At a graduation ceremony, names were read at the rate of five names per minute. If the names had been read at the rate of seven names per minute, the ceremony would have taken 24 minutes less. How many names were read?

420 names were read

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the information given to us to answer the question correctly:

Rate of names read per minute at the graduation ceremony = 5

2. If the names had been read at the rate of seven names per minute, the ceremony would have taken 24 minutes less. How many names were read?

x = Number of minutes it takes to read the names at the rate of seven names per minute

x + 24 = Number of minutes it takes to read the names at the rate of five names per minute

Solving for x:

5 * (x + 24) = 7x

5x + 120 = 7x

5x - 7x = -120 (Subtracting 120 and 7x at both sides)

-2x = -120

x = -120/-2

x = 60 ⇒ 7x = 420

420 names were read

the least value out of the data shown is 5, maybe if you post a picture with it i could a little more.

step-by-step explanation:

from the figure we get,

the x axis shows   the months and,

the y-axis shows the number of satisfied customer.

each line or each cell in upward direction (y-axis) shows 500.

the appropriate scale for the y - axis is: -

a = 2000 customers

b = 4000 customers

c = 6000 customers

d = 8000 customers

e = 10000 customers

f = 12000 customers

g = 14000 customers
