I will rewrite the question for better understanding:
Ashley recently opened a store that uses only natural ingredients. She wants to advertise her products by distributing bags of samples in her neighborhood. It takes Ashley 2/3 of a minute to prepare one bag. It takes each of her friends 75% longer to prepare a bag. How many hours will it take Ashley and 4 of her friends to prepare 1575 bags of samples?
Answer:
- <em><u>5.3 hours</u></em>
Explanation:
<u>1) Time it takes Ashley to preprate one bag: </u>
<u>2) Time it takes each friend of Ashley: 75% more than 2/3 min</u>
- 75% × 2/3 min = 0.75 × 2/3 min = 3/4 × 2/3 min= 2/4 min = 1/2 min = 0.5 min
- 2/3 min + 1/2 min = 7/6 min
<u>3) Time it takes Ashley and the 4 friends working along to prepare one bag:</u>
- Convert each time into a rate, since you can set that the total rate of Ashley along with her four friends is equal to the sum of each rate:
- Rate of Ashley: 1 bag / (2/3) min = 3/2 bag/min
- Rate of each friend: 1 bag / (7/6) min = 6/7 bag/min
- Rate of Ashley and 4 friends = 3/2 bag/min + 4 × 6/7 bag/min = (3/2 +24/7) bag/min = 69/14 bag/min
<u>4) Time of prepare 1575 bags of samples:</u>
- time = number of bags / number of bags per min = 1,575 bags / (69/14) bags/min = 319.56 min
<u>5) Convert minutes to hours:</u>
- 356.56 min × 1 hour / 60 min = 5.3 hours
Answer:
4 inches per second
Step-by-step explanation:
Speed = distance/time
Given
Distance = 20 feet
12 inches = 1 foot
X inches = 20 feet
X = 20 x 12 = 240 inches
Time = 1 minute = 60 secs
Therefore
Speed = 240/60
= 4 inches per second
Answer:
<h2>Cubing both sides of an equation is reversible.</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
Squaring both sides of an equation is irreversible, because the square power of negative number gives a positive result, but you can't have a negative base with a positive number, given that the square root of a negative number doesn't exist for real numbers.
In case of cubic powers, this action is reversible, because the cubic root of a negative number is also a negative number. For example
![\sqrt[3]{x} =-1](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Csqrt%5B3%5D%7Bx%7D%20%3D-1)
We cube both sides
![(\sqrt[3]{x} )^{3} =(-1)^{3} \\x=-1](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%28%5Csqrt%5B3%5D%7Bx%7D%20%29%5E%7B3%7D%20%3D%28-1%29%5E%7B3%7D%20%5C%5Cx%3D-1)
If we want to reverse the equation to the beginning, we can do it, using a cubic root on each side
![\sqrt[3]{x}=\sqrt[3]{-1} \\\sqrt[3]{x}=-1](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Csqrt%5B3%5D%7Bx%7D%3D%5Csqrt%5B3%5D%7B-1%7D%20%5C%5C%5Csqrt%5B3%5D%7Bx%7D%3D-1)
There you have it, cubing both sides of an equation is reversible.

Answer:
They each have 64
Step-by-step explanation:
let C = number of fish that Cecilia has --- then, O = 2C, where O = number of fish that Oscar has --- and T = O + 8 = 2C + 8, where T = number of fish that Tasha has --- then, C + O + T = C + 2C + (2C + 8) = 148 --- or, 5C + 8 = 148 --- or, 5C = 140 --- or, C = 140/5 = 28 --- and, O = 2C = 2(28) = 56 --- and, T = O + 8 = 56 + 8 = 64
