Answer:
<em>About 900 cans not stamped in 3 hours</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Proportions</u>
Sally found that 150 cans were not stamped in the 1/2 hour trial run.
Following the same proportion in time, we can say:
150 cans not stamped in 1/2 hour. Multiplying by 2:
300 cans not stamped in 1 hour. Multiplying by 3:
900 cans not stamped in 3 hours
About 900 cans not stamped in 3 hours
Let x = state b , then x + 2 = state a
now: x + (x +2) = 9090 or 2x + 2 = 9090 Solving this equation:
2x + 2 = 9090 subtract 2 from both sides
2x = 9088 divide both sides by 2
x = 4544
that means x + 2 = 4546
so state a = 4546 and state b = 4544
Answer:
100 red bricks
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's say red bricks is equal to 5x
Gray bricks is equal to 2x
We have an equation
2x + 5x = 140
= 7x = 140
Divide through by 7 to get the value of x
X = 140/7
X = 20
Red bricks = 5(x)
= 5(20)
= 100
Gray bricks = 2(x)
= 2(20)
= 40
Therefore in conclusion the number of red bricks is 100.
The unit rate for that equation is .33
