Question

Raquel gets paid $75 per week to mow 8 yards. Which equation would represent how to compute her wage for each yard?

8 over 75 = x over 1

75 over 7 = x over 1

75 over 7 = 8 over x

75 over 8 = x over 1

75 over 8 = x over 1

Answer 2

Jesse uses 13 pints of paint for 5 paintings. How many pints does he use for each painting? How many paintings will he complete if he uses 44 pints? How many pints will he need for 29 paintings?

Answer 3

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

To find out how many pints of paint Jesse uses for each painting, we divide the total pints by the number of paintings:

13 pints / 5 paintings = 2.6 pints per painting

If he uses 44 pints, we divide the total pints by the pints per painting:

44 pints / 2.6 pints per painting ≈ 16.92 paintings

Since he can't complete a fraction of a painting, he will complete 16 paintings if he uses 44 pints.

For 29 paintings, we multiply the number of paintings by the pints per painting:

29 paintings * 2.6 pints per painting = 75.4 pints

Again, since he can't use a fraction of a pint, he will need 75 pints for 29 paintings.
