Mary’s yard is a mess. She needs to hire someone to prune her trees and shrubs. A landscaping service she calls quotes her a pri

ce of $15 consultation fee plus $8 an hour for the actual work. Mary’s neighbor has offered to help her out. She doesn’t charge a consultation fee, but does charge $10 an hour for her work. Who do you think Mary should hire for a 3-hour job? When, if at all, would it be more economical to hire the other service. (Set up and solve a system of equations to answer this question.) a. Mary should hire her neighbor; if there was more than 7.5 hours of work she should hire the landscaping service. b. Mary should hire her neighbor; if there was more than 4.2 hours of work she should hire the landscaping service. c. Mary should hire the landscaping service; if there was more than 7.5 hours of work she should hire her neighbor. d. Mary should hire the landscaping service; if there was more than 4.2 hours of work she should hire her neighbor.

Answer:

Please mark me brainliest and I hoped this helped!

She should ask her neighbor to help her.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use equations to help us figure out this answer.

8x + 15 = y

10x = y

If she has a 3 hour job, we can use 3 instead of x.

8(3) + 15 = y

24 + 15 = y

30 = y for the landscaping service

10(3) = y

30 = y for a neighbors help

It will cost her 9 dollars less, so she should go with the neighbor.

Express the fractions 1/2, 3/16, and 7/8 with an LCD
12345 [234]
You first need to find the LCD (lowest common denominator). You will need to find the smallest number that is a multiple of all numbers that is the denominator (2, 16, 8). Or, to say it another way, all the numbers in the denominator need to be a factor of this number. 

You can find this by first checking if the largest number that is the denominator-- in this case 16-- is already the LCD, which means 16 is divisible by all the other numbers. 

If this does not work, then multiply all the numbers together to get the LCD-- since you multiplied them together, you know that they will all be factors of the product. 

However, you will be able to see that 16 is indeed the lowest common denominator: 

2 × 8=16 

8 × 2=16 

16 × 1=16 

So, after you find the LCD, multiply both the numerator and the denominator by the number that you would need to multiply the denominator to get the LCD (the whole point is that you want to get the denominator to be the LCD, but to do that you need to multiply both the top and bottom by the same number to keep the fraction the same). 

(1/2) x (8/8)= 8/16 

(3/16) x (1/1)= 3/16 

(7/8) x (2/2)= 14/16

Choose the BEST estimate!
Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

About 300 dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

THe best estimate for week one is 300, because 96 rounds to 100, and 100 * 3 equals 300.

The best estimate for week 2 is 600, because 204 rounds to 200, and 200 * 3 equals 600.

600 - 300 = 300, therefore the difference is about 300 dollars.

Hope this helps!
