50% of the fruits are apples

That would be:

6/12 x 100
= 50%

Therefore 50% of the fruits are apples.

Martin uses 5/8 of a gallon of paint to cover 4/5 of a wall. What is the unit rate at which Martin paints in walls per gallon?

Reika [66]

You can easily solve this by setting up a proportion with walls on the top and paint on the bottom. First we can find the decimal equivalent of each of those fractions to make things easier. 5/8 = .625 and 4/5 = .8. $\frac{w}{p} : \frac{.8}{.625}= \frac{x}{1}$ . What this is asking is "if 4/5 (.8) of a wall is covered by 5/8 (.625) of a gallon of paint, how many walls (x) will 1 gallon of paint cover?" If we cross multiply we have .625x = .8 and x = 1.28 which is the same as 1 7/25 walls/1 gallon, choice C.

A computer technician charges $40.00 per hour plus $65.00 service charge. The computer technician spends h hours to complete the

Vaselesa [24]

You know that the computer technician has a flat 65 dollar service charge. This will be added to the hours worked.

hours= h

40 dollars per hour. So, every hour worked is worth 40 dollars.

c(h)= 40h+65

If you input the number of hours he worked as h, you would have the total amount of money he made if you solved the expression.

I hope this helps!

A system of equations is shown.<br><br> 0.6d+0.05e=-4.5<br> -0.12d+0.3e=2.76 <br><br> d=<br> e=

Drupady [299]

I would multiply to get rid of the decimals and work with whole numbers.
Since we have numbers that are "hundredths", we would need to multiply every number by 100.
60d + 5e = -450
-12d + 30e = 276 Now that the decimals are gone, if we multiply the second equation by 5 the "d's" will cancel.
60d + 5e = -450
-60d + 150e = 1380
155e = 930
e = 6
Now plug 6 back in for e and solve for d.
60d + 5(6) = -450
60d + 30 = -450
60d = -480
d = -8
(-8, 6)
If you'd rather work it with decimals just let me know.

A sequence is defined by an = -5+ (n - 1) 14, where n is a positive integer. What is the value of 410?

Jobisdone [24]

The sequence an = -5 + (n - 1)14 is an arithmetic sequence

The value of a10 is 121

<h3>How to determine the the a10-th term?</h3>

The sequence is given as:

an = -5 + (n - 1)14

To calculate the value of a10, we set n = 10

So, we have:

a10 = -5 + (10 - 1) * 14

Evaluate the difference

a10 = -5 + 9 * 14

Evaluate the product

a10 = -5 + 126

Evaluate the sum

a10 = 121

Hence, the value of a10 is 121
