Each complete cleaning requires 6 drops of cleaner. Let's convert that to ml:
6 drops 1 ml 3 ml cleaner
----------- * ------------- = ------------------- = 0.3 ml cleaner per cleaning
20 drops 10 cleanings
Recall that 1 bottle contains 30 ml cleaning fluid.
How many cleanings is one bottle of fluid good for?
1 bottle 0.3 ml
----------- = ----------- => x = 100 cleanings/bottle
x 30 ml
Answer:
a=2.48
c=9.52
Step-by-step explanation:
a+c=12
4a+7.5c=72.5 Given
a+c=12
-4a-7.5c=-72.5 multiply the equation by negative 1
-3a-6.5c=-60.5 simplify
-3a=-60.5+6.5c add 6.5c to both sides
a=-20.17+2.17c divide it by 3
now you would take that equation and plug it into an equation you already have since you have something to plug in for a, the easiest one to do is a+c=12
(-20.17+2.17c)+c=12 plug in the equation
-20.17+3.17c=12 simplify by solving for c
3.17c=30.17 add 20.17 to both sides
c=9.52 divide both sides by 3.17
now since you have found c, you can plug it in to you equation to solve for a now (use the ones from the second step). I am using the equation a+c=12.
a+9.52=12 plug in the variable and solve for a
a=2.48 subtract 9.52 to both sides
a=2.48
c=9.52
Answer:
377/3
Step-by-step explanation:
In general if we have a fraction ( mixed) as ,
Then the improper fraction will be ,
<u>Improper</u><u> fraction</u><u> </u><u>:</u><u>-</u><u> </u>
Using this concept we have ,
→ 125 ⅔
→ 125 × 3 + 2 / 3
→ 375 + 2/3
→ 377/3
<h3>
Hence the simplified form of the expression is 377/3 .</h3>
Assuming the man works 8 hours straight without breaks:
25% is the same as 1/4 of something.
So, we just have to figure out what 1/4 (one quarter) of 8 equals.
You can think of it as a pizza cut into 8 slices. One slice is equivalent to one hour for the patrolman.
If we take away 1/2 (half) of the pizza, we have 4 slices, right? Since we start with 8 slices, half of that equals 4 slices. In other words, 50% (half) of the pizza = 4 slices.
Now, 25% (one quarter) of the pizza will equal half of what is left:
If we know that 50%=4 slices (or 4 hours), then 25% must be 2 slices (or 2 hours).
That's it! 25% of 8 hours = 2 hours.
***So, the patrolman spends 2 hours each day completing paperwork.***
Lets check our work:
We know 8 hours (or 8 slices)= 100%
(We know this because
8 slices = 1 whole pizza, or 100% of a pizza. Similarly,
8 hours = 1 whole shift or 100% of the man's shift ).
So
25% + 25% + 25% + 25% = 100%
If 100% of the mans shift = 8 hours:
2+2+2+2 = 8
It checks out!
Hope this helps!
