IRISSAK [1]3 years ago

Answer:

Conrad worked 11 2/3 hours this week.  

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the total number of hours that Conrad worked this week, we need to take his total from the week before and multiply it by the increase in time from this week.  Seeing the key word 'times' in the problem lets us know that the operation is multiplication.  In order to make our multiplication problem easier, we can convert both mixed numbers into improper fractions.  6 2/3 is also 20/3 and 1 3/4 is also 7/4.  We can then multiply 20/3 x 7/4, in which case we multiply the numerators together and the denominators together to get: (20 * 7)/ (3*4) = 140/12 = 11 2/3 hours for this week.

A pet survey found that the ratio of dogs to cats is 2/5. Write and solve a proportion that shows the number of dogs
Irina18 [472]
So,

The ratio of dogs to cats:
\frac{2}{5}

The other proportion:
\frac{x}{140}

\frac{2}{5} =  \frac{x}{140}

5 times 28 is 140.

Multiply the fraction by the appropriate form of 1
\frac{2}{5} * \frac{28}{28} =  \frac{56}{140}

There are 56 dogs when the number of cats is 140.

Roberto is 3 years older than Carolyn. In 7 years the sum of their ages will be 81. How old is Roberto now?
Nuetrik [128]

Answer: 35

the age of Roberto is x (x > 3)(x ∈ N)

because Roberto is 3 years older than Carolyn => the age of Carolyn is x - 3

in 7 years, the age of Roberto is x + 7; the age of Carolyn is x - 3 + 7 = x + 4

because  In 7 years the sum of their ages will be 81 =>

x + 7 + x + 4 = 81

⇔ 2x + 11 = 81

⇔ 2x = 70

⇔ x = 70/2 = 35

=>  the age of Roberto is 35

If H= 2f over m+1, solve the equation for f
Viefleur [7K]
H = 2f / (m+1)
[multiply by (m+1)]
h(m+1) = 2f
[divide by 2]
f = (h (m + 1)) / 2

3b / (b+2) = 12 / (b+2)
[multiply by (b+2)]
3b = 12
[divide by 3]
b = 4

3 / (6x + 1) / 2 = 8 / (x + 4) / 3
[multiply both denominators to mike one denominator]
3 / 8(6x+1) = 8 / 3(x+4)
[expand brackets]
3 / (48x + 8) = 8 / (3x + 12)
[multiply by (48x + 8)]
3 = 8(48x + 8) / (3x+12)
[multiply by (3x+12)]
3(3x +12) = 4(48x + 8)
[simplify]
9x + 36 = 192x + 32
173x = 4
x = 4 / 173

Congratulations! You just won the lottery and plan to buy a bunch of cars and motorcycles for all your friends. You purchase 50
Sedaia [141]

Step 1

Let n represent car and m represent motorcycles.

n + m = 50 ...................1

car has four wheels and motorcycle has two wheels

4n + 2m = 164 .............................. 2

Step 2

Solve equation 1 and 2 simultaneously.

from (1), make n subject of relation and substitute in equation 2.

n = 50 - m

Step 3

Substitute n in equation 2

4(50 - m) + 2m = 164

200 - 4m + 2m = 164

collect like terms

200 - 164 = 4m - 2m

36 = 2m

m = 36/2

m = 18

next find n

n = 50 - m

n = 50 - 18

n = 32

There are 32 cars and 18 motorcycles.
