To find out how much each person paid, we need to divide the total cost of the boat by the number of friends.

Therefore, each person paid $452.
A doctor sees each of her patients for 15 minutes. How many patients can she see in 4-1/2 hours?

what is correct?
To find out how many patients the doctor can see in 4-1/2 hours, we need to convert 4-1/2 hours into minutes and then divide by 15.

4-1/2 hours can be converted to minutes by multiplying by 60:

4-1/2 hours = 4.5 hours * 60 minutes/hour = 270 minutes

Now, we divide the total minutes by the time spent with each patient:

270 minutes / 15 minutes/patient = 18 patients

Therefore, the doctor can see 18 patients in 4-1/2 hours.
A motorcycle was bought for $4,375.00. Later it was sold for $452.25 less than the buying price. What was the selling price?\

what Is correct?
To find the selling price, we need to subtract $452.25 from the buying price.

Selling price = Buying price - $452.25

Selling price = $4,375.00 - $452.25

Selling price = $3,922.75

Therefore, the selling price of the motorcycle would be $3,922.75.
A baker can decorate 5 cakes in 3 hours. How many cakes can he decorate in 4 days if he works 9 hours each day?

what is correct?
To find out how many cakes the baker can decorate in 4 days, we need to calculate the total number of hours he will work and then divide by the time it takes to decorate one cake.

In 4 days, the baker works for 9 hours each day, so the total number of hours worked is 4 days * 9 hours/day = 36 hours.

If the baker can decorate 5 cakes in 3 hours, we can set up a proportion to find out how many cakes he can decorate in 36 hours:

5 cakes / 3 hours = x cakes / 36 hours

Cross-multiplying:

3 * x cakes = 5 * 36 hours

3x = 180

Dividing both sides by 3:

x = 60

Therefore, the baker can decorate 60 cakes in 4 days if he works 9 hours each day.
