Answer:
5
Step-by-step explanation:
Set up two equations:
1st: P (for Price family) + J (for Jenkins family) = 45 hours
2nd: 20P + 35J = 1200 liters
Rewrite the first equation as P = 45 – J
Replace P in the second equation:
20(45-J) + 35J = 1200
Simplify:
900 -20J + 35J = 1200
900 +15J = 1200
Subtract 900 from both sides:
15J = 300
Divide both sides by 15:
J = 300/15
J = 20
Jenkins used theirs for 20 hours
Price used theirs for 45-20 = 25 hours.
The answer is 300,000 because you have to round the bigger number that is 2 and don't forget to go next door and round 7 and that tell if it going up one more. We round 277,300 7 is more so add one more to the 2 and that is 300,000.
