Answer:20 years

Step-by-step explanation: Let your present age be 'x'

If you are 5percent holder then your age is 21

x +5/100×x =21

x+5x/100=21

100x+5x/100=21

105x/100=21

x=21×100÷105

x=20

X＋5％×x＝21
x＋5/100x＝21
x＋1/20x＝21
21/20x＝21

andrew11 [14]

First solve the volume of the box
V = 10 x 10 x 8 = 800 cubic inches
Then solve the volume of 1 pretzel
V = pI*h*r^2
V = 3.14*5*(0.25)^2
V = 0.98125 cu. In
So the amount of pretzel can be pack
A = 800/ 0.98125 = 815 pretzel

Dominic spent hours on his art project. Rachel worked times as long on her art project as Dominic worked. For how many hours did

Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

Rachel worked for $3\frac{2}{3}$ hours

Step-by-step explanation:

See comment for complete question

Given

Let

$D = Dominic$

$R = Rachel$

So:

$D = 2\frac{3}{4}$

and

$R =1\frac{1}{3}$ as long as D

Required

Determine the number of hours spent by Rachel

This implies that:

$R =1\frac{1}{3}$ as long as D

Rewrite as:

$R =1\frac{1}{3} * D$

Substitute: $D = 2\frac{3}{4}$

$R =1\frac{1}{3} * 2\frac{3}{4}$

Express as improper fraction

$R =\frac{4}{3} * \frac{11}{4}$

This gives:

$R =\frac{1}{3} * 11$

$R =\frac{11}{3}$

Express as mixed numbers

$R =3\frac{2}{3}$

Hence, Rachel worked for $3\frac{2}{3}$ hours
