If a = b and 1/x + 1/a = 1/b then x =

1 answer:

6 0

1/x+1/a=1/a
minus 1/a from both sides
1/x=0
false
let's try a differnt way
1/x+1/a=1/a
times both sides by xa
a+x=x
minus x from both sides
a=0
???
1/0 is undefined
this creates problems

1/3 cup of flour is used to make 5 dinner rolls.

RoseWind [281]

we know that

$\frac{1}{3}$ cup of flour is used to make $5$ dinner rolls.

Part a) How much flour is needed to make one dinner roll?

by using proportion

$\frac{\frac{1}{3}}{5} =\frac{x}{1} \\ \\ x=\frac{\frac{1}{3}}{5}\\ \\ x=\frac{1}{15}$

therefore

the answer Part a) is

To make one dinner roll is needed $\frac{1}{15}$ cup of flour

Part b) How many cups of flour are needed to make 3 dozen dinner rolls?

Multiply the value obtained in part a) by $36$

$\frac{1}{15} *36=\frac{36}{15} \\ \\ =\frac{12}{5}$

$\frac{12}{5} =2\frac{2}{5}$

therefore

the answer Part b) is

To make $3$ dozen dinner rolls are needed $2\frac{2}{5}$ cup of flour

Part c) How many rolls can you make with 5 2/3 cups of flour?

$5\frac{2}{3} =\frac{17}{3}$

by using proportion

$\frac{\frac{1}{3}}{5} =\frac{\frac{17}{3}}{x} \\ \\ \frac{x}{3} =\frac{85}{3} \\ \\ x=85$

therefore

the answer part c) is

$85$ rolls

Solve for x.<br> 144°<br> 18 degrees<br> 30 degrees<br> 48 degrees<br> 120 degrees

disa [49]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

you have a rotation angle of 360 °, take out the known values (360 ° -90 ° -144 ° = 126), 144 ° is part of a flat angle of 180 °, from 180 ° remove 144 and you have 36 °, they are opposite angles therefore the same. therefore 360 - 144 - 90 - 36 - 36 = 54.

54 is 3x, so x = 18 ° (54 : 3 = 18)

If 30% of John's photographs were perfect, but 210 photographs were not perfect, then how many photographs were there in all?

anyanavicka [17]

If 30% were perfect, 70% were not perfect. So we know that 70% of the total number of photographs is 210.

p(70/100)=210 multiply both sides by 100

70p=21000 divide both sides by 70

p=300

So there are 300 photographs in all.
