4/5 is the the fraction of a pound is eighty pence
Assuming the man works 8 hours straight without breaks:
25% is the same as 1/4 of something.
So, we just have to figure out what 1/4 (one quarter) of 8 equals.
You can think of it as a pizza cut into 8 slices. One slice is equivalent to one hour for the patrolman.
If we take away 1/2 (half) of the pizza, we have 4 slices, right? Since we start with 8 slices, half of that equals 4 slices. In other words, 50% (half) of the pizza = 4 slices.
Now, 25% (one quarter) of the pizza will equal half of what is left:
If we know that 50%=4 slices (or 4 hours), then 25% must be 2 slices (or 2 hours).
That's it! 25% of 8 hours = 2 hours.
***So, the patrolman spends 2 hours each day completing paperwork.***
Lets check our work:
We know 8 hours (or 8 slices)= 100%
(We know this because
8 slices = 1 whole pizza, or 100% of a pizza. Similarly,
8 hours = 1 whole shift or 100% of the man's shift ).
So
25% + 25% + 25% + 25% = 100%
If 100% of the mans shift = 8 hours:
2+2+2+2 = 8
It checks out!

Um.. Both of those equations are the exact same. Divide both sides of the first equation by 6. You get:
That is the exact same as the second equation. This system has an infinite number of solutions. 5x - 7y = -1 is a line, so basically every point on that line is a solution to the system.
For example,
and
would work, but so would
and
Base on the question and the given coordinates, I would say that the ordered pair among the choices that has a value of 7 in the x coordinate is (7,10). I hope you are satisfied with my answer and feel free to ask for more if you have questions and further clarification about the said question
Answer:
No
Step-by-step explanation:
5(-3)= -15
5(1)= 5
-15+5=-10
-10 is greater than -19 not less than or equal too.
Hope this helps!
