Answer:
6. 225 feet in 3 minutes = 75 feet in 1 minute (slower)
360 feet in 5 minutes = 72 feet in 1 minute
7. $4 for 5 ounces = $0.80 for 1 ounce (most expensive)
$14 for 20 ounces = $0.70 for 1 ounce
8. 72 people in 6 hours = 12 people in 1 hour
117 people in 9 hours = 13 people in 1 hour (greater rate per hour)
Answer:
Will's age = 9 years
Bill's age = 11years
Step-by-step explanation:
Let will age = x
Bill = x +2 since he is 2 years older
x(x+2) = 5( x +x+2) - 1
Opening brackets
x² + 2x = 5(2x + 2) - 1
x² + 2x = 10x + 10 - 1
x² + 2x = 10x + 9
Collect like terms
x² + 2x - 10x - 9 = 0
x² - 8x - 9 = 0
Solve quadratically using factorisation method by finding two factors of +9 that can add up to give -8, the coefficient of x.
The factors are -9 and +1
x² + x - 9x - 9 = 0
x(x + 1) -9( x +1)
x+1) (x -9) =0
x + 1 = 0 or x -9 =0
x = -1 or 9
Age can not be negative
Therefore,
Will's age = 9 years
Bill's age = x+2 = 9+2 = 11years

The number of customers served in the ice cream shop in June, July and August are 125, 25 and 250 customers respectively
<h3>How to write and solve equation?</h3>
let
- June = x
- July = x - 100
- August = 2x
- Total customers = 400
Total = June + July + August
400 = x + (x- 100) + 2x
400 = x + x - 100 + 2x
400 = 4x - 100
400 + 100 = 4x
500 = 4x
x = 500/4
x = 125
So,
June = x
= 125 customers
July = x - 100
125 - 100
= 25 customers
August = 2x
= 2(125)
= 250 customers
