Answer:

comic books = 2

magazines = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Let c = number of comic books bought

Let m = number of magazines bought

He bought 17 items, so

c + m = 17

Comic books cost $4 each and magazines cost $3 each.

He spent $53 on comic books and magazines, so

4c + 3m = 53

Rearrange c + m = 17 to make m the subject:

m = 17 - c

Substitute  m = 17 - c  into  4c + 3m = 53  and solve for c:

4c + 3(17 - c) = 53

⇒ 4c + 51 - 3c = 53

⇒ c = 2

Substitute c = 2  into m = 17 - c to and solve for m:

m = 17 - 2 = 15

Nikolay [14]
Well let’s see...

If she practices 3/4 of an hour a week we need to find out how much time is 3/4 of an hour. To do this we divide 60/4 and get 15. We check by multiplying 15 x 4 and get 60 so we know we are correct.

Now we know that 1/4 of an hour is 15 minutes, but we need to know how long she practices per session. Because 15 is 1/4 we multiply 15 x 3 to make it 3/4.

15 x 3 is 45. We check by dividing 45 by 3 and we do get 15 so we are correct.

If 3/4 of an hour is 45 minutes and she practices for 3/4 of an hour then we know that for every session she practices for 45 minutes.

The question states that she practices for 3 hours every week, since we know that we need to multiply 45 (because she practices 45 minutes every session) by a number that will get us 3 hours.

45 x 4 is 180 minutes (or three hours) we divided 180 by 4 and got 45 thus we are correct.

Which in turn means she has done 4 sessions this week. Since now we know that 4 sessions is 3 hours (making the ratio 4:3) we can multiply to find how many sessions she has left to do this week.

So if we have 4:3 then we can make it 8:6 (which means we know have 8 sessions and 6 hours) now we can make it 12:9 (12 sessions and 9 hours) and add it once more to get 16:12 (or 16 sessions and 12 hours).

Now we know that it takes 16 sessions for her to reach twelve hours, and since she and already done 4 sessions and 3 hours, it means that she has 12 sessions left to do until she is able to get her 12 hour a week goal.

Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

(80-10)/(2*2*12)

Step-by-step explanation:

80 - 10 = # of minutes

            = 70 minutes

In 70 minutes, you can make 2 batches.

In 2 batches, you can make 4 dozen muffins.

4 dozen = 4 x 12 = 48

Therefore the answer is 48 muffins

Equation: (80-10)/(2*2*12)
