Ryan and Sarah collect baseball cards. Ryan has 150 baseball cards and collects 10 cards per week. Sarah has 233 baseball cards and collects 5 cards per week. After about how many weeks will Ryan and Sarah have the same number of cards?

About 17 weeks

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Ryan:

(weekly)

Sarah:

(weekly)

Required

Determine the number of weeks they have the same cards

Represent the number of weeks with w:

For Both individuals, number of card at any given week is:

So,

For Ryan, the expression is:

For Sarah, the expression is:

To determine the number of weeks, we have to equate both equations:

Collect Like Terms

Solve for w

16.6 implies about 17 weeks, because 16.6 approximates to 17

Conclusively, Ryan and Sarah will have the same number of balls in about 17 weeks

yes

step-by-step explanation:

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet

step-by-step explanation:

let's assume length of parallelogram is 'l'

width of parallelogram is 'w'

the perimeter of a parallelogram must be no less than 40 feet

so, we get

we are given

length of parallelogram is 6 feet

so,

l=6

we can plug it

now, we can solve for w

subtract both sides by 12

divide both sides by 2

and we get

so,

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet
