Answer:
297 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
cost = 0.78 cents per mile + base fee
y = 0.78x + 15.88
247.65 = 0.78x + 15.88
subtract 15.88 from both sides
231.77 = 0.78x
divide by 0.78 on both sides
x = 297.14120256
297 miles
Y= 15
x-y = 30
x-15= 30
x = 30+15
x = 45
Therefore, the value of x is 45
Answer:
the answer is 7.2
Step-by-step explanation:
because 1 times 9 divided by 5 times 4 = 7.2 on the calculator
It would be 62,390. because 4 is less than 5 so 4 rounds down to 0 (The nearest tenth)
Hope this helps! :D
<h3>
Answer: 60 teachers</h3>
=========================================================
Explanation:
There are 500 female students and the ratio of boys to girls is 2:5
Multiply both parts of that ratio by 100 so that the "5" turns into "500"
The ratio 2:5 turns into 200:500 showing that for every 200 male students there are 500 female students. There are 200+500 = 700 students total.
Because of this 700 figure, we'll need to multiply both parts of the ratio 3:35 by 20 so that the 35 becomes 700.
The ratio 3:35 turns into 60:700. For every 60 teachers, there are 700 students.
----------------------
Another way to solve:
The ratio of boys to girls is 2:5 which we can write as 2/5
x = number of boys
2/5 = x/500
2*500 = 5x
1000 = 5x
5x = 1000
x = 1000/5
x = 200
There are 200 boys and 500 girls, so 200+500 = 700 total.
y = number of teachers
3/35 = y/700
3*700 = 35y
2100 = 35y
35y = 2100
y = 2100/35
y = 60
There are 60 teachers
