Ritz can eat 8 apples in 15 minutes. How long does it take Ritz to eat 16 apples at the same rate?

1 answer:

5 0

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.

kupik [55]

Answer:

Dec 10

Step-by-step explanation:

0.25 liter = 250 ml

4 ml * 3 = 12 ml

250/12 = 20.83 days

Nov 20 - Nov 30: 11 days

Dec 1 - Dec 9: 9 days

On December 9, she can still take her 3 doses.

By December 9, she will have taken 12 ml per day for 20 days for a total of 240 ml. She has 10 ml left for Dec 10th.

On Dec 10, she will take 2 doses of 4 ml and 1 dose of 2 ml, and she will finish the medicine.

What is the solution to the rational equation x over 2x plus 1 minus 1 over 4 equals 2 over 2x plus 1

aalyn [17]

We want to solve
$\frac{x}{2x+1} - \frac{1}{4} = \frac{2}{2x+1}$

Subtract 2/(2x+1) from each side.
$\frac{x}{2x+1} - \frac{2}{2x+1y} - \frac{1}{4} = 0$

Add 1/4 to each side, and simplify the left side.
$\frac{x-2}{2x+1} = \frac{1}{4}$

Cross multiply.
4(x - 2) = 1(2x + 1)
4x - 8 = 2x + 1

Simplify and solve for x.
4x - 2x = 1 + 8
2x = 9
x = 9/2 or x = 4 1/2.

Answer: $x = \frac{9}{2} \,\, or \,\, x = 4 \frac{1}{2}$
