Question 75642: Hello out there,I have some problems that I need help with that involves different problem solving,the first problem is,If there are 8 furlongs in a mile,how many miles are there in 30 furlongs?The next one is,Erica can read 180 pages in 4 hours.At the same rate,how many pages can she read in 7 hours?The next one is,The profits made by Happenin' Hats depend on the number of hats they sell.If the company's weekly expenses are $2250 and they charge $45 per hat,their profits "p" can be calculated by the equation p=45n-2250, where "n" is the number of hats sold.Write this relation in functional notation.And the last one is,Mr. Calvillo wants to enclose a rectangular area for a garden space of given square footage.The length of the plot will vary inversely as the width.If he decides on a width of 18 feet,the garden will be 30 feet long.How long will 45 foot wide garden be?Thanks to whoever helps me.

You can put this solution on YOUR website! If there are 8 furlongs in a mile, how many miles are there in 30 furlongs?
:
Miles = Furlongs/8
:
:
Erica can read 180 pages in 4 hours.At the same rate,how many pages can she read in 7 hours?
:
Using ratio:
 = 
Cross multiply and solve for p
:
:
The profits made by Happenin' Hats depend on the number of hats they sell.
If the company's weekly expenses are $2250 and they charge $45 per hat,their
profits "p" can be calculated by the equation p=45n-2250, where "n" is the
number of hats sold.
Write this relation in functional notation.
p = f(n)
f(n) = 45n - 2250

Mr. Calvillo wants to enclose a rectangular area for a garden space of given square footage.The length of the plot will vary inversely as the width.If he decides on a width of 18 feet,the garden will be 30 feet long.How long will 45 foot wide garden be?
:
The two plots will have the same square footage, make an equation from that:
Plot 1: 18*30 = 540 sq ft
Plot 2: 45*L = 540 sq ft
:
Plot2 area = Plot1 area
45L = 540
L = 540/45
L = 12 ft
:
Check: 12*45 = 540
