It is 1 1/4 miles from Ahmed’s house to school. How far does Ahmed’s travel in 5 days walking to school and back

Sauron [17]

Ahmed travel $12\frac{1}{2}$ miles in 5 days walking to school and back.

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance from house to school = $1\frac{1}{4}$ miles

Distance from school to house = $1\frac{1}{4}$ miles

Total distance in 1 day = $1\frac{1}{4}+1\frac{1}{4}=\frac{5}{4}+\frac{5}{4}$

Total distance in 1 day = $\frac{5+5}{4}=\frac{10}{4}$

Distance traveled in 5 days = $5*\frac{10}{4}=\frac{50}{4}$

Distance traveled in 5 days = $\frac{25}{2}=12\frac{1}{2}$

Ahmed travel $12\frac{1}{2}$ miles in 5 days walking to school and back.

Helena needs 3.5 cups of flour per loaf of bread and 2.5 cups of flour per batch of muffins. She also needs 0.75 cup of sugar pe

Arlecino [84]

From the given data, we can generate two equations with two unknowns.

We let x = number of loaves of bread
y = number of batches of muffins

For the equation of the flour requirement:
17 = 3.5x + 2.5y

<span>For the equation of the sugar requirement:
</span>4.5 = 0.75x + 0.75y

We evaluate the solutions by manipulating one of the equations into terms of the other. We use the first equation.We write x in terms of y.

x = (4.5/0.75) - y

Substitute the third equation to the second equation.

17 = (3.5((4.5/0.75)-y)) + 2.5y

Evaluating y and x, we have,

y = 4 and x = 2

Thus, from the amounts she has in hand, she can make 4 loaves of bread and 2 batches of muffins.

Olenka [21]

Answer:

The answer of the following question is m = \frac{C - b - bt}{r + rt}.

Solution:

C = (b + rm)(1 + t),

C = b + rm + bt + rmt

C = b + bt + rm + rmt

C - b - bt = m (r + rt)

\frac{C - b - bt}{r + rt} = m

t\neq -1,

r\neq 0
