Rate of Speed Formula

The formula for velocity, or rate of speed, is r = d ÷ t, where r represents rate of speed, d represents distance, and t represents time. For example, if an object travels 12 feet in 10 seconds, you can find its rate of speed by using the formula.
r = d ÷ t
r = 12 ÷ 10
r = 1.2 feet per second
Use division and the formula for rate of speed to solve.

Explanation:
paintbrushes = $0.95
Paint = $0.99
If she buys 2 paint brushes and 2 paints, she spent $1.9 for paintbrushes and $1.98 for 2 paints. The remaining amount is $0.99. So, she can buy one more paint with them. So, she can buy 2 paint brushes and 3 jars of paint.

Question 25.
C. Isabella spends less than $14.00 for glass beads, paintbrushes, poster board, and paint. She spends $1.68 on beads and $3.96 on paint. She buys more than 3 poster boards and more than 3 paintbrushes. Find how many ounces of glass beads and how many jars of paint she buys. Then, suggest the number of poster boards and paintbrushes she might buy for the total spent.
Type below:
_________

Answer:
Isabella spends less than $14.00 for glass beads, paintbrushes, poster board, and paint.
She spends $1.68 on beads and $3.96 on paint.
Each beads = $0.28
$1.68/$0.28 = 6 beads
Each paint = $0.99
$3.96/$0.99 = 4 paints
$14 – ($1.68 + $3.96) = $8.36.
So, $8.36 needs to spend on more than 3 poster boards and more than 3 paintbrushes.
So, Each poster board = $0.75
paintbrushes = $0.95
If she buys more than 3, 3 x $0.75 = $2.25
$0.95 x 3 = $2.85
$2.25 + $2.85 = $5.1
So, $8.36 – $5.1 = $3.26
If $0.75 x 3 = $2.25
$0.95 x 1 = $0.95
$2.25 + $0.95 = 3.2
So, she can buy 3 + 3 = 6 poster boards
and 3 + 1 = 4 paintbrushes.
