Sheila bought 10 1⁄2 oz of almonds for $3.36. how much did the almonds cost per ounce?

1 answer:

4 0

Cost per ounce means you take the cost and divide it by the cost:

3.36 / (21/2) 

division of fractions changes to the multiplication of the reciprocal: 

3.36 * (2 / 21) 

3.36 and has 21 as a factor, so let's cancel it: 

0.16 * 2 

$0.32 per ounce

one days discharge at its mouth, 3 trillion gallons, could supply all of country A’s household for 5 months. how much water an a

serious [3.7K]

let's use engineering notation for the sake of brevity.

1 trillion is 1,000,000,000,000, or just 1E12, twelve zeros.

1 million is then 1E6, six zeros.

we know the discharge for one day is 3E12 gallons, and that'd do just fine for country A for 5 months. How many gallons in 1 month only?

$\bf \begin{array}{ccll} gallons&months\\ \cline{1-2} 3E12&5\\ x&1 \end{array}\implies \cfrac{3E12}{x}=\cfrac{5}{1}\implies 3E12=5x \\\\\\ \cfrac{3E12}{5}=x\implies 6E11=x\implies 600000000000=x$

if there are 200million inhabitants in A, namely 200E6 or 2E8 inhabitants, how many gallons per inhabitant from all those 6E11 gallons?

$\bf \begin{array}{ccll} gallons&households\\ \cline{1-2} 6E11&2E8\\ x&1 \end{array}\implies \cfrac{6E11}{x}=\cfrac{2E8}{1}\implies 6E11=2E8x \\\\\\ \cfrac{6E11}{2E8}=x\implies \cfrac{600000000000}{200000000}=x\implies 3000=x$

The perimeter of a triangle is 16x−6. If two sides measure 3x+2 and 4x−9, then how long is the third side?

Studentka2010 [4]

Perimeter of a triangle is the sum of measures of its all three sides, let the other be y,

we know,

$\hookrightarrow \: y + 3x + 2 + 4x - 9 = 16x - 6$
