Why did both of their names have to start with the same letter
x=jay hours
y=jamie huours
x=10+3y
x=43
so
43=10+3y
minus 10
33=3y
divide 3
11=y
jamies spent 11 hours
I'm not sure, but it's probably that Mary bakes faster than Sarah?
Answer:
14
Step-by-step explanation:
We can find the sum of these numbers by adding them together.
The cumulative rule of addition lets us add numbers together in any order we want.
So, for 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 …
2 + 3 = 5
So now we have 5 + 4 + 5
5 + 4 = 9
Now we have 9 + 5
And 9 + 5 = 14
So, your answer is 14
Hope this helps!
The way I like to figure out problems like this is to write it out like,
1/10 = x/6000
(One over ten equals x over 6000)
Then you find out how much you multiplied 10 by to get 6000. To do this you can divide 6000 by 10 getting 600. The rule "what you do to the bottom you have to do to top" in this equation. So since you multiplied the bottom by 600 you have to multiply the top by 600 as well. 600 times 1 is just 600.
So your answer is, 600 is 1/10 of 6000.
Hope this helps and isn't too confusing.
Parallelogram area = base * height
240 = base * 20
base = 240 / 20
base = 12 cm
