Answer:
Carter family = 25 hours
Davis family = 31 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's say the number of hours the Carter family used their sprinkler is x and the number of hours the Davis family used their sprinkler for is y.
So combined:
x + y = 45 hours
and we are also told that:
40x + 15y = 1300 L
So we can do simultaneous equations to solve the problem.
With some rearranging, we can figure out that:
y= 45 - x
and by substituting that into the second equation:
40x + 15 (45 -x) = 40x + 675 - 15x = 1300L
25x = 1300 - 675
25x = 625
x = 25 = hours that the Carter family used their sprinkler
and we can substitute that back into the original equation to find how many hours the Davis family used their sprinkler so:
25 + y = 56
y = 31
The Davis family used their sprinkler for 31 hours whilst the Carter family used their sprinkler for 25 hours.
Answer:
144
Step-by-step explanation:
120 x 1.20 = 144
.20 is 20% and adding the 1 adds it to the original value
4.2x - 1.4y = 2.1 |multiply both sides by 10
42x - 14y = 21 |subtract 42x from both sides
-14y = 21 - 42x |change signs
14y = 42x - 21 |divide both sides by 14
y = 3x - 1.5
Answer:
3. 224 cm3
4. 35 cm3
5. 60 cm3
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the volume you need to multiple the base times the height times the length.
(16 - 4) ÷ 2
This would give you $6, so that is how much they expect you to spend per meal.
