10w + 4w = - 84
14w = - 84
w = - 84 : 14
w = - 6 ( answer )
-----------------------------------
10 * (- 6) + 4 * (- 6) = - 84
- 60 + (- 24) = - 84
- 84 = - 84
First, let's convert the givens to decimals to make calculations easier:
2 (3/4) = 2.75
9(5/8) = 9.625
We are given that:
Josie can hike 2.75 miles in one hour.
To know the time that Josie would take to hike 9.625 miles, we will simply do cross multiplication as follows:
2.75 miles ..........> 1 hour
9.625 miles .............> ?? hours
Time = (9.625*1) / (2.75) = 3.5 hours
The amount of water decreases
pints in 12 weeks.
Solution:
The amount of water decreases in 7 weeks =
pints
The amount of water decreases each week is same.
Let us first change the mixed fraction into improper fraction.
pints =
pints
The amount of water decreases in 1 week



So, the amount of water decreases in 1 week is
pints.
The amount of water decreases in 12 week



pints
Hence the amount of water decreases
pints in 12 weeks.
The square root of Pi is approximately 1.77245.
