Answer:
5.2 Minutes, or 5 minutes and 12 seconds
Step-by-step explanation:
You can solve this problem by working backward. Since our number gets smaller by a 1/10 or 0.1, in order to work backward we must multiply 3.60 by 10/9, since one tenth has been taken away already. When we do this, we get 4.0. When we add 1.2 minutes to that, we get a final answer of 5.2 minutes, or 5 minutes and 12 seconds.
7(x + 2) = 6(x + 5)
7x + 14 = 6x + 30 |subtract 14 from both sides
7x = 6x + 16 |subtract 6x from both sides
x = 16
The answer is eighty one over four
Okay so first you have to subtract 17000 from 9200 to see how much money you have left to spend. Then once you get that number, which is 7800, you have to see what's that maximum number of acres that you can get. So you divide 7800 from 41.00 and you can get your answer. Your answer will be 190 acres. 190 acres is the highest you can go without going over budget.
