Assuming the man works 8 hours straight without breaks:
25% is the same as 1/4 of something.
So, we just have to figure out what 1/4 (one quarter) of 8 equals.
You can think of it as a pizza cut into 8 slices. One slice is equivalent to one hour for the patrolman.
If we take away 1/2 (half) of the pizza, we have 4 slices, right? Since we start with 8 slices, half of that equals 4 slices. In other words, 50% (half) of the pizza = 4 slices.
Now, 25% (one quarter) of the pizza will equal half of what is left:
If we know that 50%=4 slices (or 4 hours), then 25% must be 2 slices (or 2 hours).
That's it! 25% of 8 hours = 2 hours.
***So, the patrolman spends 2 hours each day completing paperwork.***
Lets check our work:
We know 8 hours (or 8 slices)= 100%
(We know this because
8 slices = 1 whole pizza, or 100% of a pizza. Similarly,
8 hours = 1 whole shift or 100% of the man's shift ).
So
25% + 25% + 25% + 25% = 100%
If 100% of the mans shift = 8 hours:
2+2+2+2 = 8
It checks out!
Hope this helps!
Answer:
p+q = 38/15
Step-by-step explanation:
2/3+p = 1. p = 1 - 2/3
4/5 + q = 3. q = 3 - 4/5
p + q = 1 - 2/3 + 3 - 4/5
-2/3 - 4/5 (common denominator = 15)
4 - 10/15 - 12/15 = 4 - 22/15
4 - 22/15 = (4*15 - 22)/15
= 38/15
Answer:
D.
Step-by-step explanation:
The slopes of perpendicular lines are negative reciprocals. That means that their product is -1.
In option D, since the slopes are 1 and -1, their product is -1, and the lines are perpendicular.
Answer: D.
