1*106=106
5*10-5=495
495/106≈ 4.67
Answer:
67.8 days
Step-by-step explanation:
We assume the problem statement is supposed to read ...
Jazz and Corbin can eat 50 pounds of peanuts in 30 days. Jazz by himself eats 50 pounds of peanuts in two weeks less time than Corbin does by himself. How many days will it take for Corbin to eat the 50 pounds of peanuts by himself?
__
Let c represent the number of days it takes Corbin to eat 50 lbs of peanuts. Then c - 14 will be the number of days it takes Jazz to eat 50 lbs of peanuts. Working together, they eat 50 lbs of peanuts in 30 days, so ...
Jazz's peanuts per day + Corbin's peanuts per day = total peanuts per day
50/c + 50/(c-14) = 50/30
Multiplying by (3/5)c(c-14), we get ...
30(c -14) + 30c = c(c -14)
Subtracting the left side gives ...
c^2 -14c -60c +420 = 0
c^2 -74c +1369 = 1369 -420 . . . . subtract 420, add 1369 to complete the square
(c -37)^2 = 949 . . . . . . . . . write more compactly
c = 37 +√949 ≈ 67.8 . . . . square root and add 37
It will take 67.8 days for Corbin to eat 50 lbs of peanuts by himself.
If the rate is 60 pounds for $6.60 and we need to convert it to a unit rate per ounce, you will think of it as $6.60 for 60 pounds instead.
Divide to get a unit rate per pound.
$0.11 per pound
To convert this to an amount per ounce Change the rate to say $0.11 per 16 ounces(this means the same).
Divide 0.11 by 16 to get 0.006875 or $0.007 or 0.7 cents per ounce. Choice D but it should say per ounce, not per pound.
Answer: 4 pounds > 60 ounces (D)
Step-by-step explanation:
Since there are 16 ounces in a pound, you just multiply 16 (ounces) by 4 (pounds). If you evaluate 16*4, you would get 64 ounces, so 64 is greater than 60. So the answer is D.
