Given that a company budgeted 5 1/4 hours to complete a project, determine how much time they spent on research if they spent 1/3 of the total budget.
First, convert the budget from hours into minutes.
5 1/4 hours = 315 minutes
1 hour = 60 min
1/4 hour = 15 min
60 x 5 = 300
300 + 15 = 315
Then, divide the minutes by 3 or multiply it by 1/3.
315 / 3 = 105
315 x 1/3 = 105
Lastly convert to a mixed number.
1 3/4 hour
Thus, the company plans to spend 1 3/4 hours or 1 hour and 45 minutes on research.
Answer:
x = $5.49 cost of the bananas
Step-by-step explanation:
x = cost of the bananas
$3.89 = cost of the peanut butter
$ 9.38 is the cost of both
Bananas + peanut butter = $9.38
x + $3.89 = $9.38
<u> - $ 3.89 = -$3.89 </u> Subtract $3.89 from both sides
x = $5.49
