Requested and I think it's a good idea. Ask for help with homework here.

Would average speed in pages per hour mean to round my answer to the closest whole number?

Oh I just figured out how to do my cousin's math problem LOL

I'm so smart.

Pages per hour? What's the context?

Yes pages per hour. And I got 33 and 2 thirds... Would i round?

You'll have to type out the question

Sharon read 380 pages in 3 days. Each day she read 4 hours and then stopped. What was her average speed in pages per hour for the 2 days she read.
I divided 380 by 2 and got 190 then I divided 190 by 8 and got 23 and two thirds.

@Nobody: Um, 3 days or 2 days? If it's two days, then 23 and three fourths, not two thirds.

0kay thank you, do I need to round.

0kay thank you, do I need to round.

This is for History: how do you define life?

@Nobody: I don't think so, not for average speed.

how do you draw a pentagonal pyramid.... .____.

... You divided by 8? Eh? I can't follow your math *slinks away*

A pyramid with 4 faces and a base. Right? That makes 5 faces total?

Someone told me that it was a pyramid with a pentagon as the base and four faces....?

I mean five faces.

Found itttt never mind >.<

Oh yeah. That sounds better. In my defense I haven't taken geometry in a while... And we don't talk about pyramids in the trig study of my pre calculus class.

2.The cost of Mrs jones electric bill decreased by 10%to $158 this month.What was the cost of her bill last month?

5. Tammy wanted to have a Halloween party and infinite some friends over. For 15 friends she figured she would need to spend $6.00 per person for food and drinks. If the number of friends that was 20% more than expected, then how much more would the amount budgeted for food increase?

7. At his weekly football training weigh in, Grant noticed that the scale showed 0.454 kilograms. He weighs 72.64 kilograms, but needs to know his weight in pounds. Write a proportion that Grant use to out how many pounds he weighs.

I hate geometry -_-

Nobody I would help you but I'd need a pencil and paper and I'm in the car.

What happened to the "x-12=0 solve for x" days?

Nobody #2 is $1.20.


You have to set x over 6 and 20 over 100. Cross multiply, divide, and poof. I think...

If it's 6$ per person, it would be 90$ for 15 people?? 20% is three, so there's 18 people. And that would be 108$... 18$.....?

XD *maths in head* x=8264837637 jk no

I think it's asking for the cost of her bill last month, not how much it decreased by....

You would add $1.20 for each person no? I don't know I'm naturally blonde and I'm dumb.

For #2? It's asking for her bill last month??

2.The cost of Mrs jones electric bill decreased by 10%to $158 this month.What was the cost of her bill last month?

XD I meant #5

she would need to spend $6.00 per person

So 15 people would cost 90$... because 6$*15 is 90....?

She has to increase her budget to $7.20 because 20% more people show up so overall it will be $108.

Oops
Didn't do that xD

I think #2 is about $173.

@Nobody Question about 7... At his weekly football training weigh in, Grant noticed that the scale showed 0.454 kilograms. He weighs 72.64 kilograms, but needs to know his weight in pounds. Write a proportion that Grant use to out how many pounds he weighs. Is where it says he weighs 72.64 kilograms, is that supposed to be pounds? Because if not then it does not give you all the info needed to solve it.
