Answer:

It will take him 200 minutes to read 90 pages.

Step-by-step explanation:

Josh can read 18 pages in 40 minutes.

Ratio of pages to minutes = 18 : 40

Number of pages to read = 90

Minutes = x

Ratio of pages to minutes = 90 : x

The relationship is proportional

18 : 40 :: 90 : x

Product of extremes = Product of means

18x = 40*90

18x = 3600

Dividing both sides by 18

$\frac{18x}{18}=\frac{3600}{18}$

x = 200

Therefore,

It will take him 200 minutes to read 90 pages.

Can someone please teach me how to add, subtract, multiply and divide negative numbers?

If both numbers are negative u add those up and ur answer will be a negative. so number one is negative 9.
if there is more positive ur answer will be a positive. so number 2 is 13.
number is more complicated so negative 3 +4 is 1 because u have more positive and u just subtract those then 1 minus 8 equals negative 7 and negative 7 minus 7 is 0. hope this helps

Answer: $277.91

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

The average of the 2 highest salaried quarters is:

$\dfrac{\$13,500+\$12,775}{2}=\dfrac{\$26,275}{2}=\$3,137.50$

Divide that by 26 (weeks) to find out her average weekly salary:

$\dfrac{\$3,137.50}{26}=\$505.29$

Multiply that by 55% (0.55) to calculate her weekly unemployment benefit:

$\$505.29(0.55)=\$277.908$

Round to the nearest penny --> $277.91
