Jane is paid 14.85 an hour for regular 40 hour work week. her overtime pay for any hours over 40 per week is 1.5 times her regul

klasskru [66]

Around 6 hours (exact decimal would be 5.99865). I did this by multiplying 14.85*40 (getting 594). After that, I subtracted 594 from 727.65 (getting 133.65), then multiplying 14.85 by 1.5, getting 22.28, and then, I did 133.65/22.28, getting 5.99865, which I rounded to 6.

Treat the 2p+q as x

6x2-5x-25
trial and error
(2x-5)(3x+5)
replace x with (2p+q)
(2(2p+q)-5)(3(2p+q)+5)
(4p+2q-5)(6p+3q+5)

Does anyone know this??

Hi there! The answer is C.

Explanation:
We have the following equation:

$\frac{8}{15} = \frac{x}{6}$
To solve this type of equation (with an x in the denominator of a fraction) we must cross-multiply the numerator and the denominator.

$15 \times x = 8 \times 6$
Multiply

$15x = 40$
Divide both sides by 15.

$x = \frac{40}{15} = 2 \frac{2}{3}$
~ Hope this helps you!
