Question

32. Exercise Ahmit gets

exercise on the weekend by
working around the house.
On Saturday, he worked for
3 hours mowing the lawn and
raking leaves; He burned
885 Calories.
a. Write a system of
equations that can be used
to describe the amount
of time Ahmit worked and
the number of Calories
he burned by mowing
and raking
b. Determine how much time Ahmit spent on mowing and raking.

Answer 1

To describe the amount of time Ahmit worked and the number of calories he burned by mowing and raking, we can use the system of equations x = 3 and y = 885. Ahmit spent 3 hours mowing and raking.

Step-by-step explanation:

To describe the amount of time Ahmit worked and the number of calories he burned by mowing and raking, we can use the following system of equations:

x = number of hours worked

y = number of calories burned

In this case, x represents the number of hours Ahmit worked and y represents the number of calories he burned. We can use the given information to set up the equations:

Equation 1: x = 3

Equation 2: y = 885

To determine the amount of time Ahmit spent on mowing and raking, we need to find the value of x. From Equation 1, we know that x = 3. So, Ahmit spent 3 hours mowing and raking.

Answer 2

X: time mowing lawn (325 Cal/hour)

Y:time raking leaves (275 Cal/hour)

325X + 275Y = 885

3 - X = Y

(1.2 hours mowing the lawn, 1.8 hours raking leaves)

Step-by-step explanation:

you forgot to include vital information. When ahmit rakes leaves, he loses 275 calories per hour. When he mows the lawn, he loses 325 calories per hour according to the textbook you got this from. If he works for 3 hours, you need to find the portion of each activity he did by working backwards from the total calories lost, 885.
