Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:  The correct option is

(A) Gerard has spent less than (1)/(2) of his lunch money.

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that Gerard has $30 to spend on lunches this month that costs him $1.50 each day.

We are to find the correct statement after Gerard buys lunch for 8 days.

We have

Cost of Lunch for one day = $1.50.

So, cost of lunch for 8 days will be

\$(1.50* 8)=\$12.

That is, Gerard has spent $12 of his lunch money in 8 days.

Also, the total amount of money Gerard has for lunch = $30.

So, half of the lunch money will be

(30)/(2)=\$15.

Since, 12 < 15, so Gerard has spent less than (1)/(2) of his lunch money.

Thus, option (A) is correct.
Answer 2
Answer:

Gerard has spent less than 1/2 of his lunch money.

Sue subtracted 2.9 from 20.9 and got 1.8. Explain why this is not reasonable

Answers

because it is way to low even looking at it u can tell that it will still be in double diets
-- 20.9 is roughly 30.

-- 2.9 is roughly 3.

-- If Sue started with 30 and subtracted 3 from it, she would have 27.

-- 1.8 is nowhere near 27.  It's not a reasonable answer.

(Actually,  20.9 - 2.9 = 18 .  So you can see where maybe she got her
digits from, but she made some kind of bad mistake in handling them.)

Variable g is 8 more than variable w. Variable g is also 2 less than w. Which of the following pairs of equations best models the relationship between g and w?g = 8w
g = w + 2

w = g + 8
w = g − 2

w = 8g
w = g + 2

g = w + 8
g = w − 2

Answers

If you would like to find a pair of equations that best models the relationship between g and w, you can do this using the following steps:

g is 8 more than w ... g = w + 8
g is 2 less than w ... g = w - 2

The correct result would be g = w + 8 and g = w - 2.
