So,
We'll just use A to represent both Jan and Mya's miles, since they ran the same number.
We have the equations:
1. Jan (J) = Mya (M)
2. Sara (S) = M - 8
3. 2A + S = 64
J = M
S = M - 8
We'll just use A to represent both J and M.
S = M - 8
We'll use Elimination by Substitution.
2A + A - 8 = 64
Collect Like Terms
3A - 8 = 64
Add 8 to both sides
3A = 72
Divide both sides by 3
A = 24
Since
A = J
and
A = M
and
J = M
then
J = 24
M = 24
Substitute
S = 24 - 8
S = 16
Check
24 + 24 + 16 = 64
64 = 64 This checks.
So,
J = 24
M = 24
S = 16
Answer:
20 books
Step-by-step explanation:
given that the shelf can hold 25 1/2 lbs (i.e 25.5 lbs), and that each book weighs 1 1/4 ln (i.e 1.25 lbs)
number of books which the shelf can hold
= weight that the shelf can hold ÷ weight of each book
= 25.5 ÷ 1.25
= 20.4 books
because having 0.4 of a book (i.e part of a book) would not be very feasable, we have to round the number of books down to the nearest whole number)
20.4 books rounded down to nearest whole number = 20 books (answer)
Answer:
Part A:
c = .86*p
c =1.72 for 2 lbs
Part B:
c =.81p
Step-by-step explanation:
Part A:
Total cost = cost per pound * number of pounds
c = .86*p
Let p = 2
c = .86*2
c =1.72
Part B:
Total cost = cost per pound * number of pounds
c = .(.86-.05)*p
c =.81p
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
remember when dividing with fractions, you are multiplying by the reciprocal.
this means
The volume is proportional to the cube of the radius:
4^3=64
The volume will be 64 times the original value!
