Answer:
Lane sold 34 homes.
Nanda sold 102 homes.
Step-by-step explanation:
This question can be solved by a system of equations.
I am going to say that:
Nanda sold x homes
Lane sold y homes
Over the past 6 months they sold 136 homes.
This means that
Nanda sold 3 times as many homes as Lane.
This means that
Replacing in the first equation:
Lane sold 34 homes.
Nanda sold 102 homes.
Answer:
4.75 inches.
Step-by-step explanation:
We must introduce the symbols for inches and feet.
Here we will use, x' = x feet and x" = x inches
A high school track teams long jump record is 21 feet and inches i.e. 21'2.25" this year.
Now, Tim's best long jump is 20 feet and inches i.e. 20'9.5".
So, the difference between the record jump and Tim's best jump is
(21'2.25" - 20'9.5")
= (21'2.25" - 21') + (21' - 20'9.5")
= 2.25" + 2.5" {Since, 1' = 12" i.e. 21' = 20' 12"}
= 4.75"
Therefore, Tim has to jump 4.75 inches farther to break the record. (Answer)
