5bridesmaids want to make 325 decorations for a wedding. each decoration takes about 212 minutes to make. which response gives the best estimate for the amount of time each bridesmaid will spend making decorations?

If each decoration takes 212 minutes the answer is 13,780.

If each decoration takes 2 1/2 minutes (more likely) the answer is 162.5 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume each decoration takes 212 minutes.

There are 5 bridesmaids to make 325 decorations; this means each bridesmaid should make

325/5 = 65 decorations.

If each decoration takes 212 minutes, this would be

65*212 = 13780 minutes.

If, however, each decoration takes 2 1/2 minutes (more likely), this would be

65(2.5) = 162.5 minutes.

mr. flanders’ class sold 47 doughnuts and   mr. rodriquez’s class sold 38 cartons of milk

step-by-step explanation:

let x be the number of doughnuts sold by mr. flanders’ class and y be the number of cartons sold by mr. rodriquez’s class.

1. together, the classes sold 85 items, then

x+y=85.

2. both classes earn earned $104.49 for their school. if doughnuts were sold for $1.35 each, then x doughnuts costed $1.35x. if cartons of milk were sold for $1.08 each, then y cartons costed $1.08y. hence,

1.35x+1.08y=104.49.

3. solve the system of two equations:
