Danika signs up to work for 3 1/2 hours at the science fair. If each work shift is 3/4 hour, how many shifts will Danika work?
2 answers:
namely, how many times does 3/4 go into 3½? Let's firstly convert the mixed fraction to improper fraction.

Answer:
Danika signed up to work for 3.5 hours at the science fair, if each work shift is 3/4 hour = 0.75 hours, the amount of shifts will be:
Shifts = 3.5/0.75 = 4,66 ≈ 5 shifts. Given that shifts have to be an integer number, we need to round the result to the nearest integrer.
Therefore, Danika will work 5 shifts.

X+.12*x=190.40
X(1+.12)=190.40
X=190.40/1.12=170
2a
X+x+25=100
2x=75
X=37.5%
Men=.375*270=101

The only factors are 1 and 29
Yes because if you distribute the 3 and multiply it with 3 • x and 3• 6 you’ll get 3x-18
