Answer: 29 cans.
Step-by-step explanation:
20 can survive 24 days with 15 cans.
If X is the number of days that a man can survive with one can of rations.
so X is in the units can/day
then we have that:
24/15*X = 20
X = 20*15/24 = 12.5
This means that a man can live 12.5 days with a can of food.
then, for 16 men and 36 days we have:
(36/C)*12.5 = 16
C = (36/16)*12.5 = 28.1215
And we can not have a 0.1215 of a can, so we should round it up to 29 cans.
Let Mary Sue have m necklaces and Betty have b necklaces.
And they have 603 necklaces altogether, that is
m + b =603
And Mary Sue has 115 more necklaces than Betty, that is
m=b +115
Substituting this value in first equation we will get
b+115+b=603
Subtracting 115
2b= 488
b= 244
So Betty have 244 necklaces .
Answer:
X would have to equal 6. To work it out, you subtract 4 from each side to cancel out the 4. -x = -6. You have to make -x just x so you × each side by -1. You get x = 6.
Answer:
It's D.
Step-by-step explanation:
The shorter period loan has the same total interest for the same loan amount, so it has the higher effective interest rate: 80/12 is higher than 89/14.
