Answer:
3:22
Step-by-step explanation:
there are three peaches, so the peach value of the peaches in the will be three
adding all the other fruits gives you 22, so the value of the total in the ratio is 22
therefore the ratio is 3 peaches to 22 fruits
which is expressed as
3:22
To find the solutions, set the equation equal to 0. You get
. We are going to factor our things that both terms have in common, a 2, and an x. This gives you
. How do you know this is true? If you distribute back out, you get the same as the original problem.
Now set these both equal to zero. 2x = 0, 2x + 17 = 0. Divide both sides by 2, you get one solultion of x = 0. For the other solution, subtract 17 from both sides; 2x = - 17. Divide by 2, x = -17/2
Your solutions are x = {- 17/2, 0}
To check, plug these back into the original equation to see if they equal zero. 4(0)^2 + 34(0) = 0 + 0 = 0
4(- 17/2)^2 + 34(- 17/2) = 289 + (- 289) = 289 - 289 = 0
(5 cups)/(2.5 days) = (2 cups)/(1 day)
<u><em>
. . . answer is 2 cups</em></u>
