Answer:

a. There were 24 cups, 48 plates, 12 balloons

b. 24 balloons were at the party.

c. 24 plates and 20 cups were used

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to identify first the number of cups so that we can double the quantity for plates and divide the number to get the balloon number.

So if we have 24 cups and we double it we have 48 plates and if we divide in half to get the balloon number we get 12 balloons, which in total is 84.

Then we just need tu add the 12 balloons Tammy brought to have 24 balloons, and at the end to obtain how many plates and cups were used we just need to subtract the items left to the items bought so we get half plates from 48 is 24 plates and 24 cups minus 4 cups left we have 20 cups used in the party.

The important number that we firstly need to calculate is the one that need to be multiply or divided in order to obtain all the results.

The area of a circle is 28.26 square centimeters. What is its diameter (use 3.14 for ð)?
horsena [70]
Area for circle is  πr² so πr² =28.26 and we can sub 3.14 as pi
3.14*r²=28.26 we can divide by 3.14 to get r² on it's own
r²=28.26/3.14
then we root both sides to get r on it's own
28.26/3.14=9 √9=3
and the diameter is double the radius 3*2=6 so the diameter is 6

the side length of the state flag of Colorado are in the ratio of 2:3 if the flag is 12 ft long what is the height?​
yanalaym [24]

Answer:

The height is 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Ratios are just fractions. That being said, you also have part of a fraction. You know that the colorado flag is in 2:3, and 12 feet long is according to that ratio; it equals each other.

Make the equation.

\frac{2}{3}  = \frac{x}{12}

Now isolate x (in order to solve for it)

12 * \frac{2}{3}  = \frac{x}{12}*12\\8 = x

x= 8

The height is 8.

8/12 = 2/3 ✅
