Answer:

$hours=1.5$

Step-by-step explanation:

Make an equation. Note key words like "plus", "per" and "total"

$130+56h=214$

where $h$ is the total hours worked. Solve for $h$ :

Subtract 130 from both sides and simplify

$130-130+56h=214-130\\56h=214-130\\56h=84$

Divide both sides by 56 to isolate the variable

$\frac{56h}{56} =\frac{84}{56}\\\\h=\frac{84}{56} \\\\h=\frac{3}{2} \\\\h=1.5$

The plumber worked for an hour and a half.

Done.

Answer:

The plumber worked for 1.5 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 130 + 56x

Substitute 214 for y in the equation

214 = 130 + 56x

-130 -130 Subtract 130 from both sides

84 = 56x Divide both sides by 56

1.5 = x

wariber [46]

Answer:

a) 1 unit per hour will be infused.

b) 5mL per hour will be infused.

Step-by-step explanation:

Each question can be solved as a rule of three with direct measures, that means we have a cross multiplication.

a. How many units per hour will be infused?

20 units are going to be infused in 20 hours. How many units are going to be infused each hour?

1 hour - x units

20 hours - 20 units

$20x = 20$

$x = \frac{20}{20}$

$x = 1$

1 unit per hour will be infused.

b. How many milliliters per hour will be infused?

100mL are going to be infused in 20 hours. How many mL are going to be infused each hour?

1 hour - x mL

20 hours - 100 mL

$20x = 100$

$x = \frac{100}{20}$

$x = 5$

5mL per hour will be infused.
