Jessica can paint 12 rocks in 8 minutes. How many rocks can she paint in 48 minutes

72 rocks.

Step-by-step explanation:

A "easier" way to find out the answer, is to find how much rocks Jessica paints in 1 minute.

Divide 12 with 8:

12/8 = 1.5

Next, multiply the number you got (1.5) with 48:

48 x 1.5 = 72

Jessica can paint 72 rocks in 48 minutes.

total of apples - take away four

6-4 = 2

answer is 2 apples

let's call the solutions x₁ = (5 - 2√7)/3 and x₂ = (5 + 2√7)/3

then the equation is (x-x₁)(x-x₂) = 0

if you fill that in you get a lot of numbers which you can recognize as ax²+bx+c=0.

step-by-step explanation:

you can see that a=1 (there is just an x²)

b = (-5 -2√7 + 2√7 - 5)/3 = -10/3

c = -2√7)/3 ) * (-5+2√7)/3) = -1/3

so your answer is 3x^2 – 10x – 1 = 0
