Answer:

1/10

Step-by-step explanation:

A number line is a line which contains numbers marked at intervals (usually regular intervals). Points to the right of the origin are positive numbers while those to the left are negative numbers.

The school is used as the origin. Ellie house is 1 and three fifths blocks east (to the right) of the school. This means that it is + 1 and three fifths (+8/5).

Chase house is 1 and one half blocks (3/2) west of Ellie. Since it is west then it is to the left. Hence the coordinate of chase house = 8/5 - 3/2 = 1/10

Hence the coordinate of chase house is 1/10(one tenths).

The error may be as a result of thinking chase house is to the east of Ellie, hence adding to get  3 and one tenth.

Need help with this two step equation
bezimeni [28]

well, do a payments table of values, just like before for each mont hmm let's see

1st month.......................3500 + p(1)

2nd month....................3500 + p(2)

3rd month.....................3500 + p(3)

4th month.....................3500 + p(4)

5th month.....................3500 + p(5)

36th month..................3500 + p(36)

\bf \stackrel{\textit{total value}}{17900}=\stackrel{\textit{down payment}}{3500}+\stackrel{\stackrel{\textit{payments for}}{\textit{36 months}}}{36p} \\\\\\ 14400=36p\implies \cfrac{14400}{36}=p\implies 400=p

Anna buys 12 pens and 20 pencils for a total cost of $16. One pen costs $0.40 more than a pencil. What would one pencil and one
vladimir2022 [97]

It is given in the question that

Anna buys 12 pens and 20 pencils for a total cost of $16. One pen costs $0.40 more than a pencil.

Let the cost of pencil is $ x .

Therefore cost of pen is

$(x+0.40)

According to the question

12(x+0.40)+20x =16

Distributing 12 and combining like terms, we will get

12x+4.8+20x=16\\32x = 11.2\\x = 0.35

Therefore cost of pencil is $0.35 and cost of pen is

0.35+0.40=0.75
