Solved the inequality correctly and graphed their solution correctly.
=2/3 x 4 1/5
Change 4 1/5 to improper fraction
=2/3 x 21/5
Multiply the two numerators together and multiply the two denominators together
= (2*21)/(3*5)
=42/15
Convert back to mixed fraction
= 2 12/15
Simplify by dividing 3 into top & bottom
ANSWER:
= 2 4/5 simplest mixed fraction
Hope this helps! :)
Answer:
i think thats good but for me umm so good hehe
You have two unknown rates, so we need to develop two equations to solve for these unknowns (based on the information given on the problem statement):
5x + 10y = 725
x + y = 100
By substitution, we get:
5x + 10(100 - x) = 725
5x + 1000 - 10x = 725
-5x = 725 - 1000
-5x = -275
x = -275/-5 = 55
100 - 55 = 45
Thus:
The mechanic who worked for 5 hours charged his time at $55/hr, and the mechanic who worked for 10 hours charged his time at $45/hr.
To verify, plug and chug the results back into the original equations:
5(55) + 10(45) = 725
275 + 450 = 725
725 = 725 [OK]
55 + 45 = 100 [OK]
