Answer:

17

Step-by-step explanation:

AC = AB + BC

Since we know what each variable equals, we can write out the equation as shown:

47 = 5x + 3x - 1

Combining like terms:

47 = 8x - 1

Add 1 on both sides:

48 = 8x

Divide 8 on both sides:

X = 6

Now that we know what X equals, we can solve BC.

BC = 3(6) - 1

BC = 18 - 1

BC = 17

Therefore BC = 17.

Collins has a part-time job as a dog walker. The table below shows the amount of money Collins earned for different numbers of h
kondor19780726 [428]

Answer:

See below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A:

For Dog walking, he earns $30 for 5 hours of work.

He earns $36 for 6 hours of work.

$30/5 hours = $6/hour

$36/6 hours = $6/hour

He earns $6/hour dog walking.

For 8 hours, he earns 8 hours * $6/hour = $48

To earn $66, he works 66/6 = 11 hours.

5 30

6 36

8 48

11 66

Part B:

He earns $7/hour for yard work, so multiply the number of hours by 7 to find the money he earns.

Table for yard work

Hours     Money

5             $35

6             $42

8             $56

Part C:

For 5 hours, he earns $35 for yard work and $30 as a dog walker.

$35 - $30 = $5

At leslie's school the ratio of boys and girls is 11 to 12 at marks school the ratio of boys girls is 41 to 48 if both schools h
Softa [21]

Answer: B. There are more boys at Mark's school than at Leslie's school because the ratio 41 to 48 is greater than the ratio 11 to 12.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here are the options:

A There are more boys at Mark's school than at Leslie's school because the ratio 11 to 12 is greater than the ratio 41 to 48.

B. There are more boys at Mark's school than at Leslie's school because the ratio 41 to 48 is greater than the ratio 11 to 12.

C. There are more boys at Leslie's school than at Mark's school because the ratio 41 to 48 is greater than the ratio 11 to 12.

At leslie's school the ratio of boys and girls is 11 to 12. This implies that the fraction of boys in the school to total students will be:

= 11/(11 + 12) = 11/23 = 0.4783

At Marks school the ratio of boys to girls is 41 to 48. Thus implies that the fraction of boys in the school to total students will be:

= 41 / (41 + 48) = 41/85= 0.4824

Based on the calculation, we can deduce that there are more boys at Mark's school than at Leslie's school because the ratio 41 to 48 is greater than the ratio 11 to 12.
