Okay! Let's think simply about this and set up an equation.

18 votes + 22 votes + y votes = ?

It has to equal 68 votes because the problem says <em>everyone voted. </em>

All we need to do to figure out how much y is, is to subtract 18 and 22 from 68.

That way, we are left with however many votes the student gave to the <em>3rd candidate. </em>

<u>18 + 22 + y = 68 </u>

<u>y = 68 - 18 - 22 </u>

<u>y = 28 </u>

Your answer is 28 votes

The cost of 90 kg of rice is 4500. what is the cost of 2 quintal of rice?​
gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

The cost of 2 quintal of rice is $10,000.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the cost of 2 quintals of rice, knowing that 90 kilos of said product is worth $ 4,500, it is first necessary to establish the equivalence between quintals and kilograms. In this regard, a quintal is equivalent to 100 kilograms, so 2 quintals are equivalent to 200 kilos.

Now, to determine the cost per kilogram of rice, the following calculation is required:

4,500 / 90 = X

50 = X

Therefore, 1 kilogram of rice costs $ 50. Thus, since 200 x 50 equals 10,000, 2 quintals of rice will cost $ 10,000.

Answer:

Gerrard

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the size of each poster be x

Eve's poster portion painted will be

=\frac{1}{6}\times x\\=\frac{x}6}

Gerrard's painted portion will be:

=\frac{1}{5}\times x\\=\frac{x}{5}

From the two inequalities, we find that \frac{x}{5} is greater than \frac{x}{6}  by x/30

\frac{x}{5}-\frac{x}{6}\\=\frac{x}{30}\\

hence Gerrard has the larger blue section. His portion is 16.67% greater than Eve's

NemiM [27]
The complete question is
<span>Sarah rides her horse for 2 1/6 hrs with a constant speed of 6 km/hr and then for another 2 hours and 5 minutes with a constant speed of 12 km/hr what is her average speed for the total trip?</span>

we know that
speed=distance/time

1) Sarah rides her horse for 2 1/6 hrs with a constant speed of 6 km/hr
time=2 1/6 hrs----> 13/6 hrs
speed=6 km/h
distance=speed*time----> 6*(13/6)---> 13 km

2)for another 2 hours and 5 minutes with a constant speed of 12 km/hr
time=2hrs+5 minutes----> 2+(5/60)--> 125/60 hrs
speed=12 km/hrs
distance=speed*time----> 12*(125/60)---> 25 km

3) find the average speed for the total trip
total distance=13 km+25 km----> 38 km
total time=(13/6)+(125/60)----> (10*13+125)/60----> 4.25 hours
speed=38/4.25----> 8.94 km/hrs

the answer is
8.94 km/hrs
