Answer:

about 112 customers

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

To find out how many customers does the local shop serve in a day, multiply the fraction 2/9 by the number of customers that the shop run serve in a day

Let

x ----> the number of customers that the shop run serve in a day

y ----> the number of customers that the local shop serve in a day

$y=\frac{2}{9}x$

we have

x=502

substitute the value of x in the equation

$y=\frac{2}{9}(502)$

$y=111.6$

Round up

so

about 112 customers

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Order of Operations in Mathematics follow this following rule :

Parentheses
Exponents
Multiplication and Division
Addition and Subtraction

This rule is known as the PEMDAS method.

In working on a mathematical problem, we first calculate operation that is in parentheses, follow by exponentiation, then multiplication or division, and finally addition or subtraction.

Let us tackle the problem.

This problem is about Percentage.

<em>A local coffee shop serves 2/9 as many customers as a shop run by a national coffee chain.</em>

$\texttt{Local Shop's customers} = \frac{2}{9} \times \texttt{National Chain's customers}$

$\texttt{ }$

<em>The shop run by the chain serves 502 customers day.</em>

$\texttt{National Chain's customers} = 502$

$\texttt{ }$

$\texttt{Local Shop's customers} = \frac{2}{9} \times \texttt{National Chain's customers}$

$\texttt{Local Shop's customers} = \frac{2}{9} \times 502$

$\texttt{Local Shop's customers} = 111\frac{5}{9}$

$\texttt{Local Shop's customers} \approx 112$

$\texttt{ }$

<h2>Conclusion:</h2>

The local shop serves about 112 customers in a day

Double the quotient of 3 and 6

Hitman42 [59]

$\huge{\boxed{1}}$

This statement can be represented as $2*\frac{3}{6}$ , since the quotient is the answer to a division problem.

Divide. $2*\frac{1}{2}$

Multiply. $2*\frac{1}{2}=\frac{2}{1}*\frac{1}{2}=\frac{2*1}{1*2}=\frac{2}{2}$

Simplify. When the numerator and denominator are the same, the fraction is equal to 1. $\frac{2}{2}=1$

Jeffery babysits for 4 dollars per hour, he also works as a math tutor for 7 dollars per hour. He is only allowed to work 13 hou

Oksana_A [137]

Given:

Jeffery babysits for 4 dollars per hour and works as a math tutor for 7 dollars per hour.

He is only allowed to work 13 hours total per week.

He wants to make at least 65 dollars.

To find:

The system of inequalities to represent this situation.

Solution:

Let x be the number of hours he babysits per week and y be the number of hours h works as a math tutor.

He is only allowed to work 13 hours total per week. It means sum of x and y must be less than or equal to 13.

$x+y\leq 13$

He wants to make at least 65 dollars. It means total earnings must be greater than or equal to 65.

$4x+7y\geq 65$

Number of hours can not be negative.

$x\geq 0, y\geq 0$ .

Therefore, the required system of inequalities contains some equations, $x+y\leq 13,4x+7y\geq 65$ and $x, y\geq 0$ .
