Answer:

20 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

We can work easier if we think in terms of an hour

the first equation that we can write is

A + B = 1/4 (its meaning is that in an hour A and B fill 1/4 of the cistern)

the second equation we can write is

A + C = 1/5 (its meaning is that in an hour A and C fill 1/5 of the cistern)

the third equation that we can write is

B = 2C  (its meaning is that in an hour B fill 2 times C the cistern)

now we can substitute the value of B in the first two equations

A + 2C = 1/4

A + C = 1/5

A = 1/5 - C

1/5 - C + 2C = 1/4

C = 1/4 -1/5

C = (5-4)/20

C = 1/20 (this means that in an hour C will fill 1/20 of the cistern, so it takes 20 hours to fill the entire cistern)

A = 1/5 - 1/20

A = (4-1)/20 = 3/20

B = 1/20 *2 = 1/10

Movies at the rental store are $3.75 each. Snacks and drinks are $1.89 each. Round each amount to the nearest dollar to estimate
hodyreva [135]

Answer:

$14.00

Step-by-step explanation:

First you round 3.75 to 4.00 because 7 is greater than 5 so it would turn the 3 to 4 than add the zeros it's 4.00. Second You multiply by three so 4.00 × 3 you will get 12.00. Than you round 1.89 to 2.00 because 8 is greater than 5 so it would turn to the 1 to the 2 than add the zeros it's 2.00. Finally you add them together and get $14.00

Milton makes trail mix for his hiking group he makes a 1 and 1/4 pound of peanuts 14 oz of raisins 12 oz of walnuts in 10 oz of
strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

Each hiker receives 7 ounces of trail mix

Step-by-step explanation:

Trail mix=quantity of peanuts+quantity of raisins+quantity of walnuts+quantity of chocolate chips

where;

Quantity of peanuts=1.25 pounds

Quantity of raisins=14 oz, since 1 pound=16 oz.

Quantity of raisins=(14/16)=0.875 pounds

Quantity of walnuts=12 oz=(12/16)=0.75 pounds

Quantity of chocolate chips=10 oz=(10/16)=0.625 pounds

Replacing;

Trail mix=(1.25+0.875+0.75+0.625)=3.5 pounds

Trail mix=Quantity per hiker×Number of hikers

where;

Trail mix=3.5 pounds

Quantity per hiker=q

Number of hikers=8

Replacing;

3.5=q×8

q=3.5/8=0.4375 pounds

I pound=16 ounces

q=0.4375×16=7 ounces

Each hiker receives 7 ounces of trail mix

Tia and her five friends are going to the ice skating rink. Each person $5 for admission and $5 for food. Write and evaluate a n
ozzi

Where C = Cost and P = People


C = 2(5p)


In the context of Tia and her five friends:


C = 2(5*6) = 2(30) = 60

C = 60


The cost for Tia and her five friends to be admitted to ice skate and eat is 60$, and the equation to calculate this is C = 2(5p).

Ms. Carr's Class Is Selling Magazines To Raise Money For A Field Trip. The Students In The Class Device They Wanted To Make 5.50
FinnZ [79.3K]

Here you are giving only the amount they want to raise (namely profit times number of magazines sold), and here you are also giving Money they want to raise... So clarifying, the money they want to raise, should include the money they will spend on buying the magazines (there is no statement saying they found them, or were given the magazines, so a cost should be involved) 

Now if they are only making the count of "Field trip costs X amount of money, and given we have to make a profit of $5.5, How many must we sell?" then the equation should be n=X/5.5 

Should the story be, how much money must they raise to have a profit of 5.5 on each magazine and still have enough for the field trip, then you have a different equation which varies only in adding the cost of each magazine, either case, M should be defined not as money they need to raise (cause here they will be short on their goal) but Money they must earn. And again, you should rewrite your equation to be: 

M=Amount they must raise 
C=Cost per magazine 
n=Number of magazines 
p=profit $5.5 per magazine 

C+p=M/n 

And rewriting the previous they should make: 

n(C+p)=M -----> n(C+5.5)=M <span>m/n = 5.50 </span>
<span>m/n x n = 5.50 x n //// multiply each side by n </span>

<span>m = 5.5n</span>
