Set up the equation 88+7.25h=169. Now that we have the equation and the only variable to solve is h, we will begin the algebra.
1. Using the Subtraction Property of Equality, subtract 88 from both sides to get the equation 7.25h = 81
2. Now use the Division Property of Equality to divide both sides of the equation by 7.25. You should then get h = 11.1724...
Now assuming he is getting paid by the hour, the number of hours he needs to work to get the skateboard is 12.
I think maybe 3 miles? Because 6 divided by 2 (the two days) equals 3. So if he ran a hour on Sunday then he ran 3 miles
Answer:
- $52
- this estimate is a little low
Explanation:
a) I might choose 6 1/2 hours and $8 per hour, so the estimated earnings would be ...
6(8) +(1/2)(8) = 52 dollars . . . . estimated earnings
These values are purposely chosen so that one is a little high and the other is a little low, hopefully producing a closer estimate than if both numbers were high (as 7 hours, $8, for example).

b) Using 800 instead of 790 means the pay estimate is about 1/80 = 1.25% high.
Using 6 1/2 instead of 6 3/4 means the hours estimate is about 1/27 ≈ 3.7% low.
So, we expect the product of these values to be slightly low, perhaps by about 2.5%.

<em>Comment on estimating</em>
If you can estimate the error in the estimate with some reasonable accuracy, you can use that to adjust the estimate to a pretty close value.
Answer:
Greater.
Step-by-step explanation:
1/6 is multiplied by 3/2 which is greater than 1 so the result will be greater.
