You made a deal with Ms.Williams to read 100 pages every night. You know that it takes you 32 minutes to read 16 pages. How long
AnnyKZ [126]
Put the problem into a proportion to make it easier to solve.

32        x
      =
16       100

You can use cross products to simplify this proportion.  Multiply 32 by 100, and set that number equal to 16 *x.  

Your equation should now look like this
3200=16x

You are trying to get the variable alone on one side, so you should divide both sides by 16.

If this is performed correctly, then your final answer should be 

x=200.

It will take you 200 minutes (3 hours 20 mins) to read the pages that you promised Ms. Williams

When Cullen cleaned behind his dresser, he found 73 cents, all in nickels and pennies. There were 25 coins. How many were nickel
Georgia [21]
Let n = number of nickels, and p = number of pennies.
The number of coins is 25, so we get this equation.
n + p = 25

The value of the coins is 0.05 per nickel, and 0.01 per penny.
0.05n + 0.01p = 0.73

Now you have a system of equations.

n + p = 25
0.05n + 0.01p = 0.73

Solve the first equation for n:
n = 25 - p

Now substitute into the second equation.

0.05(25 - p) + 0.01p = 0.73

1.25 - 0.05p + 0.01p = 0.73

-0.04p = -0.52

p = 13

There were 13 pennies.
Now we substitute 13 for p in n + p = 25 to find out the number of nickels.

n + 13 = 25
n = 12

There are 13 pennies and 12 nickels.

Check: 13 pennies and 12 nickels does total 25 coins.
13 * 0.01 + 12 * 0.05 = 0.13 + 0.60 = 0.73
The value is $0.73.
Our answer is correct.

The perimeter of GHJ
Dafna1 [17]
They have a scale factor of 5:6 so first we need to find the perimeter of KLM:
11 + 14 + 17 = 42
Then apply the scale factor of 5:6:
\frac{5}{6}  =  \frac{x}{42}
Set the denominators equal:
\frac{35}{42}  =  \frac{x}{42}
So we see that the perimeter of GHJ is 35.
