill : 3 minutes / apple

Frank : 5 minutes / 2 apples, or 2.5 minutes / apple.

So in 15 minutes, Bill eats 5 apples, and Frank eats 15/2.5 = 6 apples for a total of 11 apples.

To eat completely at least 12 apples, it would take 15 minutes + 1 apples, which means 17.5 minutes, with Bill having eaten 5 5/6 apples, and Frank having eaten 7 apples, exactly.

So the minimum time to eat 12 apples would be 17.5 minutes.

Note: at 18 minutes, they would have eaten 13 1/5 apples.

Charlie runs 2 laps in 8 minutes. How many minutes will 9 laps take him?
Fofino [41]

Answer:

36 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

We can write a ratio

2 laps           9 laps

-------------   = --------------

8 minutes     x minutes

Using cross products

2x = 8*9

2x = 72

Divide by 2

2x/2 = 72/2

x = 36 minutes

There are 120 students in class 7. It is known that
Radda [10]

Multiply total students by 2/3 to find how many like math:

Like math = 120 x 2/3 = 240/3 = 80 total students like math

Multiply total students by 3/5 to find number of boys:

120 x 3/5 = 360/5 = 72 boys

A) number of girls = total students - boys = 120 -72 = 48 girls

B) from above 80 students like math

C) number of boys that like math = number of students that like math minus girls that like math: 80- 35 = 35 boys like math

Find the zeros of the quadratic function: y= 6(7x + 9)(8x - 3).
fiasKO [112]

Answer:

A) (-9/7,0), (3/8,0)

Step-by-step explanation:

Zeros of a quadratic function:

x for which y = 0.

In this question:

y = 6(7x + 9)(8x - 3)

It's 0 if one of the factors is 0. 6 is never 0, now about the other to:

7x + 9 = 0

7x = -9

x = -\frac{9}{7}

So (-9/7, 0) is a zero of the quadratic function.

The other is:

8x - 3 = 0

8x = 3

x = \frac{3}{8}

(3/8,0) is the other zero.

Thus, the correct answer is given by option A.
