Ashley and Emma are reading the same article. Ashley is on page 1 of the article, but she can read 1 page per minute. Emma is already on page 5, but reads a page every 3 minutes.

What page is Ashley on after 5 minutes.

What equation can be used to represent the amount Emma has read?

How many minutes does it take before Ashley and Emma have read the same amount

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Part A)

Ashley will be on the sixth page.

Part B)

[tex]\displaystyle p=\frac{1}{3}m+5[/tex]

Part C)

Six minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ashley is on the first page and she can read one page per minute.

Emma is on the fifth page and she can read one page every three minutes.

Part A)

We can write an equation for Ashley. Let m represent the amount of minutes that has passed.

Since she is already one the first page, our initial value is 1.

She reads one page every minute. So, after m minutes, she would have read m pages.

Therefore, our equation is:

[tex]p=m+1[/tex]

Where p is the total pages read after m minutes.

Then after five minutes, Ashley will be on the:

[tex]p=(5)+1=6[/tex]

Ashley will be on the sixth page after five minutes.

Part B)

Since Emma reads one page every three minutes, we can say that she reads 1/3 of a page every minute.

Since she started on page five, her equation is:

[tex]\displaystyle p=\frac{1}{3}m+5[/tex]

Part C)

So, both of their pages read must be equivalent. Therefore:

[tex]\displaystyle m+1=\frac{1}{3}m+5[/tex]

Solve for m. Subtract 1/3m from both sides:

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{2}{3}m+1=5[/tex]

Subtract 1 from both sides:

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{2}{3}m=4[/tex]

Finally, multiply both sides by 3/2:

[tex]\displaystyle m=4\Big(\frac{3}{2}\Big)=6[/tex]

So, it will take six minutes before Ashley and Emma have read the same number of pages.

Answers

Answer:

-6

Step-by-step explanation:

if they were both positive numbers, it would be 6. But when you multiply a negative by a positive, the answer is negative.

Answer:

-6

Step-by-step explanation:

When you multiply a positive number by another positive number, you will always get a positive number as your answer. Same thing for negative. If you multiply a negative by a negative, you will always get a positive. However, when you multiply a negative by a positive, you will always get a negative number.

Since you know this, you can multiply 2 by 3, which is 6. Because 2 is negative and 3 is positive, you know that the answer must be negative. Therefore, you add the negative symbol to 6, giving you -6.

I hope this isn't too confusing. Please let me know if you have any more questions. Good luck!

Jessica went to dinner and her bill was $15.60. If she wants to leave a 15% tip, how much is the tip? How much did she spend total after the tip?

Answers

Answer:

A) $2.34

B) $17.94

Step-by-step explanation:

First in order to find the tip you need to set up a proportion:

15/100 = x/15.6

Step 1: Cross-multiply.

15/100 = x/15.6

(15)*(15.6) = x*(100)

234 = 100x

Step 2: Flip the equation.

100x=234

Step 3: Divide both sides by 100.

100x/100 = 234/100

x = 117/50 (2.34)

The tip is $2.34

Now to find the total, add the tip to the bill.

15.6+2.34

= 17.94

The total bill was $17.94

Answers

Answer:

156.6 meters squared

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 3 triangles for the sides. The area for a triangle is one half base times height. So we are doing one half of 9 times 9. This is 40.5. Since there are 3 of them we can just multiply 40.5 times 3 to get 121.5. And now to solve for the base triangle, it is one half of 9 times 7.8. We get 35.1. Now add together 121.5 and 35.1. We get 156.6. Now since this is surface area it is meters squared.
