You will use the ratio 4:8 to create a part to part to whole ratio.
First simplify 4:8 to 1:2, then make it 1:2:3 (Salt:Sugar:Total).
Use this to find the volume of sugar. 2 sugars for every 3 total would be equivalent to 200 cubic feet of sugar for every 300 total cubic feet.
Answer:
Cody has solved (12 × 12) = 144 problems.
Step-by-step explanation:
For every one problem that Julia completes, Cody completes twelve.
If Julia Completes x problems and Cody completes y problems, then we can write y = 12x ........ (1)
Now, given that the number of problems solved by Cody is one hundred twenty more than two times the number of problems solved by Julia.
Hence, 2x + 120 = y ......... (2)
Now, from equations (1) and (2) we get,
2x + 120 = 12x
⇒ 10x = 120
⇒ x = 12
Therefore, Cody has solved (12 × 12) = 144 problems. (Answer)
Answer:575
Step-by-step explanation: deltamath
[x-1]=5x+10
We have two equations:
1) x-1=5x+10
x-1=5x+10
x-5x=10+1
-4x=11
x=-11/4
2) x-1=-(5x+10)
x-1=-(5x+10)
x-1=-5x-10
x+5x=-10+1
6x=-9
x=-9/6=-3/2
we have two possible solutions:
solution₁; x=-11/4
solution₂: x=-3/2
we check it out:
1) x=-11/4
[x-1]=5x+10
[-11/4 - 1]=5(-11/4)+10
[(-11-4)/4]=-55/4 + 10
[-15/4]=(-55+40) /4
15/4≠-15/4 This solution don´t work.
2) x=-3/2
[x-1]=5x+10
[-3/2 - 1]=5(-3/2)+10
[(-3-2)/2]=-15/2 + 10
[-5/2]=(-15+20)/2
5/2=5/2; this solution works.
Therefore:
Answer: x=-3/2.
2/3 would be bigger
I hope that helps
