The answer is B. 53
12 times 5 then sub 7
hope it helps
Answer:
12 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
Step one:
given data
base fee= $60
charge per hour= $15
let the number of hours the plumber work be x
the linear function for the charge is the equation of line.
that is y=mx+c
Step two:
given that y=$240
240=15x+60
240-60=15x
180=15x
divide both sides by 15 we have
x=180/15
x=12
<u>The number of hours is 12</u>
Taking a quotient, we will see that she can make 7 bowls of cereal (and some leftover milk).
<h3>How many bowls of cereal would kathy have?</h3>
We know that for each bowl, she needs 1/2 cups of milk.
And we also know that she has a total of (3 + 3/5) cups of milk.
To know how many bowls she can make, we need to take the quotient between the total that she has and the amount that she needs for each bowl:
(3 + 3/5)/(1/2)
We can rewrite the total as:
3 + 3/5 = 15/5 + 3/5 = 18/5
Then the quotient becomes:
(18/5)/(1/2) = (18/5)*2 = 36/5 = 35/5 + 1/5 = 7 + 1/5
So she can make 7 bowls of cereal (and some leftover milk).
