Mr. Helsley wishes to save atleast $1500 in 12 months. If he saved $300 during the first 4 months, what is the least possible av
faust18 [17]

Answer:he must save an average of $150 or more in each of the remaining 8 months.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mr. Helsley wishes to save at least $1500 in 12 months. If he saved $300 during the first 4 months, then the amount left would be

≥ 1500 - 300

Let x represent the least possible average amount that he must save in each of the remaining 8 months. This means that the total amount that he would save in the last 8 months would be 8x. Therefore,

300 + 8x ≥ 1500

8x ≥ 1500 - 300

8x ≥ 1200

x ≥1200/8

x ≥ 150

Maya designed two intersecting roads. She drew the roads so that one of the angles at the intersection was 45 degrees. What are
Citrus2011 [14]
The sum of opposite angles are equal, so two of the angles are 45°.  The sum of all angles about the intersection of two lines is 360°.  So the remaining two angles are found by:

α=(360-2*45)/2

α=135°  thus all four angles are:

45°,135°,45°,135°

Shane has 1/2 pound of cheese to make 4 sandwiches. He wants to use the same amount of cheese in each sandwich. What fraction of
anastassius [24]

Answer:

The fraction of one pound of cheese to be used in each sandwich is 1/8

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we have a question that requires the method of dealing with the division of fractions.

To divide a fraction by a whole number, we multiply the denominator of the fraction by the whole number as follows;

\frac{x}{y} \div z =\frac{x}{y\times z}

Quantity of cheese Shane has = 1/2 pound

Number of sandwiches to be made = 4

Amount of cheese per sandwich = 1/2÷4 = 1/8.
