Margie would take 1 hour and 30 minutes to write 1 page of her research paper. Think of it like a proportion:
2.25/ 1.5 = x/1
2.25 is the 2 1/4 converted which is the amount of hours she took.
1.5 is the 1 1/2 converted which are the amount of pages she wrote total.
1 on the right side of the proportion represents 1 page.
And x are the amount of hours used to write 1 page.
And in solving that proportion it would result in 1.5 or 1hr. and 30 min.
Answer
Let the first no. be 2x
second no. =x
third no. =2x/3
A/Q
2x+x+2x/3=132
11x/3=132
x=36.
Hence the second no. is 36
My guess would be -54 because we are starting with -54
Answer:
<u>tulips bulbs cost $5; and daffodil bulbs costs $8 </u>
Step-by-step explanation:
Variables can be used to create equations and set up a system of equations. I used the following variables:
Tulip bulbs= t
Daffodil bulbs= d
We need create two equations using the total sales, and amount of each item sold. Using the variables I chose I set up an equation representing the sales of each girl.
Sumalee sold 6 tulip bulbs and 6 daffodil bulbs for $78.
6t+ 6d= 78
Jennifer sold 6 tulip bulbs and 4 daffodil bulbs for $62.
6t+ 4d= 62
Using the equations we can set up a system of equations. To solve the system you can use either the substitution method or the elimination method.
(substitution)
Isolate one of the variables in the first equation.
6t+ 6d-6t = 78-6t
6d/ 6= (-6t+78)/6
d= -t+13
Substitute d= -t+13 into equation 2 replacing variable d. Using the order of operations solve for t.
6t+ 4(-t+13) = 62
6t- 4t+52 = 62
2t = 10
<u>t= 5</u>
Substituting t=5 for the value of t in equation 1, and solve of d.
6(5)+ 6d= 78
30+ 6d= 78
6d=48
<u>d=8</u>
<u>This means one package of tulips bulbs cost $5, and one bag of daffodil bulbs costs $8 </u>
52. Rahzel wants to determine how much gasoline they had every month
=> He used 78 1/3 gallons of gas monthly
=> his wife used 41 3/8 gallons of gas last month
How much is to total of gas that they both used.
First let’s convert this fraction to decimal
=> 78 1/3 = 78.33
=> 41 3/8 = 41.38
Now, let’s start adding.
=> 78.33 + 41.38 = 119.71 this is already rounded to the nearest hundredths.
