5.8 ounces of oat can be bought for $4.35

<h3>Ratio and proportion</h3>

Fractions are written as the ratio of two expression

According to the question a pound of rolled oats costs $12, this can be expressed as;

1 pound of oat = $12

since 1 pound = 16 ounces, hence;

16 ounces = $12

Determine the amount bought for $4.35

x = $4.35

16/x = 12/4.35

12x = 69.6

x = 5.8 ounces

Hence 5.8 ounces of oat can be bought for $4.35

A dealer gains 16% by selling a mop for rs.78300.but due to competition in the market, he decides to make a profit of only 10%.

vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

The correct answer is - 72,349.2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

selling price = 7234.92

Initial profit = 16%

we know:

selling price = cost price + profit

Solution:

78300 = cp + 16*cp/100

profit = 78300*16/100 = 12528

cost price = 78300 - 12528 = 65772

then the profit on 10%

= 65772*10/100

= 6577.2

the new selling price = 65772+6577.2

= 72,349.2

Your friend says that the absolute value equation | 3x+8 |-9=-5 has no solution because the constant

sineoko [7]

Answer:

Incorrect

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the equation:

$\displaystyle \large{|3x+8|-9=-5}$

Add both sides by 9.

$\displaystyle \large{|3x+8|-9 + 9=-5 + 9} \\ \displaystyle \large{|3x+8|=4}$

When we want to tell if the absolute equation has solutions or not, we have to simplify in this form first: or isolate the absolute sign.

$\displaystyle \large{ |ax + b| = c}$

If c ≥ 0, the equation has solutions.

If c < 0, the equation does not have solutions.

Therefore, it does not always matter if the constant on right side is in negative because if there is a number on the left side then there is a chance that the equation has solutions.

From |3x+8| = 4 is equivalent |3x+8|-9=-5 and the right side is 4 which is positive.

Hence, the equation does have a solution!

Can someone plz help me I’m being timed hurry!!!!!!!!

Answer:

1. 14 = 2 + 12

2. 16 = 4 + 12

3. 18 = 6 + 12

4. 20 = 8 + 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Super easy. All you do is replace the numbers in your table with the corresponding letter. In this case we have a table of s and f.

Example for row two: f = s + 12. Replace s with 4 ( 4 is from your s column so you would replace it with that) then solve and plug in your answer (When you solve your answer, it will go under f column).16 = 4 + 12 . f = 16, s = 4.

Formula = f = s + 12.

1. 14 = 2 + 12

2. 16 = 4 + 12

3. 18 = 6 + 12

4. 20 = 8 + 12

a glacier receded 4 feet a day for a period of 25 days. how much shorter was the glacier at the end of the period.

dangina [55]

Alright, lets get started.

In the question given that glacier receded 4 feet a day for a period of 25 days.

Which shows in 1 day, it recedes = 4 feet

means in 1 day, the height of the glacier gets shorter = 4 feet

So, in 25 days, the height of the glacier gets shorter = 4 * 25

So, in 25 days, the height of the glacier gets shorter $= 100$ feet

It means the glacier will get 100 feet shorter at the end of the period of 25 days. : Answer

Hope it will help :)
