A group of 12 friends bought a boat costing $5,424. Each of the friends paid an equal share of the cost. How much did each person pay?
what is correct?
To find out how much each person paid, we need to divide the total cost of the boat by the number of friends.
$5,424 divided by 12 friends = $452
Therefore, each person paid $452.
A doctor sees each of her patients for 15 minutes. How many patients can she see in 4-1/2 hours?
what is correct?
To find out how many patients the doctor can see in 4-1/2 hours, we need to convert 4-1/2 hours into minutes and then divide by 15.
4-1/2 hours can be converted to minutes by multiplying by 60:
4-1/2 hours = 4.5 hours * 60 minutes/hour = 270 minutes
Now, we divide the total minutes by the time spent with each patient:
270 minutes / 15 minutes/patient = 18 patients
Therefore, the doctor can see 18 patients in 4-1/2 hours.
A motorcycle was bought for $4,375.00. Later it was sold for $452.25 less than the buying price. What was the selling price?\
what Is correct?
To find the selling price, we need to subtract $452.25 from the buying price.
Selling price = Buying price - $452.25
Selling price = $4,375.00 - $452.25
Selling price = $3,922.75
Therefore, the selling price of the motorcycle would be $3,922.75.
A baker can decorate 5 cakes in 3 hours. How many cakes can he decorate in 4 days if he works 9 hours each day?
what is correct?
To find out how many cakes the baker can decorate in 4 days, we need to calculate the total number of hours he will work and then divide by the time it takes to decorate one cake.
In 4 days, the baker works for 9 hours each day, so the total number of hours worked is 4 days * 9 hours/day = 36 hours.
If the baker can decorate 5 cakes in 3 hours, we can set up a proportion to find out how many cakes he can decorate in 36 hours:
5 cakes / 3 hours = x cakes / 36 hours
Cross-multiplying:
3 * x cakes = 5 * 36 hours
3x = 180
Dividing both sides by 3:
x = 60
Therefore, the baker can decorate 60 cakes in 4 days if he works 9 hours each day.
