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

4462 mm² in m²
Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

0.004462m²

612000m²

0.0482m²

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the conversion

1mm² = 10^-6m²

4462mm² = x

Cross multiply

1 * x = 4462 * 10^-6

x = 4462 * 10^-6

x = 4.462 * 10^3 * 10^-6

x = 4.462*10^{3-6}

x = 4.462*10^-3

x = 0.004462m²

Hence 4462 mm² in m² is 0.004462m²

0.612 km² in m²

1km² = 10^6m²

0.612km² = y

Cross multiply

1 * y = 0.612 * 10^6

y = 0.612*1,000,000

y = 612000m²

Hence 0.612 km² in m² is 612000m²

482 cm² in m²

1cm² = 0.0001m²

482 cm²  = z

z = 482 * 0.0001

z = 0.0482m²

Hence 482 cm² in m² is 0.0482m²

 An athlete runs an equal distance 2 days a week. The other 5 days of the​ week, he runs a total of 11 miles. Write an equation
katovenus [111]
Ok since the athlete an equal distance of 2 days a week and he runs a total of 11 miles in 5 days you will need to think back so before he had 11 miles done next weak he had a total of 19 miles so you will start at 11 then count up to 19.

Use a number line to show how many days it took for the athlete to get 19 miles.

Then once you do the number line count the lumps and that’s how many days it took for the athlete to get 19 miles.

Hope this helped.
