55/6.21 = x/1....55 mins to 6.21 miles = x min to 1 mile
cross multiply
6.21x = 55
x = 55/6.21
x = 8.86 minutes
So to start this question you find the prices of the two types of cups and create a basic formula for them. For the mug it would have a base price of $2.95 and a refill price of $0.50. For the disposable cup it would cost $0.85 a piece.
So for the mug you would take the base price of 2.95 and add it by x amount of refills to find the break even point of the two. So the formula would look like 2.95+0.50x. The other would be 0.85x. Now its just a matter of guess and check to see how many refills it would take for the mug to be cheaper. i hope this helped!
Answer:
lol is this a test? are u cheating!!!!???
Step-by-step explanation:
let the greatest number be a and remainder be x. And let the whole number result of the division be b, c and d. So we have
ab + x = 2447............(1)
ac + x = 3118...............(2)
ad + x = 6168.............(3)
Subtracting (2) - (1) gives:-
ac - ab = 671
a(c - b) =671
Now 671 = 61 * 11 so 61 could be the value of a
Checking:- 2447 / 61 = 40 remainder 7 , 3118 / 61 = 51 remainder 7
and 6168 / 61 = 101 remainder 7
Answer 61
