Given that a company budgeted 5 1/4 hours to complete a project, determine how much time they spent on research if they spent 1/3 of the total budget.

First, convert the budget from hours into minutes.

5 1/4 hours = 315 minutes

1 hour = 60 min

1/4 hour = 15 min

60 x 5 = 300

300 + 15 = 315

Then, divide the minutes by 3 or multiply it by 1/3.

315 / 3 = 105

315 x 1/3 = 105

Lastly convert to a mixed number.

1 3/4 hour

Thus, the company plans to spend 1 3/4 hours or 1 hour and 45 minutes on research.

Anyone got the answers for b and c

BaLLatris [955]

For letter b:

First times 5 on both sides to get rid of the denominator of 5

5 * y
— = 4 * 5
5

Then the answer is

y = 20

For letter c:

First move constants on one side, variables on the other

2g = 17 - 8

Then collect like terms:

2g = 9

Then divide both sides which would equal:

g = 9/2
