One way of doing this is to write the equation of ratios (15 screwdrivers / 45 screwdrivers) = ($300 / x). Solve this equation for x. To do this, you might try multiplying both sides of this equation by x to eliminate fractions.
Another way is to obtain the unit cost of each screwdriver and then multiply the result by 45 screwdrivers.
X= 180
now you have to multiply all them with 180
5(180)= 900
2(180)= 360
8.008
8.08

8.09
since it says increasing order it means least to greatest
Answer:
5 hours 22 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us represent the number of hours that Jeri worked as: h
Jeri's lawn service charges an initial fee of $4.50 plus $3 an hour
= $4.50 + $3 × h
= $4.50 + 3h
If she is asked to start before 7 a.m. Jeri charges 1.5 times the regular amount.
= 1.5 × ($4.50 + 3h)
If she made $29.25 on a job that began at 5 am, how many hours did Jeri work?
Hence, we have the final equation;
= 1.5 × ($4.50 + 3h) = $29.25
= 6.75 + 4.5h = 29.25
Collect like terms
= 4.5h = 29.25 - 6.75
4.5h = 22.5
h = 22.5/4.5
h = 5.3571428571
Approximately= 5.36 hours
1 hour = 60 minutes
0.36 hour =
60 × 0.36
= 21.6 minutes
Approximately ≈ 22 minutes
Therefore, Jeri worked for 5 hours 22 minutes
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
We will use following steps to measure exactly 4 gallons of water with the help of 5 gallons and 3 gallons empty jugs.
1). Fill 3 gallons jug completely.
2). Pour this 3 gallons of water into 5 gallons jug. Now we have 3 gallons of water in 5 gallons jug and 3 gallons jug empty.
We can add 2 gallons of water in the empty space of 5 gallons jug more.
3). Fill the 3 gallons jug with the water again.
4). Pour this water into 5 gallons jug which can hold 2 gallons of water more.
Now we have 5 gallons of jug filled fully and 1 gallon water remaining in the 3 gallons jug.
5). Empty the 5 gallons jug completely.
6). Pour the remaining 1 gallon of remaining water in 3 gallons jug into 5 gallons jug.
7). Fill the 3 gallons jug completely and pour it into 5 gallon jug.
8). Finally we have 4 gallons of water in the 5 gallons jug.
