Fractions are the part/whole. We can set this up to be...
3/5 = 756
756 x5/3 = 1260.
if she had 1260 to begin with and spent 756, she would have 504.00 left.
Answer:
Part 1) Helen's age is 32 years old and Jane's age is 24 years old
Part 2) 13 twenty-dollar bills
Step-by-step explanation:
Part 1) Helen is 8 years older than Jane. Twenty years ago Helen was three times as old as Jane. How old is each now and what is the equation?
Let
x----> Helen's age
y---> Jane's age
we know that
x=y+8 ----> equation A
(x-20)=3(y-20) -----> equation B
substitute equation A in equation B and solve for y
(y+8-20)=3(y-20)
y-12=3y-60
3y-y=60-12
2y=48
y=24 years
Find the value of x
x=y+8
x=24+8=32 years
Part 2)
Let
x-----> the number of five-dollar bills
y----> the number of twenty-dollar bills
we know that
5x+20y=305 -----> equation A
y=x+4 ------> x=y-4 ------> equation B
substitute equation B in equation A and solve for y
5(y-4)+20y=305
5y-20+20y=305
25y=325
y=13 twenty-dollar bills
Find the value of x
x=y-4
x=13-4=9 five-dollar bills

Answer:
41
Step-by-step explanation:
once you put the numbers in numerical order, 11 30 41 62 99, the median (middle number) is 41
Answer:
a = 64
Step-by-step explanation:
The geometric mean of 2 numbers a and b is 
, then
= 16
( square both sides )
28a = (16 )² = 1792 ( divide both sides by 28 )
a = 64
