5 answers

To find the amount of Aaron's next paycheck, we need to calculate his total earnings for the 4-week period and then add the raise.

First, we calculate Aaron's earnings per hour: $7.25/hour

Next, we find the total number of hours Aaron works in 4 weeks: 3.5 hours/week * 4 weeks = 14 hours

Now, we calculate Aaron's total earnings before the raise: $7.25/hour * 14 hours = $101.50

Finally, we add the raise of $1 to Aaron's total earnings: $101.50 + $1 = $102.50

Therefore, Aaron's next paycheck will be $102.50.
Jason is saving up for a skateboard and helmet. The skateboard is $45.50 with tax and the helmet is $18.25 with tax. He earned 1/3 of the money mowing lawns and the rest by babysitting. How much did Jason earn babysitting?
Let's assume Jason earned x dollars babysitting.

Jason earned 1/3 of the money through mowing lawns, so he earned 1/3 * (45.50 + 18.25) = 1/3 * 63.75 = 21.25 dollars mowing lawns.

Since Jason earned x dollars babysitting and a total of 21.25 dollars mowing lawns, the combined amount he earned is x + 21.25 dollars.

He needs to earn a total of 45.50 + 18.25 = 63.75 dollars for the skateboard and helmet.

Therefore, the equation to solve for x is: x + 21.25 = 63.75

Subtracting 21.25 from both sides of the equation: x = 63.75 - 21.25 = 42.50

Jason earned $42.50 babysitting.
Jerry was using a recipe for a large cake that require 1/3 of a tablespoon of cinnamon instead of making one large cake jury decides he’s a recipe for Smallcakes how much cinnamon what she used for each of the four small cakes
If the recipe calls for 1/3 of a tablespoon of cinnamon for one large cake, then to make four small cakes, we need to divide the amount of cinnamon required by 4.

1/3 tablespoon of cinnamon divided by 4 equals (1/3) ÷ 4 = 1/12 tablespoon of cinnamon.

Therefore, Jerry would need 1/12 tablespoon of cinnamon for each of the four small cakes.
