3 0

Answer:

The amount of pages that remain to be read is <u>150 pages</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Okay if we know it's in 7:3 ratio we can easily add them both to get 10, then divide 10 by 500 to get 50. SO we now know that 50 is 1 unit and since the ratio says 3 units is the answer, we multiply 50 by 3 to get 150.

Steve and Ben have some money in their wallets. If Steve gives Ben $3, Ben will have twice as much as Steve. If Ben gives Steve

Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

Money owned by Steve = $11

Money owned by Ben = $13

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x denotes the money owned by Steve and y denotes the money owned by Ben.

Then, Steve gives $3 to Ben

Money left with Steve = x-3 and Ben = y+3

Now, Ben will have twice as much as Steve.

⇒ y+3 = 2(x-3) .............(1)

If Ben gives Steve $7

Money left with Steve = x+7 and Ben = y-7

Then, the amount Ben has will be one-third that of Steve’s.

⇒ y-7 = $\frac{1}{3}$ (x+7) ..........(2)

Solving equation (1) and (2) by elimination method, we get

x = 11 and y = 13

⇒ Money owned by Steve = $11

Money owned by Ben = $13

Bertha buys electricity from a company that offers a choice of two tariffs. Both have a daily charge of $0.20 regardless of how

Alenkasestr [34]

Answer: D ( 17/20)

Step-by-step explanation:

The two choices are:

The ‘standard’ tariff charges = $0.10 per unit

The ‘day/night tariff’ = $0.12 per unit for each unit consumed between 06:00 and 22:00 but only $0.05 for each unit consumed between 22:00 and 06:00

The day time is between 22:00 and 06:00

Time = 22 - 6 = 16 hours

Let assume that the charges are unit per hour.

For standard tariff = (16 × 0.10) + 0.2

Standard tariff = 1.6 + 0.2 = 1.8

For day/night = (16 × 0.12) + 0.2

= 1.92 + 0.2

= 2.12

The proportion will be

1.8/2.12 = 17/20 ( approximately)

1/7 + 6/7 equals1/7 + 6/7 equals

Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

7/7 = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

1/7 is one out of seven part plus 6/7 which is 6 out of seven parts. The denominator does not need to change because it is a common denominator. Just simply add the numerators, 1 and 6 and you get 7. The numerator is divided by the denominator (7/7) which equals to 1.
