Answer:
The answer to your question is
Part A. Archimedes grades 6 1/4 tests per day
Part B. 8 19/32 days
Part C. 6 26/29 days
Step-by-step explanation:
Part A
Total time = 6 2/5 days
Number of tests = 40 tests
Process
1.- Convert the mixed fraction to improper fraction
6 2/5 = (30 + 2) / 5 = 32/5
2.- Divide 40 by 32/5
40/1 / 32/5 = (40 x 5) / (32 x 1)
= 200 / 32
Simplify
100 / 16 = 50/8 = 25/4
3.- Convert 25/4 to mixed fractions
6
4 25
1
25/4 = 6 1/4
Archimedes grade 6 1/4 tests per day
Part B
15 more tests
Total time = 32/5
Total tests = 40 + 15 = 55
Process
1.- Divide 55 by 32/5
55 / 1 / 32 /5 = (55 x 5) / (32 x 1)
= 275 / 32
2.- Convert 275/32 to a mixed fraction
8
32 275
256
19
Result 8 19/32 days
Part C
1.- Divide 55 by 7.25
50 / 7.25 = 5000 / 725
6
725 5000
- 4350
650
Result 6 650/750 = 6 26/29
Answer:
12 weeks
Step-by-step explanation:
Step one:
given data
let the heights of the plants be y
and the number of weeks be x
Plant A
y=3x+8.5--------------1
Plant B
y=2.5x+14.5----------2
Required
The number of weeks taken for both plants to have the same height
,equate the two expressions above
3x+8.5=2.5x+14.5
3x-2.5x=14.5-8.5
0.5x= 6
divide both sides by 0.5
x= 6/0.5
x= 12 weeks
Answer:
3
Step-by-step explanation:
Function B looks like y = 3x + 4
with Function A being y = 9x + 4
9 is 3 times more than 3
Um, I don't know if I actually answered the question, but I think that the second one is cheaper to rent.
