Bingel [31]

<em>Working together</em>, decorating 16 dozens of cookies will take 103 minutes.

<u>Let's calculate theor individual work rate</u> :

  • Rate = 1/ time

Felix's rate = 1/90

Oscar's rate = 1/120

Combined rate = 1/90 + 1/120 = (4 + 3) / 360 = 7/360

<u>Time taken for both of the to decorate 8 dozens</u> :

Reciprocal of their combined rate = 1 ÷ (7/360) = 51.428571 minutes

<u>Hence, the time taken to decorate 16 dozens will be</u> :

(16/8) × 51.428571 = 102.857 = 103 minutes (nearest while number).

exis [7]

Answer:12000

Step-by-step explanation:

During the Playoff the schools football team has on average 30% their games than during the regular season

The average for this year's playoffs attendance was 15,600 fans

To get the number of fans during a regular season goes thus:

Since there is an increase of 30%, we add 100% to 30% which gives:

100% + 30% = 130%

= 15600 ÷ 130%

= 15600 ÷ 130/100

= 15600 × 100/130

= 15600 × 0.7692

= 12000

There are 12000 fans during a regular season

Help me plz this is hard
cricket20 [7]

you first use distributive property for the multiplication

[(2*4x)-(2*11)]+9=19

8x-22+9=19

Then, you need to leave the variable alone moving all the other numbers with the opposite operation (addition to substraction, substraction to addition, multiplication to division, division to multiplication)

8x=19+22-9

8x=(19+22)-9

8x=41-9

8x=32

Then as 8 and x are multiplying you pass it dividing

x=32/8

x=4

If you add 21 to my number and then multiply the result by 3, you will get 84 more than two-thirds of my number. Find my number.
Ksivusya [100]

Based on the calculations, the unknown number is equal to \frac{-45}{7}

  • Let the unknown number be x.

<h3>How to find an unknown number:</h3>

Translate the word problem into an algebraic expression, we have;

Adding 21 to the unknown number:

21 +x

Multiplying the result by 3:

3\times (21+x)

84 more than two-thirds of the unknown number:

\frac{2x}{3} +84

Equating the equations, we have:

3\times (21+x) = \frac{2x}{3} +84\\\\43+3x=\frac{2x}{3} +84

Cross-multiplying, we have:

43+3x=\frac{2x}{3} +84\\\\129+9x=2x+84\\\\9x-2x=84-129\\\\7x=-45\\\\x=\frac{-45}{7}
