Let p = weight of papaya and g = weight of grapes.

Then (3/4)g = (3/5)p.  Since the weight of grapes is x + 28, 

(3/4)(x + 28) = (3/5)p.  We must solve for x.  To do this, mult. both sides by (5/3):

(5/3)(3/4)(x+28) = (5/3)(3/5)p

Then p = (15/9)(x+28), or (after reduction), p = (5/3)(x+28).

If a carpet is advertised at $20 per square yard, what is the cost per square foot?
coldgirl [10]

Answer:

$2.22

Step-by-step explanation:

3 ft = 1 yd, so (3ft)^2 = (1yd)^2.  Thus, 1 yd^2 = 9 ft^2

$20 / 1yd^2 = ($20 / 1yd^2)(1yd^2 / 9ft^2) = <u>$2.22 per square foot</u>

<u />

^ = to the power of...

yd = yard

ft = foot

HELP OR I EAT YOUR COOKIES (5TH GRADE MATH)
fgiga [73]

The answer is 6.252 pounds.

2 1/2 as a decimal is 2.5, and 15 ounces is equal to 0.938 pounds. Since there are 4 notebooks, you multiply 0.938 by 4, which is 3.752. Now, you just add 2.5+3.752=6.252
