Answer:
0.3 galloons of water.
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that 1/5 galloons of water fills 2/3 of the bin.
So, we can write the following fraction:
We want to find how many galloons will fill the entire bin or 1 whole bin. So, we can write the following proportion:
To find our answer, we need to solve for x.
So, let's cross-multiply. This yields:
Multiply both sides by 3:
The left side simplifies. Multiply on the right:
Now, multiply both sides by 1/2:
Simplify the left. Multiply on the right:
So, 3/10 of 0.3 of a gallon of water will fill the entire bin.
And we're done!
9 goes into 67, 7 times, with a remainder of 4. So we would get
W=x
L=2x+17
Double everything since we need to lengths and two widths to find the perimeter
2x+17+2x+17+x+x = 76
Combine like terms
6x+34=76
Solve for x
First step is subtract 34 from both sides
6x=42
Next you divide both sides by 6 in order to get x by itself
X=7
Now you plug in 7 into the x’s in length and width
W=7 cm
L=31 cm
THE WIDTH IS 31 CM
Check:
7+7+31+31 = 76 cm
It equals 76 cm just like the problem said so therefore it is right.
If order doesn't matter (e.g. all the positions in the committee are essentially identical) then the number of possible choices is
