Answer:
7 are boys
Step-by-step explanation:
Make a system of equations where g is for girls and b is for boys.
b+g=26
g=3b-2
Substitute "3b-2" in for "g" in the first equation.
b+(3b-2)=26
Rewrite without the parentheses because it's addition and not multiplication.
b+3b-2=26
Combine like terms.
4b-2=26
Add 2 to both sides.
4b=28
Divide by the coefficient of the variable to get it alone.
b=7
Answer:
Denote the amount of miles she will run in 24 minutes: x
=> x/24 = 7/60 (same rate)
=> x = 7x24/60 = 2.8 (miles)
Answer:
8.47 Hours
Step-by-step explanation:
Allen can take 16 hours, while
Brianne can take 18 hours;
Therefore, in 1 hour Allen will complete a fraction of 1/16, while
in 1 hour Brianne will complete a fraction of 1/18
When working together, in 1 hour they will complete a fraction of (1/18+1/16)
= 17/144,
Therefore; to complete the whole project working together, they will take;
144/17 = 8.47 hours
The answer is 10% because 10% of 40 is 4
