Answer: Jarrah has to rake 25 bags.

Step-by-step explanation: Jarrah

Jarrah needs to get $159 dollars, right? Well since he already has $38, we just need to subtract 159 and 38. 159-38 is 121. (121 is how much heneeds )Each bag raked costs $5, and 5 can't go into 121, so it's best to have more than less. Multiply 5 and 25, and you will get $125. That is more than enough, you cannot do 5x24 because it would be 120, which is too low. Therefore, Jarrah needs to rake 25 bags.

Sveta_85 [38]

Ok, so based on a survey - you know that out of 30 students, 11 said that their favourite subject is mathematics. :-)

This means that:

11/30 of these students think mathematics if their favourite subject.

Now, in order to answer your question, we are going to have to change the denominator of the fraction above to 1000. Whatever we do to the denominator of this fraction, we must do to the numerator of this fraction.

Example:

$\frac { 11 }{ 30 } \times \frac { \frac { 1000 }{ 30 } }{ \frac { 1000 }{ 30 } } \\ \\ =\frac { \frac { 11000 }{ 30 } }{ 1000 } \\ \\ =\frac { 366.\dot { 6 } }{ 1000 }$

This means that rounded to the nearest ten, theoretically speaking, 370 students out of 1000 would say that mathematics is their favourite subject.

allsm [11]

We know that
if <span>Allison can complete a sales route by herself in 6 hours
then
100% of the sales route---------------> 6 hours
x%--------------------------> 1 hour
x=100/6-----> x=16.67%/hour

Allison </span><span>working with an associate, she completes the route in 4 hours
</span>then
100%------------------> 4 hours
x%----------------> 1 hour
x=100/4-----> x=25%

An associate in 1 hour complete-------> 25%-16.67%----> 8.33%
then
an associate complete in 1 hour--------> 8.33%
x hour--------------------------> 100%
x=100/8.33-----> x=12 hours

the answer is
12 hours
