2/3 gas tank cuts 3 lawns how many does 1 gas tank cut

1 answer:

8 0

(2/3) / 3 = 1/x...2/3 to 3 lawns = 1 to x lawns
cross multiply
(2/3)(x) = (3)(1)
2/3x = 3
x = 3 * 3/2
x = 9/2 or 4 1/2 lawns can be cut with a full tank of gas

There are 6 yellow hexagons 2 red trapezoids and 9 green triangles how many flowers could you make if they were changed 30 yello

Zinaida [17]

Answer:

<h3>a) 5 flowers</h3><h3>b) Trapezoid</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

For one flower, the following shapes are used;

6 yellow hexagons, 2 red trapezoids and 9 green triangles

If we are given 30 yellow hexagons 50 red trapezoids and 60 green triangles, to get the number of flowers we can make, we will find the greatest common factor of 30, 50 and 60

30 = 6*5

50 = (2*5)+40

60 = (9*5)+15

We can see that 5 is common to all the factors. This means that we can make 5 flowers if they were changed to 30 yellow hexagons 50 red trapezoids and 60 green triangles.

Since there are 40 trapezoids left and 15 green triangles left, hence the shape that would have n as left over most is trapezoid (40 left over)

Two ratios that are equivalent to 5/7

grigory [225]

You could pick just about anything 3/8 is not the same thing as 5/7 and neither is 3/4

Something that is equivalent would be something like 10/14 or 20/28

You go shopping at a local department store with your friend and cousin. You buy one pair of jeans, four pairs of shorts, and tw

VashaNatasha [74]

Answer: Cost per pair of jeans = $ 20

Cost per pair of shorts = $12

Cost per shirt = $8

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x= cost per pair of jeans

y = Cost per pair of shorts

z= cost per shirt.

For you, total cost = x+4y+2z= 84

For your friend, total cost = 2x+y+3z=76

For cousin, total cost = x+2y+z= 52

Required system:

$x+4y+2z=84\ (i)\\ 2x+y+3z=76\ (ii)\\ x+2y+z=52\ (iii)$

from (i), $x=84-4y-2z$ (*)

put this in (ii) and (iii) we get

$2\left(84-4y-2z\right)+y+3z=76\\\Rightarrow\ -7y-z+168=76\ (iv)\\\\ 84-4y-2z+2y+z=52\\\Rightarrow\ -2y-z+84=52 \ (v)$

from (iv), $y=-\frac{z-92}{7}\ (vi)$

$\mathrm{Subsititute\:}y=-\frac{z-92}{7}\ \text{in}\ (v)$

$-2\left(-\frac{z-92}{7}\right)-z+84=52\\\\\Rightarrow\ -2\left(-\frac{z-92}{7}\right)-z=-32\\\\\Rightarrow\ -\frac{5z}{7}-\frac{184}{7}=-32\\\\\Rightarrow\ -5z-184=-224\\\\\Rightarrow\ -5z=-40\\\\\Rightarrow\ z=8$
