She purchased 5 paperbacks at $4 and 3 hardbacks at $8 for a total of $44.

h = number of hardback books
p = number of paperback books
h + p = 8
so
h = 8-p
.
4*p = price of paperbacks
8*h = price of hardbacks
4*p + 8*h = 44
.
substitute h = 8-p
.
4p + 8(8-p) = 44
4p +64 -8p = 44
-4p = -20
p = 5
h = 8-p
h = 3
.
check to be sure the values are right
4*5 = 20
3*8 = 24
20 +24 = 44

  • Answer:
  • david finished 24 problems more than ameetha
  • Step-by-step explanation:
  • <em>problems finished by ameetha = 12 problems</em>
  • <em>problems finished by ameetha = 12 problemsproblems finished by David = 3 times more than ameethas problem = 3*12 = 36</em>
  • <em>problems finished by ameetha = 12 problemsproblems finished by David = 3 times more than ameethas problem = 3*12 = 36the problems finished by David more than ameetha =</em>
  • <em>problems finished by ameetha = 12 problemsproblems finished by David = 3 times more than ameethas problem = 3*12 = 36the problems finished by David more than ameetha =36-12= 24 </em>
  • <em>problems finished by ameetha = 12 problemsproblems finished by David = 3 times more than ameethas problem = 3*12 = 36the problems finished by David more than ameetha =36-12= 24 so David finished 24 problems more than ameetha</em>

David is shoveling driveways to raise money for his Spring
Anna007 [38]

Answer:

Total savings  = $63  +  12 ( m)  

: m  = number of driveways shoveled

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the money earned for each road David shovels = $15

The number of driveway shoveled by David = 12

The total money saved  David has after he is done with his work = $243

Now, The number of money saved by shoving 12 driveways  

= 12 x ( Money earned by shoveling 1 driveway)

= 12 x ( $15) = $ 180

Total savings  = His previous savings  + Money earned from Shovel work

⇒  $243  =   His previous savings + $ 180

⇒ His previous savings = $243  - $180 = $63

Now, we can write his total savings as:

Total savings  = $63  + 12 ( m)  

: m  = number of driveways shoveled

What greater 1/2 or 1/12
laila [671]

Answer: 1/2

Step-by-step explanation: To find out what fraction is greater, notice that the fractions that we're comparing in this problem have different denominators.

When fractions have different denominators, they're called unlike fractions.

To compare unlike fractions, we must first get a common denominator. The common denominator of 2 and 12 will be the least common multiple of 2 and 12 which is 12.

To get a 12 in the denominator of 1/2, we multiply the numerator and the denominator by 6 which gives us 6/12.

Notice that 1/12 already has a 12 in the denominator so now we are comparing like fractions since both of them has a 12 in the denominator.

To compare like fractions, we simply look at the numerators. Since 6 is greater than 1, this means that 6/12 is greater than 1/12.

Therefore, 1/2 is greater than 1/12.
