First it would be 135/1000. Then you'd have to simplify.
Simplified, it would be 27/200.
I can't see it clearly the questions ?
Answer:
There were 7 small boxes and 14 large boxes shipped.
Step-by-step explanation:
This problem may be solved by a system of equations:
I am going to say that:
x is the number of small boxes used
y is the number of large boxes used
There were twice as many large boxes shipped as small boxes shipped
This means that y = 2x
Each small box of paper weighs 45 pounds and each large box of paper weighs 80 pounds. The total weight of all boxes was 1435 pounds.
This means that 45x + 80y =1435
So we have to solve the following system:
y=2x
45x + 80y =1435
45x + 80 (2x) = 1435
205x = 1435
x= 1435/205
x=7
y=2x= 2(7) = 14
There were 7 small boxes and 14 large boxes shipped.
Answer:
390 ft²
Step-by-step explanation:
The longer base of a trapezoid is 8 ft. The longer base of a similar trapezoid is 13 ft. The area of the smaller trapezoid is 240 ft² What is the area of the larger trapezoid?
We solve the above question using proportion
(Longer base/Area of trapezoid) smaller trapezoid = (Longer base/Area of trapezoid) bigger trapezoid
Let the the Area of the bigger trapezoid = x
Hence,
= 8ft/240ft = 13ft/x ft
Cross Multiply
8ft × x = 240ft × 13ft
x = 240ft² × 12 ft/8 ft
x = 390 ft²
