$365x + 125 = 250x + 175\\\\365x -250x = 175-125\\\\115x=50\\\\x = \frac{50}{115} = \boxed{\bf{\frac{10}{23}}}$

Jethro is planting flowers in his garden. He wants the ratio of tulips to roses to be 2 to 1. Jethro wants to plant a total of 1

attashe74 [19]

Given:

Ratio of tulips to roses = 2:1

Total number of flowers = 18

To find:

The number of tulips.

Solution:

Let the number of tulips and roses are 2x and x respectively.

According to the question,

$2x+x=18$

$3x=18$

Divide both sides by 3.

$x=\dfrac{18}{3}$

$x=6$

Now,

Number of tulips $=2(6)$

$=12$

Therefore, the number of tulips is 12.

Calculate the principal amount which earns $500 simple interest over 3 Years at a rate of 8% p.a round to the nearest cent

timama [110]

$500 was earned over 3 years
so, to find one year
500 ÷ 3 = $166.67

Interest for one year is $166.67

Henry is making a corn grits recipe that calls for 1/4 cup of corn grits for every 1/2 cup of water. How much water will he need

Archy [21]

Method 1:

$\begin{array}{ccc}\dfrac{1}{4}\ \text{cup of corn}&-&\dfrac{1}{2}\ \text{cup of water}\\\\1\dfrac{1}{2}=\dfrac{3}{2}\ \text{cup of corn}&-&x\ \text{cup of water}\end{array}\qquad\text{cross multiply}\\\\\\\dfrac{1}{4}\cdot x=\dfrac{3}{2}\cdot\dfrac{1}{2}\\\\\dfrac{1}{4}x=\dfrac{3}{4}\qquad\text{multiply both sides by 4}\\\\\boxed{x=3}$

<h3>Answer: Henry will need 3 cups of water.</h3>

Method 2:

$\begin{matrix}\dfrac{1}{4}\ \text{cup of corn}&-&\dfrac{1}{2}\ \text{cup of water}&|\text{multiply both sides by 2}\\\\\dfrac{1}{2}\ \text{cup of corn}&-&1\ \text{cup of water}&|\text{multiply both sides by 2}\\\\1\ \text{cup of corn}&-&2\ \text{cup of water}&|\end{matrix}$

$\begin{matrix}\left(\dfrac{1}{2}+1\right)\ \text{cups of corn}&-&(1+2)\ \text{cups of water}\\\\1\dfrac{1}{2}\ \text{cups of corn}&-&3\ \text{cups of water}\end{matrix}$

<h3>Answer: Henry will need 3 cups of water.</h3>
