Set up two equations:
1st: P (for Price family) + J (for Jenkins family) = 45 hours
2nd: 20P + 35J = 1200 liters
Rewrite the first equation as P = 45 – J
Replace P in the second equation:
20(45-J) + 35J = 1200
Simplify:
900 -20J + 35J = 1200
900 +15J = 1200
Subtract 900 from both sides:
15J = 300
Divide both sides by 15:
J = 300/15
J = 20
Jenkins used theirs for 20 hours
Price used theirs for 45-20 = 25 hours.
Answer:
From his starting point of 85 3/4, he descended 17 9/20 meters
Step-by-step explanation:
We want to know how much farther he went down from his starting point.
103 1/5 - 85 3/4
S
tart off by making the denominators of both the numbers the same.
103 1/5 - 85 3/4
103 4/20 - 85 15/20
Make them into improper fractions
2064/20 - 1715/20 = 349/20
Make 349/20 into a mixed fraction
17 9/20

The answer to this question is 48.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Remember when you divide fractions, you need to get the reciprocal of the divisor and multiply. So your first simplification would be:
Next we factor what we can so we can further simplify the rest of the equation:
We can now cancel out (x+2)
Next we factor out even more:
We cancel out x-4 and reduce the 3 and 6 into simpler terms:
And we can now simplify it to:
