Answer:
13 children and 9 adults if the total cost is $152.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x children and y adults
x + y = 22 (1)
5.5x + 9y = 125.5 (2)
y = 22 - x
5.5x + 9(22 - x) = 125.5
5.5x + 198 - 9x = 125.5
-3.5x = 125.5 - 198
-3.5x = -72.5
x = 20.7
y = 22 - x = 1.3
Which is not possible
If the total cost is $152.5
x + y = 22 (1)
5.5x + 9y = 152.5 (2)
y = 22 - x
5.5x + 9(22 - x) = 152.5
5.5x + 198 - 9x = 152.5
-3.5x = 152.5 - 198
-3.5x = -45.5
x = 13
y = 22 - 13 = 9
You'll find it easier to understand if you illustrate the problem as what is shown in the attached picture. From the illustration and the problem description, two equations can be formulated:
HJ = 2JK
HJ + JK = HK
2JK + JK = 78
3JK = 78
JK = 78/3
JK = 26
Swimmer a swims 100 meters, which is 100 1-meters, which is 100
(1 yards +3.37 inches) = 100 yards + 337 inches.
1 yard is 3 feet, so 100 yards are 300 feet.
100 in is 8.33 feet so
337 in is (337*8.33)/100=28.07 feet
Swimmer b swims 100 yards, which is 300 feet
Swimmer a swam 28.07 feet.
Answer:
1506meters
Step-by-step explanation:
1hour-60minutes
which means half an hour is 30minutes,so it's more like they are asking you to find how far the swimmer can swim in 30minutes
50.2-1min
x -30min
x=50.2×30
x=1506meters
Answer:
It will take 2.6 hours by Daniel to catch up with Frank.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let Daniel will catch up with Frank after t hours.
Now, Frank will go 13 miles in
hours.
So, the distance traveled by Frank in (t + 0.228) hours with 45 mph speed will be equal to the distance traveled by Daniel in t hours with 50 mph speed.
Hence, 45(t + 0.288) = 50t
⇒ 5t = 13
⇒ t = 2.6 hours.
Therefore, it will take 2.6 hours by Daniel to catch up with Frank. (Answer)
