You need to know the length of two sides and the degree of one angle.
Answer:
A) 4
Step-by-step explanation:
There are a couple of ways to get this but this is how I did it:
1. Multiply the second equation by 1/4 to get the same fraction for y as the one in the first equation
1/4 x + 1/8 y = 2
1/4 (1/3 x + 1/2 y = 4)
1/12 x + 1/8 y = 1
2. Subtract the first equation from the new equation
1/12 x + 1/8 y = 1
<u> - 1/4 x - 1/8 y = -2</u>
-1/6 x= -1
3. Divide both sides by -1/6
<u>-1/6</u> x= <u>-1</u>
-1/6 -1/6
x = 6
4. Substitute 4 in for x in the original equation:
1/4 (6) + 1/8y = 2
6/4 + 1/8y = 2
1/8y = 1/2
y = 4
As you are looking for 1.75 minutes (or 105 seconds), the best thing to do is to find how many words she can type in 0.25 minutes (this is a quarter, and you can divide 1.75 by this). To find a quarter, you have to divide by 4, 120/4= 30. Therefore, every 15 seconds, Dorothy can type 30 words. As you've got 105 seconds, divide this by 15, and this gives you 7. Then multiply 30 by 7, and this gives you 210.
Dorothy can type 210 words in 1.75 minutes
Hope this helps :)
For the addition problem 1/4 would turn into 2/8 and the 3/8 would stay the same therefore it would be 2/8 + 3/8 =5/8. Then for the subtraction problem 1/4 would turn into 2/8 and 3/8 would stay the same therefore it would be 2/8 - 3/8 =1/8
