Answer:

Sarah would take 35 minutes longer than Leo to type 5500 word essay

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us solve the question

∵ It took Leo 3 hours to type a 4125-word essay

→ The rate is the number of words divided by the time

∴ Leo's rate = 4125 ÷ 3 = 1375 words/hour

∵ Sarah typed her 3800-word essay in 3 hours and 10 minutes

→ Change the 10 min to the hour by divide it by 60

∵ 3 hours 10 min = 3 + \frac{10}{60} = 3 + \frac{1}{6}  = 3\frac{1}{6} hours

∴ Sarah's rate = 3800 ÷ 3\frac{1}{6}  = 1200 words/hour

∵ Leo will type a 5500-word essay

→ Divide it by his rate to find the time taken

∴ Leo takes = 5500 ÷ 1375 = 4 hours

∵ Sarah will type a 5500-word essay

→ Divide it by her rate to find the time taken

∴ Sarah takes = 5500 ÷ 1200 = 4\frac{7}{12} hours

→ Find the difference between their times

∵ The difference = 4\frac{7}{12} - 4 = \frac{7}{12} hour

→ Multiply it by 60 to change to minutes

∴ The difference = \frac{7}{12} × 60 = 35 minutes

∴ Sarah would take 35 minutes longer than Leo to type 5500 word essay

Laura made 45 hats. Laura made 5 times as many hats as Carlos, Let h be the number of hats that Carlos made.
Anestetic [448]

45 = 5h. To find h, divide each side by 5.

9 = h. To ensure we have the correct answer, plug 9 into our original equation.

45 = 5(9)

45 = 45

Carlos made 9 hats.

djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

16,000

Step-by-step explanation:

to round to the nearest thousand you must look at the thousands place and then look to the number next to it

if the number is 0 1 2 3 or 4 the thousands place stays the same

if the number is 5 6 7 8 or 9 the thousands place goes up one

in this case it is 0

so it stays the same

3 kg = 3000 g.

9 kg = 9000 g.

9000 - 3000 = 6000 g.

Angie's puppy gained 6000 g (6 kg.)
