Answer:

70 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Mary can type the number of letters in 20 minutes = 6

Maggie can type the number of letters in 20 minutes = 5

Su Ying can type the number of letters in 20 minutes = 2

Working together they can type the number of letters in 20 minutes

= 6 + 5 + 2

= 13 letters

Working together they can type the number of letters in 1 minute = \frac{13}{20}

To type 45 letters time taken by them = \frac{45}{\frac{13}{20} }

                                                               = 45\times \frac{20}{13}

                                                               = \frac{900}{13}

                                                               = 69.230 ≈ 70 minutes

It will take them 70 minutes to type 45 letters.

The solution to the system equations
katovenus [111]

Let's solve this system of equations through substitution.

We have these two equations.

-7x-2y=14

6x+6y=18

Now let divide the second equation by 6.

6x+6y=18 ---->   x+y=3

Next, let us move y to the right side of the equation.

x+y=3 -------> x=3-y (x equals 3-y)

Because we found out that what x is in terms of y, we can input that in for every instance of x in this equation below.

-7x-2y=14 becomes -7(3-y)-2y=14 (Why? Because x equals 3-y!)

We have a one variable equation now and can solve for y.

-7(3-y)-2y=14

-21+7y-2y=14

5y=35

y=7

Plug in 7 for y in any equation to find x.

x+y=3

x+7=3

x=-4

answer: x=-4, y=7

Karl had planned to drive for 1023 hours on a certain day during his road trip. When he became sleepy, however, he decided to de
netineya [11]

Since Karl became sleepy and decided to decrease his driving time by 25%, he drove <u>767.25 hours</u> that day.

<h3>What is driving time?</h3>

Planned driving time is the estimated time that Karl planned to drive between two points or to one's destination.

The Actual driving time is the actual time that it took Karl to drive from one point to his destination.

Driving time can be estimated or calculated by dividing the distance by the speed.

<h3>Data and Calculations:</h3>

The planned driving hours on a certain day = 1,023 hours

Decrease in driving time = 25%

Percentage of hours Karl drove = 75% (100 - 25)

Hours drove that day = 767.25 hours (1,023 x 75%)

Thus, Karl drove <u>767.25 hours</u> that day.
