Multiple Choice
You and a friend both would like a salad and a small drink. Between the two of you, you have
$8.00. A salad costs $2.49 and a small drink is $0.99. Can either of you have a second salad
or a drink? Assume there is no sales tax.
(1 point)
yes, one salad
yes, one of each
yes, one drink
No, you cannot.
The cost of one salad and one small drink is $2.49 + $0.99 = $3.48.
Since you have $8.00, you can afford to buy a salad and a small drink and still have $8.00 - $3.48 = $4.52 left.
Therefore, you can afford to have a second salad or a drink with the remaining $4.52.
The correct answer is: yes, one of each

A student spends no more than 2 hours on his math and English homework. If math takes
about twice as long as English, what is the maximum time that the student can spend on
English?
(1 point)
1/3 hour
1/2 hour
1 hour
2/3 hour
Let's suppose that the student spends x hours on English homework.
Since math takes about twice as long as English, the student spends 2x hours on math homework.
The total time spent on homework is the sum of the time spent on math and English, which is x + 2x = 3x.
We know that the student spends no more than 2 hours on homework, so we have the equation 3x ≤ 2.
To find the maximum time that the student can spend on English, we need to find the maximum value of x.
Dividing both sides of the equation by 3, we have x ≤ 2/3.
Therefore, the maximum time that the student can spend on English is 2/3 hour.
The correct answer is: 2/3 hour.
