At work, Mr. Grinnell receives 20 phone calls every 60 minutes. How many calls should he expect to receive in 180 minutes? 60
80
100
40

Use a ratio.

20/60 = x/180

180/60 = 3, so 20*3 is 60.

The answer is 60.

60

Step-by-step explanation:

Find out how many phone calls Mr. Grinnell receives in 1 minute.

60 mins = 20

1 min = 20 ÷ 60 = 0.333

180 mins = 0.333 x 180 = 59.94

59.94 rounded to the nearest whole number = 60

{x = -1/2 ,   y = -1

step-by-step explanation:

solve the following system:

{2 x + y = -2

{10 x - 3 y = -2

in the first equation, look to solve for y:

{2 x + y = -2

{10 x - 3 y = -2

subtract 2 x from both sides:

{y = -2 x - 2

{10 x - 3 y = -2

substitute y = -2 x - 2 into the second equation:

{y = -2 x - 2

{10 x - 3 (-2 x - 2) = -2

10 x - 3 (-2 x - 2) = (6 x + 6) + 10 x = 16 x + 6:

{y = -2 x - 2

{16 x + 6 = -2

in the second equation, look to solve for x:

{y = -2 x - 2

{16 x + 6 = -2

subtract 6 from both sides:

{y = -2 x - 2

{16 x = -8

divide both sides by 16:

{y = -2 x - 2

{x = -1/2

substitute x = -1/2 into the first equation:

{y = -1

{x = -1/2

collect results in alphabetical order:

answer:   {x = -1/2 ,   y = -1
