The first thing we must do for this case is to define a variable.
We have then:
x: weight of each pallet with cement
We then have the following equation:
16x = 4856
Clearing x we have:
x = (4856) / (16)
x = 303.5 punds
Answer:
each pallet with cement weigh:
x = 303.5 punds
We can compare by converting Johnny's reading time into the same unit of Jacky's, hours.
There are 60 minutes in an hour, so use this:

15 < 20, so Johnny read faster. This is 5 pages faster per hour than Jacky.
#3)answer is choice D.77+W<_95;W<_18
#4)answer is choice A. t<7
Answer:
40
Step-by-step explanation:
6% of number = 6/100 × x = 6x/100 = 3x/50
Sum of the number and 6% of itself = 42.4
x + (3x/50) = 42.4
(50x+3x)/50 = 42.4
53x = 42.4 × 50
53x = 2120
x = 2120/53
x = 40
A. The equation to find the distance of the flowerbed from the hive is:
, where x is the distance.
B. The flowerbed is 2250 feet far from the hive.
<u><em>Explanation</em></u>
Suppose, the distance of the flowerbed from the hive is
feet.
The bee flies 20 feet per second directly to a flowerbed from its hive and flies directly back to the hive at 12 feet per second.
As,
So, the time taken by the bee to reach the flowerbed
seconds and the time taken to fly back to the hive
seconds.
The bee stays at the flowerbed for 15 minutes or (15×60)seconds or 900 seconds and it is away from the hive for a total of 20 minutes or (20×60)seconds or 1200 seconds.
So, the equation will be.......

Thus, the distance of the flowerbed from the hive is 2250 feet.
