Answer: 6 apples</h3>
x = number of apples originally
50% of x = 0.50*x = amount of apples eaten = 3
0.50x = 3
x = 3/0.50 ....... divide both sides by 0.50
x = 6
You can think of 50% as 1/2. If 3 apples represent half the bag, then the full bag is 6 apples. So half of 6 is 3.
Answer:they would pay a total amount of $9
Step-by-step explanation:
Scott and Tom rent a boat at Stow Lake. They start at 10:15 and end at 11:45. The number of hours for which they rented the boat would be
11:45 - 10:15 = 1 hour 30 minutes = 1.5 hours.
Converting to minutes, It becomes
60 + 30 = 90 minutes.
The boat rental costs $1.50 for every 15 minutes. Therefore, the total amount of money that they would pay is
90/15 × 1.5 = $9
$97.20 divided by $9.25 is 10 hours
For #2, the proportion would be .40/.25 and x/15, then you would cross multiply to find x. and for #3 the proportion would be 15/6 and 75/x and again you would cross multiply to find x. (:
