Answer:
a) T= 3.125h
b) $75
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: We know Tania raised $50 for staying awake 16 hours. We also know the amount of money raised varies directly with the time.
We can divide $50 into 16 hours.
50/16 = 25/8
25/8 = 3.125
3.125 = 3 1/8 (You can use a fraction or decimal, whichever is preferred)
That's how much money she earns per hour. It may not make sense because you have 1/8 of a dollar, so it's okay if you're a little confused on that.
Now let's answer the first question: Write an equation relating the money Tania raised and the amount of time, in hours, she stayed awake.
We know Tania earns $3.125 per hour, so we can make it this equation
T= 3.125h
T can represent Tania's earnings, and 3.125 is how much she earns h, hourly.
Now onto the second question: How much would she have raised by staying awake for 24 h?
We need to multiply 3.125, or 3 1/8, 24 times. Your answer should be $75.

You can solve this by putting the number of copies in the top part of the fraction. If you replace the one in the top part of 1/6 with 3, you get the fraction 3/6. Half of six is three and half of two is one, so both fractions are equal. You can test this be dividing the 3 in the top by 3 and the 6 in the bottom by three. Your result will be 1/2. Although there are three times ad many copies, each copy is three times as small, so it balances out.
Answer:
speed of the boat = 100 mph
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x = speed of the boat
upstream speed = x - 4
downstream speed = x + 4
time = 24/(x - 4) = 26/(x + 4)
Cross multiply:
24(x + 4) = 26(x - 4)
24x + 96 = 26x - 104
104 + 96 = 26x - 24x
200 = 2x
x = 100 mph
For example
1>x>3
says x is less than 1 and greater than 3
