Cora watched 30 movies for a combined total of 55 hours over her last summer break. Some of the movies were 1.5 hours long, and others were 2.5 hours long.
How many of Cora's movies were 2.5 hours long?


Sagot :

The number of movies that are 2.5 hours long that Cora watched is 10 hours.

What are the linear equations that represent this question?

a + b = 30 equation 1

1.5a + 2.5b = 55 equation 2

Where:

a = movies that are 1.5 hours long

b = movies that are 2.5 hours long

How many movies are 2.5 hours long?

Multiply  equation 1 by 1.5

1.5a + 1.5b = 45  equation 3

Subtract equation 3 from 2

1b = 10 hours
