Answer:
34 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Required
Number of minutes left to spend (x)
Since there's only 1 minute left to spend on every other call;
Time left = x * 1
Time left = x
The required can further be calculated using:
This gives:
Subtract 6 from both sides
<em>Hence, there are 34 minutes left to spend</em>
Answer: 
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Let a and b be the respective rates in bricks per minute for Alex and Bob separately.
Alex lays 4 bricks per minute more than Bob
a = b + 4
Working together, their rates scale by 3/4 and they achieve 15 bricks per minutes.
(3/4)(a + b) = 15
Two equations, two unknowns, we solve:
b = a - 4
(3/4)(a + a - 4) = 15
2a - 4 = (4/3) 15 = 20
2a = 24
a = 12
b = a - 4 = 8
Answer: Alex alone does 12 bricks per minute, Bob alone 8 bricks per minute
Check: a=b+4, good
(3/4)(12 +8)=(3/4)(20)=15, good
Answer:
30.85
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Put the 12.34 on top to make things simpler
then just multiply each number as if the decimals weren't there to begin with.
Your answer should look way too big, but when you finish multiplying count how many decimal places were in the two numbers, for this it would be 3 since there is a 5, 3, and 4 behind the decimal places.
You have to count 3 decimal places in your final answer to get the right solution! Any 0's trailing behind can be removed as well.
Hope this helps!!!
