Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The admission to the fair is $5 and the cost per ride is 50 cents.
Let the number of rides that he can go on be x
If one ride costs 50 cents, x rides will cost 50×x = 50x cents. Converting 50 cents to dollar, it becomes 50/100 = $0.5.
So x rides will cost $0.5x
If his parents gave him $20, he will pay $5 to be admitted into the fair. He would be left with 20- 5 = $15
The equation to find how many rides he can go on will be
0.5x = 15
Since one ride costs $0.5
x rides cost $15
x = 15/0.5 = 30
He can go on 30 rides
Answer:
108
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that Joseph has 48 comic books.
As he sold 1/4 of his collection to his friend, so
The number of books, Josef sold = 1/4 x 48 = 12.
The number of remaining books, Josef has = 48 - 12 = 36.
As he brought twice the number of comic books as he has now, so,
the number of comic books, Josef brought = 2 x 36 = 72.
Now, total number of comic books, Josef has = 36 + 72 = 108.

</span>so it costs $110 per night, $20 per meal</span>
Answer:
4/3
Step-by-step explanation:
Moving from (-4, -9) to (5, 3), x (the 'run') increases by 9 from -4 to 5, and y (the 'rise') increases by 12 from -9 to +3. Thus, the slope of the line connecting the two points is
m = rise / run = 12/9 = 4/3
It may help to think of the change in x (9) as the horizontal leg of a right triangle and the change in y (12) as the vertical leg. Then
m = (vertical leg length) / (horizontal leg length) = 12/9 = 4/3
