Let

be the number of hours that the waitress works in the evening.
We know for our problem that she works

in the afternoon and that she works <span>1.75 hours less in the afternoon than in the evening, so:
</span>

<span>Since </span>

, we can rewrite our expression:


We can conclude that she works 3.375 hours in the evening, or expressed as a mixed fraction:

hours.
You can multiply both sides by a number that will get rid of the denominators. For ex. you can multiply the first equation by 12 because 4 and 3 both go into 12 evenly. MAKE SURE YOU MULTIPLY THE OTHER SIDE BY 12 AS WELL! Therefore, 12(x/4) - 12(y/3) = 12(1), or 3x - 4y = 12
Tim spends 500 minutes at the school.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given,
Time for lunch = 45 minutes
Time for study hall = 45 minutes
Total = 45+45 = 90 minutes
This represents 18% of the total minutes Tim spend at school.
Let,
x be the total minutes Tim spend at school.
18% of x = 90 minutes

Dividing both sides by 0.18

Tim spends 500 minutes at the school.
