Answer:

w+2,312=2,490

w=178\ pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

w ----> the amount of weight lost in pounds

we know that

The amount of weight Bernard lost plus the weight of this week must be equal to the weight of the last week

so

The linear equation that represent this situation is

w+2,312=2,490

solve for w

subtract 2,312 both sides

w=2,490- 2,312=178\ pounds

R = rate for the lawn sprinkler

rate of lawn sprinklerand hose would be 5 minutes /r ( rate per minute)

 we would then want to add that to the ratio of the  lawn sprinkler and hose together together which would be 5 minutes for both / 8 minutes for hose
 we want to add those together to equal 100 percent, which can also be written as 1
 so the correct equation would be B) 5/8 + 5/r = 1

Viefleur [7K]

Since there are 6 students out of which one needs to be selected, the principal chose two die on which there are six numbers each numbered from 1 , 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.

Since there are two dice, the total possible outcome is 36.

Hence, the probability of getting one number each is 1/36

Hence, the principal used a fair method because each result is an equally likely possible outcome.

Option B is correct.

Ella takes 1 3/5 hours to complete a painting. Holly takes 3/4 of the time that Ella takes. How long will Holly take to complete
Misha Larkins [42]
1. you have to figure out what 3/4 of Ella's time is.
1 \frac{3}{5}  =  \frac{8}{5}
(You find that out by multiplying 5x1. Then add 3.)
2. Convert the fractions into decimals. (This will help make it easier when dividing.)
\frac{8}{5}  = 8 \div 5 = 1.6
\frac{3}{4}  = 3 \div 4 = .75
3. Next you are going to divide 1.6 by .75
1.6 \div .75 = 2.13
4. Now multiple 2.13 by 5.
2.13 \times 5 = 10.65
