Answer:
So you need to compute all the rates to see which is the best deal.
$1.79/12.5ft^2=$0.1432 per ft^2
$5.29/40ft^2=$0.13225 per ft^2
$8.49/50ft^2=$0.1698 per ft^2
$6/60ft^2=$0.10 per ft^2
So the last option is the cheapes per square foot and thus is the best deal. Ordered from least to greatest.

Answer:
Carter family = 25 hours
Davis family = 31 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's say the number of hours the Carter family used their sprinkler is x and the number of hours the Davis family used their sprinkler for is y.
So combined:
x + y = 45 hours
and we are also told that:
40x + 15y = 1300 L
So we can do simultaneous equations to solve the problem.
With some rearranging, we can figure out that:
y= 45 - x
and by substituting that into the second equation:
40x + 15 (45 -x) = 40x + 675 - 15x = 1300L
25x = 1300 - 675
25x = 625
x = 25 = hours that the Carter family used their sprinkler
and we can substitute that back into the original equation to find how many hours the Davis family used their sprinkler so:
25 + y = 56
y = 31
The Davis family used their sprinkler for 31 hours whilst the Carter family used their sprinkler for 25 hours.
1. move 78.2 over to the over side. This will give you 287-78.2.
2. when you have .5x = 208.8, divide both sides by .5
3. this should give you x= 417.6
4. make sure to check your work by plugging you answer back into x.
Answer
y = (1/4)x - 5 or 4y - x + 20 = 0
Explanation
To get the rule required, we interpret the sentence and write it in a mathematical form.
5 less than one fourth of x is y
one fourth of x ⇒ (1/4)x
5 less than one fourth of x is y ⇒ (1/4)x - 5 = y
y = (1/4)x - 5
4y = x - 20
4y - x + 20 = 0
You have to multiply the coefficient and add the exponents of the variables
