Answer:
b) $49
Step-by-step explanation:
The question here is not if Alexis can mow the lawn faster or slower than the person who hires (actually, the time that the person hired took to mow the lawn is irrelevant).
The important part is the time Alexis can save hiring someone:
- Alexis mow her lawn in 30 minutes.
- Alexis earns $100 an hour. Then 30 minutes of her time is worthy $50.
Then, paying $50 or less is a good choice for Alexis.
Therefore the answer is b) $49.
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.
This equation has no solution
Order least to greatest -3/4 , -2/3 ,1/2
