Let w = number of weeks.
In week w,
Laura has: 720 + 30w
Taylor has: 1200 - 30w
Set the two amounts equal and solve for w, the number of weeks.
720 + 30w = 1200 - 30w
60w = 480
w = 8
They will have the same amount of money in 8 weeks.
Laura will have in 8 weeks:
720 + 30w = 720 + 30 * 8 = 720 + 240 = 960
Taylor will have in 8 weeks:
1200 - 30w = 1200 - 30 * 8 = 1200 - 240 = 960
They will both have $960 in 8 weeks.
Answer:
73 and 113 / 144 ft^2
Step-by-step explanation:
Lets convert everything into pure feet.
10ft 5in = 10 and 5/12 feet = 125/12 feet
14ft 2in = 14 and 1/6 feet = 85/6
Now lets calculate area:
1/2 * 125/12 * 85/6 = 125*85 / 144 = 73 and 113/144
Kala will use 13.2 gallons of gas to drive a distance of 286 miles.
