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?

315 + 4n = 25n
21n = 315
n=15 offices

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?

Okay first of all. I can't do math. The only math that I can do is Add and Subtract and I am also 18 and that is all I can do. Dammit I am a Dumbass!

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
