You have $60 and your sister has $120. You are saving $14 per week and your sister is saving $10 per week. How long will it be b

tigry1 [53]

Answer:

15 weeks

The amount of money is 270

Step-by-step explanation:

You: 60 +14x

Sister: 120+10x

Set them equal to each other

60+14x = 120+10x

Subtract 10x from each side

60+4x= 120

Subtract 60 from each side

4x= 60

Divide by 4

4x/4 = 60/4

x = 15

15 weeks

The amount of money is 120+10*15 = 120+150 = 270

A cow can give 5 gallons of milk if it eats 2 pounds of grass. Express x in terms of y, where y is the number of gallons of milk

Crank

Answer:y=2.5 x

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Cow give 5 gallon of milk if it eats 2 pound of grass

i.e. it gives 2.5 gallon of milk if it eats 1 pound of grass

So we can say cow given 2.5 times of milk in gallon for each pound it eats

If cow eats x pounds of grass then it must yield 2.5 times of milk

Suppose milk is denoted by y

therefore we can write

y=2.5 x

Therefore y=2.5 x represent the relation between grass and milk produced

You are going to visit your aunt who lives 25 miles away . You have already traveled 7.7 miles. What percentage of the trip is s

8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

30.8%

Step-by-step explanation:

To figure this out, set up an equation. 7.7/25 = x/100. This is because 7.7 miles out of 100 is equal to some percentage of 100. Then, solve by simplifying both sides and isolating the variable of x.

Polly buys 14 cupcakes for a party. The bakery puts them into boxes that hold 4 cupcakes each.

Temka [501]

Answer:

Part a) The number of boxes needed will be 4

part b) The fraction of the box that is empty is $\frac{1}{2}$

Part c) Are needed 2 cupcakes to fill the last box

Step-by-step explanation:

Part a) How many boxes will be needed for Polly to bring all the cupcakes to the party?

To find out the number of boxes needed, divide the total number of cupcakes by 4 (maximum number of cupcakes that fit in each box).

so

$\frac{14}{4}=3.5\ box$

Round up

The number of boxes needed will be 4

Part b) If the bakery completely fills as many boxes as possible, what fraction of the last box is empty?

we know that

The maximum number of cupcakes per box is 4

The first three boxes have 4 cupcakes

The last box has

$14-3(4)=2\ cupcakes$

The fraction of the box that is empty is equal to the number of cupcakes missing to fill the box divided by the cupcake capacity of the box

$\frac{2}{4}=\frac{1}{2}$

Part c) How many more cupcakes are needed to fill this box

Subtract the number of cupcakes in the box from the cupcake capacity of the box

The last box has 2 cupcakes

The cupcake capacity of the box is 4

so

$4-2=2\ cupcakes$

therefore

Are needed 2 cupcakes to fill the last box
