Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The admission to the fair is $5 and the cost per ride is 50 cents.

Let the number of rides that he can go on be x

If one ride costs 50 cents, x rides will cost 50×x = 50x cents. Converting 50 cents to dollar, it becomes 50/100 = $0.5.

So x rides will cost $0.5x

If his parents gave him $20, he will pay $5 to be admitted into the fair. He would be left with 20- 5 = $15

The equation to find how many rides he can go on will be

0.5x = 15

Since one ride costs $0.5

x rides cost $15

x = 15/0.5 = 30

He can go on 30 rides

8 = 6 + b
b = 2

The equation is y = 2x + 2

It takes a new mail carrier 4 hours to deliver the mail on route a. It takes an experienced mail carrier 3 hours to do the same
Pani-rosa [81]

Answer: \frac{12}{7}\ \text{hours}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

New mail carrier takes 4 hours for delivery i.e.

New mail carrier completes \frac{1}{4} part of work in 1 hour

Old mail carrier takes 3 hours for delivery  i.e.

mail carrier completes \frac{1}{3}  part of work in 1 hour

If they work together, they complete the work in x hours i.e.

\Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{x}=\dfrac{1}{4}+\dfrac{1}{3}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{x}=\dfrac{3+4}{12}\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{12}{7}\ \text{hours}
