The amount of blue paint in each container is \fbox{\begin\\\ 0.744 liters \end{minispace}}.

Further explanation:

The mixture mixed by Mrs. Cleaver contains 1.24 litres of red paint with 3 times blue paint to obtain purple paint.

So, the amount of blue paint is calculated as,

{3} \times {1.24}=3.72 \text { liters}

Therefore, the total amount of paint mixture is the sum of blue paint and red paint.

\fbox{\begin \\\begin{aligned} \text{Total paint}= 1.24+3.72\\=4.96 \text{ liters}\\\end{aligned}\\\end{minispace}}

Now, as Mrs. Cleaver divides the paint mixture equally in 5 containers so the amount of paint in one container is calculated as,

\boxed{\begin{aligned}\text{Amount of paint in one container}&= \dfrac{4.96}{5}\\ &=0.992 \text{ liters} \end {aligned}}

Since amount of blue paint mixed is three times the red paint so the fraction of blue paint to the total paint is \dfrac{3}{4}.  

Now, as it is known that the fraction of blue paint to the total paint is \dfrac{3}{4} and the amount of paint in a container is 0.992 \text{ liters} then the blue paint in one container is calculated as,

\boxed{\begin{aligned}\text{Blue paint in one container} =\dfrac{3}{4} \times 0.992\\=0.248 \text{ liters}\end{aligned}}

Thus, the amount of blue paint in each of the five containers is \fbox{\begin\\\ 0.744 liters \end{minispace}}.

Y is directly proportional to x.
Anna35 [415]

Answer: Our required equation would be

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

y=30, when x = 6.

As there is direct proportion between x and y.

so, it becomes,

So, the equation connecting y and x would be

When we put the value of k, we get that

Hence, our required equation would be y=5x

kotegsom [21]
The area is given by
 A = (5 + 2x) * (10 + 2x) - 50
 Rewriting we have:
 A = 50 + 10x + 20x + 4x ^ 2 -50
 Rewriting we have:
 A = 4x ^ 2 + 30x
 Substituting the value of the area we have:
 54 = 4x ^ 2 + 30x
 Rewriting:
 4x ^ 2 + 30x - 54 = 0
 We look for the roots:
 x1 = -9
 x2 = 3/2
 We take the positive root:
 x2 = 3/2
 Answer:
 
the value of x is:
 
x = 3/2
