We start at 62 Fahrenheit. And every hour we drop two degrees. We want to know how long it took for the temperature to drop to 40 Fahrenheit.

If one hour passed, then the temperature dropped two degrees.
If two hours passed, then the temperature dropped 4 degrees.

See the pattern? We can define this as 2h. Where h represents time in hours.
We subtract 2h from 62. 

We can write this as a function. F(h) = 62 - 2h.
Where F is the temperature in Fahrenheit. And h is the hour(s).

Now that we have the formula, let's plug in the value 40 Fahrenheit to see how long it took for the temperature to drop to 40 degrees.

40 = 62 - 2h
Subtract 62 from each side

-22 = -2h
Divide both sides by 2

h = 11

So, it took 11 hours for the temperature to drop to 40 Fahrenheit.

Bill spent $42 on fruit at the grocery store. He spent a total of $60 at the store. What percentage of the total did he
Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

70%

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the total percentage of his $60 dollars that he spent on fruit, we simply take the amount of money spent on fruit divided by the total spent.

% spent on fruit = 42 / 60

% spent on fruit = 0.7

% spent on fruit = 70 %

Cheers.

Udrey used compensation to mentally solve the subtraction problem 5.35−0.07
Licemer1 [7]
The last step you need to do is 5.25+0.03, because you took away 0.03 more than what the question asked so you need to add the 0.03 back, which gets you the final result of 5.28.
