Answer:

Shortstop =$3,000,000;

ace pitcher = $21,000,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Let amount earned by shortstop = s

Then, amount earned by ace pitcher = 7 times amount earned by shortstop = (7 × s) = 7s

Total amount Paid = $24,000,000

Amount earned by each player :

s + 7s = 24,000,000

8s = $24,000,000

s = 24,000,000 / 8

s = 3,000,000

Hence,

Salary earned by shortstop = $3,000,000

Salary earned by ace pitcher = (7 * 3,000,000) = $21,000,000

adelina 88 [10]

Answer:

Silver car

Step-by-step explanation:

It seems pretty hard but it's actually REALLY easy. gas mileage means the number of miles you can go on a particular amount of gallons. But the gallons have to be the same for both cars so that it's fair.

so let's go with 10 gallons. pretty broad number right?

so to get 12 gallons(the gallons for the blue car) to 10, We divide it by 12 then multiply it by 10. Try it yourself, (12/12)*10=???

then we do that to 384 (the miles for the blue car)

(384/12)*10=320

so 320 is the mileage for the first car. Repeat the steps for the silver car!

(14/14)*10=10

so then: (504/14)*10= 360.

So which is bigger, 320 or 360?

360 is bigger, meaning it has better gas mileage.

What is the simplified form of the equation 4/5n - 3/5 = 1/5n?
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer:

n = 1 if you meant "(4/5)n - (3/5) = (1/5)n"

Step-by-step explanation:                                                                              

There's some ambiguity here.  Did you mean (4/5)n or did you

              4

mean --------- ?  Please use parentheses to eliminate this ambiguity.

              5n    

I'm going to assume that you meant to type in (4/5)n - (3/5) = (1/5)n.

Then we have (3/5)n = 3/5, or n = 1
