Answer:
w = 1/8t
Step-by-step explanation:
So this is basically saying that for every 1 second that passed, 8 oz of water drip steadily into the bucket which can be expressed like this:
8w = t
Since t represents x and w represents y, we can simplify the equation by moving the 8 to the other side
w = 1/8t
The amount of fabric needed for Jimmy's costume is not stated, we can only determine the amount needed for Rob's costume, which makes it impossible to compare the amounts needed for both of their costumes. If this omission was an error, then you can find the difference between these amounts if the amount needed for Jimmy's costume is stated explicitly.
Step-by-step explanation:
The number of yards of fabric needed for Robs costume is (7/8+1/2+1 3/4)÷2
Assuming 1 3/4 is a mixed fraction.
= (7/8 + 1/2 + 7/4) ÷ 2
= (7 + 4 + 2) ÷ (8 × 2)
= 13/16 yards
Suppose 2 yards of fabric is needed for Jimmy's costume, then comparing with Rob's yards, we see that Jimmy's costume requires (2 - 13/16 = 19/16) more yards than Rob's costume.
The best way to do this is to set up a proportion
2 5
--- = ----
5 x
then cross multiply and divide
5 times 5=25/2=12.5
he would move 12.5 feet in 5 hours
I hope I've helped!
