2. I don’t know
3. 80%
4. 4 949.125
Those are my answers
So who is going to help me?
Because I am supposed to get helped.
1. Did you guess that 1.76?
9.23 lbs + 7.47 lbs = 16.7 lbs total @ 0.32 c/lb = $5.34
1. To find out how much Jose will make for the last two weeks, we need to calculate the total weight of the aluminum cans he has recycled.
First, we add the weight of cans from last week and this week:
7.47 pounds (last week) + 9.23 pounds (this week) = 16.7 pounds (total weight)
Next, we multiply the total weight by the price per pound:
16.7 pounds * $0.32/pound = $5.344
Therefore, Jose will make $5.344 for the last two weeks if he recycles his cans.
2. To find the integer that represents Michael's depth now, we need to calculate the total change in depth.
Michael dove 10 feet below the water's surface, went up 15 feet, and then went back down 35 feet.
So, the total change in depth is:
-10 feet (dove down) + 15 feet (went up) - 35 feet (went back down) = -30 feet
Therefore, the integer that represents Michael's depth now is -30 feet.
3. To find the percentage of chocolate chip cookies, we need to divide the number of chocolate chip cookies by the total number of cookies and then multiply it by 100.
Since 4/5 of the cookies are chocolate chip cookies, the percentage is:
(4/5) * 100 = 80%
Therefore, 80% of the cookies are chocolate chip cookies.
4. To find the average amount collected per hour, we need to divide the total amount collected by the total number of hours.
The youth group collected $582.25 in 8.5 hours, so the average amount collected per hour is:
$582.25 / 8.5 hours = $68.50/hour
Therefore, the average amount collected per hour is $68.50.
