Another Math Problem.... (WORD PROBLEM)
« on: February 08, 2010, 08:13:05 PM »
Supose you are starting an office-cleaning service.  You have spent $315 on equipment.  To clean an office, you spend $4 worth of supplies.  You charge $25 per office.  How many offices must you clean to break even?

ive got more...

4. On a canoe trip, Rita paddled upstream (against the current) at an
average speed of 2 mi/h relative to the riverbank. On the return trip
downstream (with the current), her average speed was 3 mi/h. Find
Rita’s paddling speed in still water and the speed of the river’s current.

5. Kay spends 250 min/wk exercising. Her ratio of time spent on aerobics
to time spent on weight training is 3 to 2. How many minutes per week
does she spend on aerobics? How many minutes per week does she
spend on weight training?

does she spend on aerobics? How many minutes per week does she

4 i dont get cause it been awhile since i done these but 5 is simple 3n+ 2n =250
so the answer is 150 on aerobics and 100 on weight training
