Evgesh-ka [11]

So for this problem you know that 15 is 1/4 of an hour so to get the amount of papers each individual could deliver by themselves in an hour you would multiply the amount they can deliver in 15 minutes by 4. Denny delivers 6 so multiplying that by 4 is 24. Next Brendan delivers 5 in 15 minutes so multiplying that by 4 you get 20. The final step is to add 20 and 24 to get the total amount of papers between the two of them that gets delivered in an hour. This will result in your answer of 44.

Answer:

x = 57/5 = 11.400

Step-by-step explanation:

Step  1  :

Solving a Single Variable Equation :

1.1      Solve  :    5x-57 = 0

Add  57  to both sides of the equation :

                     5x = 57

Divide both sides of the equation by 5:

                    x = 57/5 = 11.400

One solution was found :

I round to 900 I have twice as many hundreds as ones and all my digits are different but their sums are 18 can someone answer th
stellarik [79]

Answer:

The number of once is 9.1  

The number of hundreds is 8.9

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The total of digits having ones and hundreds = 900

The sum of digits = 18

Let The number of ones digit = O

And The number of hundreds digit = H

So, According to question

H + O = 18             .........1

100 × H + 1 × O = 900          ........2

Solving the equation

( 100 × H - H ) + ( O - O ) = 900 - 18

Or, 99 H + 0 = 882

Or , 99 H = 882

∴   H = \frac{882}{99}

I.e H = 8.9

Put the value of H in eq 1

So, O = 18 - H

I.e  O = 18 - 8.9

∴    O = 9.1

So, number of once = 9.1

number of hundreds = 8.9

Hence The number of once is 9.1  and The number of hundreds is 8.9
