In an ice cream shop there is some money in a drawer. After 6 ice creams were sold, there were 70 euros left in the drawer. Afte

Verizon [17]

Answer: There were 40 euros in the drawer at the beginning.

Step-by-step explanation:

When we subtract 6 from 16, we get 10 more ice-creams were sold.

Similarly, we subtract 70 from 120, we get 50 euros was the total selling price of 10 ice-creams.

i.e. Selling price of 1 ice-cream = (50)÷10 =5 euros

Selling price of 6 ice-creams = 6 x 5 = 30 euros

Money in the drawer at the beginning = 70-30 = 40 euros

Hence, there were 40 euros in the drawer at the beginning.

Molly measured the diameter of her bike tire and found that it was 2 feet across. She estimated that for every turn of the tire,

natulia [17]

Answer:

Molly's estimation was approximately correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Diameter of bike tire = 2 feet

Also Given:

She estimated that for every turn of the tire, the bike traveled about 6 feet.

Estimated Distance traveled = 6 feet

We need to find that whether her estimation reasonable.

Solution:

Now we know that Distance traveled is equal to Circumference of tire.

Since Tire is in circular shape.

We can say that;

Circumference of the tire will be π times diameter.

framing in equation form we get;

Circumference of the tire = $\pi \times 2 = 6.28 \ feet$

Now The actual distance traveled is 6.28 feet and Molly estimated as 6 feet.

Hence we can say that Molly's estimation was approximately correct.

if a motercycle is moving at a constant speed down the highway of 40 km/hr, how long would it the motorcycle to travel 10 km

ahrayia [7]

Answer:

15 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

First, the motorcycle goes at a speed of 40 km/hr.

The question asks for how long it would take to travel 10 km.

Well, there are 60 minutes in an hour, since we will be translating into minutes.

Also, 10 km is 1/4 of 40 km, so it would make sense that the time length would be 1/4 of an hour as well.

1/4 of 60 minutes is 15 minutes. So it takes 15 minutes for the motorcycle to travel 10 km.

Now, if all this wordy stuff is too much to comprehend, you can also solve using proportional relationships.

$\frac{40km}{60min}=\frac{10km}{xmin}$

Now cross multiply:

$40km*xmin=10km*60min\\40x=600$

Divide both sides by 40:

$\frac{40x}{40}=\frac{600}{40}\\x=15$

Again, this shows that it wouls take 15 minutes for the motorcycle to travel 10 km.
