2/5 are girls, therefore 3/5 are boys
3/5 = 24
1/5 = 24 ÷ 3 = 8
2/5 = 8 x 2 = 16
Altogether = 16 + 24 = 40
24 - 1 6 = 8
There are 40 children altogether
There are 8 more boys than girls.
Answer: the rate of speed for train A is 66 miles per hour.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the speed of train B.
2 trains leave the station at the same time. Train A is traveling 16 miles per hour slower than train B. This means that the speed of train A would be x - 16 miles per hour.
The two trains are 720 miles apart after 4 hours. It means that both trains traveled a total distance of 720 miles in 4 hours.
Distance = speed × time
Distance travelled by train A after 4 hours is
4(x - 16) = 4x - 64
Distance travelled by train B after 4 hours is
4 × x = 4x
Since the total distance travelled by both trains is 720 miles, then
4x - 64 + 4x = 720
8x = 720 - 64 = 656
x = 656/8 = 82 miles per hour
The speed of train A would be
82 - 16 = 66 miles per hour.
Answer:
More information is needed, maximum weekly profit is $1750.
Step-by-step explanation:
The maximum profit would assume Burger King does not sell any burgers on Friday, therefore all 500 burgers were sold at $3.50. 500*$3.50 = $1750 in maximum earnings for the week. More information is needed about the split between the burgers sold over the week.
Maybe the question was trying to say 500 burgers were sold on Friday. In that case, assuming every customer got three burgers, 500/3 = 166.6 customers, rounding down because you cannot have half a customer, 166 customers on Friday. Each customer paid for two burgers 166*2*$3.50 = $1162 in earnings on Friday.
