Use a system of linear equations with two variables and two equations to solve. 205 students enrolled in a freshman-level chemistry class. By the end of the semester, 4 times the number of students passed as failed. Find the number of students who passed, and the number of students who failed.

passed: 164

failed: 41

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the failed students be x, then the passed students will be 4x.

x + 4x = 205

x = 205/5 = 41

4x = 4*41 = 164

0.32

step-by-step explanation:

2.24/7

1,407.5 hours

step-by-step explanation:

we first convert all the time to hours and then sum them up.

there are 24 hours in 1 day, in 58 days, there are 24 x 58 = 1,392 hours.

there are 60 minutes in 1 hour, thus, 30 minutes will be equivalent to 30 / 60 = 0.5 hours.

therefore, the number of hours it will take mercury to complete a full rotation is 1,392 + 15 + 0.5 = 1,407.5 hours
