Answer:

\#\text{ of 8-onion bags: }4,\\\#\text{ of 3-onion bags: }3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a be the number of bags with 8 onions and let b be the number of bags with 3 onions. We have the following system of equations:

\begin{cases}a+b=7,\\8a+3b=41\end{cases}

Subtracting b from both sides of the first equation, we get a=7-b. Substitute this into the second equation:

8(7-b)+3b=41,\\56-8b+3b=41,\\56-5b=41,\\-5b=-15,\\b=\boxed{3}

Therefore, the number of 8-onion bags is:

a=7-b,\\a=7-3,\\a=\boxed{4}

Thus, the chef got 4 8-onion bags and 3 3-onion bags.

11111nata11111 [884]

10 because you know that the decimal moves one to the left if you are dividing by ten and one to the right if you are multiplying by ten.

Check your work. 0.32 divided by 10 is 0.032

Deisha can build a fence in 15 hours, and Travis can build a fence in 12 hours. How long will it take them together to build a f
Basile [38]

Answer:

6\frac{2}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

Deisha's build rate = 1 fence per 15 hours = 1/15 fences per hour

Travis's build rate = 1 fence per 12 hours = 1/12 fences per hour

Working together, their combined rate is 1/15 + 1/12 = 3/20 fences per hour

So it takes them 20/3 = 6 2/3 hours per fence
