Greatest Common Factor: 12-1/3 = -4/12, 7/4 = 21/12-4/12 + 21/12 = 17/12
Answer in simplest form: 17/12
Let's re-read the statement and question, and then break it down.
He charges a flat fee of $38, plus $22 per hour.
A flat fee of $38 is only a one-time pay, and will never be paid for again.
This means if after two hours, we only add $38 once overall, never more.
Every hour that goes by, he earns $22 each hour.
Now that we've broken this down, we can make an equation.
Let's do 1 hour.
1(22) + 38 = 22 + 38, = 60.
For 1 hour he earns $60.
Let's do 2 hours.
2(22) + 38 = 44 + 38, = 82.
For 2 hours he earns $82.
Let's do 3 hours.
3(22) + 38 = 66 + 38, = 104.
For 3 hours he earns $104.
Let's do 4 hours.
4(22) + 38 = 88 + 38, = 126.
For 4 hours he earns $126.
This is a pattern.
Now let's do 8 hours, which is the main question, "How much does he make in 8 hours?".
8(22) + 38 = 176 + 38, = 214.
For 8 hours he earns $214.
I hope this helps!
Length of the aquarium is 35 yd
Step-by-step explanation:
- Step 1: Volume of the aquarium = 210 yd³ given by Volume = length × width × height. Width = 3 yd and Height = 2 yd
Length = Volume/Width × Height
= 210/3 × 2 = 210/6
= 35 yd
