Given :
The Mad Hat Company must ship two different-sized boxes: The small ones cost them 45 cents each and weigh 6 ounces, and the large ones weigh 25 ounces and cost $1.20 each.
The total shipment this morning weighed 20 pounds 7 ounces and cost $18.45.
To Find :
How many packages of each size were shipped.
Solution :
We know, 1 pound = 16 ounces.
So, 20 pound = 20×16 = 320 ounces.
Let, number of large and small box are l and s.
So,
25l + 6s = 327 ...1)
0.45s + 1.20l = 18.45 ...2)
Solving both the equations, we get :
x = 9 and y = 17
Therefore, package smaller and big size are 17 and 9 respectively .
Hence, this is the required solution.
5/48=0.1041666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666
Answer:
D. A E
Step-by-step explanation:
BEACAUSE THE A IS NEAR TO THE E
77 unicorns, because yesterday the ratio was 6:5 and today it is 3:4. If you add the numbers for both ratios together, you get 11 and 7. Finding the LCM of these two gives 77 (because 7 and 11 are both prime).
You find the LCM of the sums because when you find values based on ratios, you divide value by the sum of the ratio.
e.g. I have 100 fruits. The ratio of apples to oranges is 2:3. How many apples are there?
To solve this you'd add 2 and 3 (5), divide 100 by 5 (20), multiply that by 2 (40) because that's the ratio of apples to oranges.
In this case, you do the reverse. So If I have 77 unicorns, then yesterday there were (77/11 = 7, 7*6= 42, 7*5= 35) 42 green unicorns and 35 yellow. The sum of 42 and 35 is 77. If you do this process with the other ratio you'll get similar results as well.
