Question

Please write and solve an equivalent equation without decimals!

Aaron wants to exercise 10.5 hours this week. He has already jogged a total of 4.5 hours. He will use the rest of his time playing racquetball. He spends 0.75 hours per game. How many games does Aaron need to play to reach his goal?

Answer 1

4.5 + 0.75g = 10.5.....u want the decimals gone...multiply everything by 100

450 + 75g = 1050
75g = 1050 - 450
75g = 600
g = 600/75
g = 8....so he can play 8 games

Answer 2

2.05 games is how much Aaron needs to play
