The rate Ritz can eat apples is 8/15 apples per minute.

Set the rate (which is measured apples / minutes) equal to 16 apples / t minutes.

(8/15) = (16/t)

Cross multiply.

16*15 = 8t

t = 20

The answer is 30 minutes. You could solve the problem with basic reasoning as well. 16 is twice the number of apples as 8, so the time it takes to eat them will be double 15 minutes.

Answer:

-4(-7/30)-3/5=1/3  

4(-1/15)+3/5=1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

1. -4x-3/5=1/3

-4x=1/3+3/5

-4x=14/15 <- divide both sides

x= -7/30

2. 4x+3/5=1/3

4x=1/3-3/5

4x= -4/15 <-divide both sides

x= -1/15

The cost of a car rental is twenty-five dollars a day plus ten cents a mile. What is the total cost, in dollars, if the car is r
Fudgin [204]

Answer:

The total cost is D) $141

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve we can use the equation: y=25d+0.10m

d= number of days  m= number of miles

We know both of these values so we can plug them in and solve.

y= 25(3) + 0.10(660)

y= 75 + 66

y = 141

Jared has 12 more comic books than Zoe. If they have 28 comic books
ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:

20 comic books

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us first <u>set up a variable</u>, x, for the number of books that Zoe has. If Jared has 12 more comics than Zoe, he would have x+12 books.

Given that Zoe and Jared have a total of 28 comic books, let us write an <u>equation</u> and solve for x:

x+x+12=28\\2x+12=28

Now that we have a <u>simplified</u> version of the equation, let us solve for x by <u>isolating the variable</u> on the left side:

2x=28-12\\2x=16\\x=8

We now know that x=8, and also that Jared has x+12 books. To find the number of comic books Jared has, let us <u>add</u> 12 to x:

x+12=\\8+12=\\20\\

Therefore, Jared has 20 comic books.

<em>I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any further questions :)</em>
