Answer:

7/60

Step-by-step explanation:

Because the question is phrased such that it asks "the ratio of time with father <em>to...."</em>, we know to put the time with father on top, or first. Similarly, since it is asked to put the ratio of time with the father to the time in daycare, we can put the daycare amount second/on the bottom. Therefore, we can write the ratio as

(42 minutes)/(6 hours)

To make both of these in terms of minutes to simplify it, we know that 60 minutes = 1 hour, so 1 hour / 60 minutes =1 . Since multiplying something by 1 keeps it the same, we can multiply our ratio by this amount. We want to multiply with the hour on top so the hours cancel out, as so:

\frac{42 minutes}{6 hours} * \frac{1 hour}{60 minutes}  = \frac{42 minutes * hours}{360 minutes * hours} = \frac{42}{360}

To simplify this even further, we can note that 6 is a factor of both 42 and 360*, so we can multiply this fraction by (1/6) / (1/6) to get

(42/360) * (1/6)/(1/6) = 7/60 as our final answer

If this doesn't come up immediately, you can always find the greatest common factor by listing the factors of each number and finding the highest one that fits both, e.g.

for 42: 42, 21, 14, 7 , 6...

for 360: 360,180, ... 6,5....

Madison has set up a lemonade stand outside her house and sells small cups and large cups of lemonade. Each small cup holds 12 o
Troyanec [42]

Answer:

12x+22(y+10)=1240, y=x

small cups=30

large cups=40

Step-by-step explanation:

let x be the number of small cups and y the number of large cups.

-Given that 10 more cups than small cups of lemonade were sold:

12x+22(y+10)=1240

#Before the 10 more were sold, the number of x and y sold were equal>

x=y\\\\\therefore 12x+22(x+10)=1240\\\\12x+22x+220=1240\\\\34x=1240-220\\\\34x=1020\\\\x=30

The number of small cups sold was 30

#Since, the number of large cups was 10 more, y=x+10=30+10=40

When n = 1, 2(1) + 1 = 3

When n = 2, 2(2) + 1 = 5

When n = 3, 2(3) + 1 = 7

When n = 4, 2(4) + 1 = 9

When n = 5, 2(5) + 1 = 11

Sum = 3 + 5 + 7 + 9 + 11 = 35
