X=one type that cost 9
y=one type that cost 8

total books=type1+type2
total books=13
x+y=13

the total cost=cost of each added together
cost of each=number of books times cost per book
total cost=108
9x+8y=108


we have
x+y=13
9x+8y=108
solve for x and y

multiply first equation by -8 and add to first equation
-8x-8y=-104
<u>9x+8y=108 +</u>
x+0y=4

x=4
subsitute
x+y=13
4+y=13
minus 4
y=9

4 of the $9
9 of the $8

thats how to solve

Rachel has completed 2/3 of her shift; Jose has completed 1/6 of his shift; Damon has finished 4/5 of his shift; and Stacy has 6
Alisiya [41]

Answer:

C. Stacy

Step-by-step explanation:

One way to compare is to convert all the fractions into decimals

    Rachel works 2/3 of her shift: Approximately= 0.667

    Jose works 1/6: approx. = 0.1667

    Damon works 4/5= 0.80

    Stacy works 6/7: approx. = 0.8571

Now this makes it much easier to compare

And since 0.85714 (Stacy's shift) is the largest number, Stacy has completed the largest portion of her shift

In a scale drawing of an apartment 1 centimeter represents 2 3/4 feet. if the length of the kitchens is 4 1/2 cm on the scale dr
rusak2 [61]
Given: 1 cm = 2 3/4 ft ; kitchen length = 4 1/2 cm
2 3/4 = 11/4; 4 1/2= 9/2

11/4 x 9/2 = 99/8 =12 3/8

OR You could use decimals

2 3/4 = 2.75 ; 4 1/2 = 4.5
2.75 x 4.5 = 12.375
12.375 = 12 375/1000 or 12 3/8

Which of the following steps were applied to ABCD to obtain A’B’C’D’?
devlian [24]

Answer:

c- shifted 3 units right and 4 units up

Step-by-step explanation:

In this problem, we have a quadrilateral named as ABCD. Recall that a quadrilateral is a two-dimensional shape having four sides. So, we need to identify what transformation has been performed to get A'B'C'D', which is the same quadrilateral shifted certain units right and up. So take one point, say, B, so how do we need to do to obtain point B'? well, we need to move that point 3 units right and 4 units up, but how can we know this? just count the number of squares you need to move from B to B' horizontally and vertically, which is in fact  3 units right and 4 units up.
