Answer: A cherry pie costs 9 and an apple pie cost 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Let an apple pie be represented by a

Let an cherry pie be represented by c

Jennifer sold 12 cherry pies and 3 apple pies for a total of 144. This can be written as:

12c + 3a= 144

Jacob sold 2 cherry pies and 9 apple pies for a total for 126. This can be written as:

2c + 9a = 126

12c + 3a= 144 ............. i

2c + 9a = 126 ........... ii

Multiply equation i by 2

Multiply equation ii by 12

24c + 6a = 288 ........ iii

24c + 108a = 1512 ...... iv

Subtract iv from iii

-102a = -1224

a = 1224/102

a = 12

An apple pie costs 12

From equation i

12c + 3a= 144

12c + (3×12) = 144

12c + 36 = 144

12c = 144 - 36

12c = 108

c = 108/12

c = 9

A cherry pie costs 9

A plane flew for 2 hours at 467 mph (miles per hour) and 5 hours at 536. How far did the plane fly in miles
Archy [21]

Answer:

3614 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

A plane flew for 2 hours at 467 mph

Let us find the distance covered

Speed= distance/time

Distance= speed*time

Distance= 467*2

Distance=934 miles

5 hours at 536

Let us find the distance covered

Speed= distance/time

Distance= speed*time

Distance= 536*5

Distance=2680 miles

Total distance

=2680+934

=3614 miles

What is -11 2/3 x (-4 1/5) = ?
adelina 88 [10]

Answer:

49

Step-by-step explanation:

-11 2/3 x (-4 1/5) =

negative times negative = positive

Change the mixed numerals into fractions.

= 35/3 × 21/5

Multiply the numerators together. Multiply the denominators together.

= (35 × 21)/(3 × 5)

Simplify.

= (7 × 5 × 7 × 3)/(3 × 5)

Divide the numerator and denominator by 3 and by 5.

= 7 × 7

= 49
