First you need to find what 2/3 equals
to do this, take 99 divided by 3
99/3=33
if 1/3 equals 33, two thirds would be 33x2
33x2=66
now, you need to find 1/2 of 66. this can be done 2 different ways
1. 66 divided by 2 - 66/2=33
OR
2. 66 x 1/2 = 33 OR 66 x .5 = 33
The answer is 33 kilograms
We assume all money is spent on new lighting. Since they currently have $160 and need $400 we can subtract what they currently have from what they need.
$400-$160 = $240
Since we know the price of the ticket and now know they need $240 we can divide our $240 with the price of each ticket ($3)
$240/$3 = 80
So the drama club has to sell 80 more tickets in order to afford new lighting
Subtract 8/10 from 4/10 but just the numerator (the top number) and you will get 4/10
Answer:
32 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
Given data
Let the total distance be x miles
Marks speed= 16miles per hour
Trisha's speed= 12 miles per hour
Trisha has covered 8 miles and has (x-8) miles to finish line
We know that
Speed= distance/time
time= distance/speed
Hence the time taken for Mark to finish is
time= x/16---------------1
The time taken for Trisha to finish is
time= (x-8)/12-----------2
equate 1 and 2 above
x/16= (x-8)/12
cross multiply
16(x-8)= 12*x
16x-128= 12x
collect like terms
16x-12x= 128
4x=128
x= 128/4
x= 32 miles
Hence they will meet at exactly 32 miles along the way
The answer would be 0.3635
