<h3>Answer:</h3>

10 5/8 cups

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

pot amount = 9 × (bowl amount) + (leftover amount)

... = 9 × (1 1/8) + 1/2

... = 9 × (1 + 1/8) + 4/8 . . . . . show 1 1/8 as a sum, rewrite 1/2 to 4/8

... = 9 + 9/8 + 4/8 . . . . . . . . eliminate parentheses using the distributive property

... = 9 + 13/8 . . . . . . . . . . . . add the fractions

... = 9 + 1 5/8 . . . . . . . . . . . convert from improper fraction to mixed number

... = 10 5/8 . . . . . cups . . . add the integer parts

Lillian is deciding between two parking garages. Garage A charges an initial fee of $4 to park plus $3 per hour. Garage B charge
Georgia [21]

Answer:

5 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Lillian is deciding between two parking garages.

Let the time required to park be represented by t

A = Amount

From Garage A

A = the amount Garage A would charge if Lillian parks for t hours

B = the amount Garage B would charge if Lillian parks for t hours.

Garage A

Garage A charges an initial fee of $4 to park plus $3 per hour.

A = $4 + $3 × t

A = 4 + 3t

Garage B charges an initial fee of $9 to park plus $2 per hour.

B = $9 + $2 × t

B = 9 + 2t

The hours parked, t, that would make the cost of each garage the same is calculated by equating A to B

A = B

4 + 3t = 9 + 2t

Collect like terms

3t - 2t = 9 - 4

t = 5 hours

Therefore, the hours parked, t, that would make the cost of each garage the same is 5 hours
