Since each hour is 3/8 of a tone then, namely how many times does 3/8 go into 24?  well, is just their quotient.

\bf 24\div\cfrac{3}{8}\implies \cfrac{24}{1}\div\cfrac{3}{8}\implies \cfrac{24}{1}\cdot\cfrac{8}{3}\implies \cfrac{8}{1}\cdot \cfrac{8}{1}\implies 64

You order two servings of pancakes and a fruit cup. The cost of the fruit cup is $1.50 you leave a 15% tip. Your total bill is $
soldier1979 [14.2K]
<span>1.       </span><span>Your total cost if 11.50 dollars.
It says that you ordered pancakes and a fruit cup
Pancake costs = x
Fruit cup cost = 1.50 dollars
you leave a tip = 15%

The equation would be:
=> (1.50 + x) .15 = 11.50 dollars
=> x = 11.50 – 1.50 x .15
=>  Now, let’s find the cost of the pancake
=> 11.50 - 1.50 fruit cake = 10
=> 10 x .15 tip = 8.5
Thus, the price of the pancake is 8.5</span>

Convert the rate 1000 ounces per 2 hours to cups per minutes?
Andrews [41]
125 cups in 120 minutes  (because 1000 oz/8 = 125 cups and  2 hrs is 120 minutes)

\frac{125}{120} = \frac{n}{1}

now reduce the fraction by dividing the numerator and denominator by 5 = (optional)
\frac{25}{24} =  \frac{n}{1}
So 24n = 25  Divide both sides by 24
n= 1  1/24 cups per minute

If 1000 square centimeters of material is available to make a box with a square base and an open top, find the largest possible
guapka [62]
<span>The area of the base is x^2> The height is h. Each side of the box has area xh. There are 4 sides of the box so the total surface area of the box is x^2+4xh and that is equal to 1000. Solve that equation for h: x^2+4xh = 1000 h = (1000-x^2)/4x so the Volume = x^2[(1000-x^2)/4x] Simplify and get V = 250x-x^3/4 The volume will be a maximum when its first derivative is 0. V' = 250-3/4x^2 Set to 0 and solve. x=18.26 Now plug into the volume function to find the maximum volume: V=250(18.26)-(18.26)^3/4 V= 4564.35 - 1522.10 =3042.25</span>
