Answer 2

Answer:

$124.

Jason- 20$ more than Darcy

Maria- Twice as much as Jason

Darcy- 20$ less than half of Maria's sum.

Step-by-step explanation:

After I had written the page below, I came back up here and realized there was a much easier way.

268/2 = 134

Since the 20 Is added after, half is subtracted and you end up with

124!!

Now for my explanation done first, typed and read as I figured it out.

First and mostly, we need to find what Darcy starts with.

Let's say that Darcy has 5 dollars, to start somewhere easy. That would mean that Jason has 25 dollars since he has 20 more than her. That would mean that Maria would have 50 dollars, and the looted sum is 80.

Since that is less than a quarter of our end goal of 268$, I raised Darcy's initial amount of money to 15 to triple her money.

Math revised here- 15+20= (35*2) 70= 120

15+35+70

Since that is too low, I'm adding it to 30$.

Math revised again here- 30+20=(50*2)=100= 180

30+50+100

5 15 30

80 120 180

That is a chart determining our answers so far. There is no clear pattern, so let us continue.

Darcy starts with 50 dollars for this one.

50+20=(70*2)=140

50+70+140

260.

We are close to the sum.

Darcy starts with $52

52+20(72*2)= 144

52+72+144

268!

This means we have found how much Darcy has, and since Jason's amount depends on her, we have found both of their sums!

1.Subtract the number 25 from both sides then divide by 8. So 53/8
2. Subtract 48 from both sides then divide by 10 So 5.2 or 52/10
3. Subtract 5 divide by 20. So 4.75 or 95/20

Which of the following best defines the quantities that should be measured to find Andy driving speed?The quantity of time measured in hours depends on the quantity of distance measures in miles
The quantity of distance measures in miles depends on the quantity of time measures in hours
The quantity of time measured in minutes depends on the quantity of speed measured in feet
The quantity of speed measured in feet depends on the quantity of time measured in minutes

Answers

I believe the answer is B.) The quantity of distance measures in miles depends on the quantity of time measures in hours. This is because when trying to find speed a person must know the distance and the time that the object/person traveled that distance which the time is mostly measured in hours.
I hope I helped!

I think its B because you measure distance on the road in miles, you don't measure how far you went by hours. And the quantity of time does not measure in miles, but hours.
