Answer
24 quarts of green paint should be mixed with 4 cups of black paint.
That is (96 cups)
Step by step explanation
Jasper Green mix 4 quarts of green paint with 2/3 cups of black paint.
Let's convert 4 quarts into cups.
1 quart = 4 cups
4 quarts = 16 cups
Here mix 16 cups of green paint with 2/3 cups of black paint.
Let's use the proportion
Green paint Black paint
16 2/3
x 4
16/x =2/3 divided by 4
Cross multiplying, we get
16*4 = 2/3 x
64 = 2/3 x
x = 64/(2/3)
x = 64 * 3/2
x = 192/2
x = 96 cups
96 cups of green paint should be mixed with 4 cups of black paint.
We can covert 96 cups into quarts by dividing by 4
96/4 = 24 quarts
24 quarts of green paint should be mixed with 4 cups of black paint.
Thank you.
Answer:
99 minutes, or an hour and 39 minutes.
Step-by-step explanation:
It takes Emma 18 minutes to do 14 pages. That means that we can set up a proportion, where Emma uses 18 minutes to do 14 pages, which is equal to x minutes per page!
14x = 18
7x = 9
x = 9/7
So, each page takes 9/7 minutes for Emma to finish.
She will do 77 pages. 77 * (9/7) = 11 * 9 = 99.
So, it will take Emma 99 minutes, or an hour and 39 minutes, to type and spell check 77 pages.
Hope this helps!
