Answer:
6 hours. ( I DID IT USING PROPORTIONS!)
Step-by-step explanation:
houses/hours
130/2.5= 312/x
(cross multiply)
130x = 780
130x/130 = 780/ 130 (divide each by 130)
6 = h
Answer:
37.5% decrease
Step-by-step explanation:
To find a relative percentage you generally follow the rule of part divided by whole.
$100 / $160 = .625 (62.5%)
So $100 is 62.5% of $160
To find the decrease we need to subtract 62.5% from 100%
100 - 62.5 = 37.5
Part A: 0.10x + 0.25 = 0.80 (dimes are 10 cents or 0.10 dollars, quarters are 0.25 dollars)
Part B: Plug in what you DO know and solve the one you DON’T:
0.10x + 0.25(2) = 0.80
0.10x + 0.50 = 0.80. Subtract 0.50 from both sides:
0.10x = 0.30 (Divide both sides by 0.10)
x = 3
Therefore you have 3 dimes
The answer is 36.
12 / 5 = 2.4
2.4 • 15 = 36
I hope this helps!
