Jamila and Akiko had the same amount of money to spend. After Jamila spent $33 and Akiko spent$42, Jamila had 4 times as much money left as Akiko. How much money did each of them have in
the beginning?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer: $45

Step-by-step explanation: Let the amount of money be x ,

Then , after Jamila spent $33 , the remaining money is x-33,

Also , after Akiko spent $42 , the remaining money is x- 42,

since Jamila is now having 4 times as much money left as Akiko, we have

x - 33 = 4 ( x - 42)

x - 33 = 4x - 168

-33+168 = 4x - x

135 = 3x

Therefore ,

x = 45

A relay race covers 1 1/2 miles, and each runner on a team will run 1/4 of a mile. How many runners are needed for a team?

Answers

The number of runners that'll be needed for the team will be 6 runners.

Number of miles for the relay race = 1 1/2 miles

Miles to be covered by each runner = 1/4 miles

Therefore, in order to get the number of miles that are needed for the team, we will have to divide 1 1/2 miles by 1/4 mile. This will be:

= 1 1/2 ÷ 1/4

= 3/2 ÷ 1/4

= 3/2 × 4/1

= 6

Therefore, 6 runners will be needed for the relay race.

If you do 1.5/.25 that gives you 6. So if each runner covers .25 of the race you need 6 runners on a team.
