<span>current ratio: 4 apple trees for every 3 pear trees. wants: 2 avocado trees for every 5 pear trees in the orchard. Sandy is planting 18 avocado trees so 2 avocado trees for every 5 pear trees =1 avocado trees for every 2.5 pear trees therefore if we have 18 avocado trees 18 x 2.5 = 45 pear trees 4 apple trees for every 3 pear trees 4/3 = 1.333 apple trees for every 1 pear tree therefore if we have 45 avocado trees 45 x 1.333 = 60 apple trees therefore ratio of avocado to apple trees = 18 : 60 18 : 60 = 9 : 30 = 3 : 10</span>

Help! In parallelogram LMNO below, find the length of MO
pashok25 [27]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other.

5y - 8 = 3y + 1              Add 8 to both sides

5y = 3y + 1 + 8             Subtract 3y from both sides

5y - 3y = 9                   Combine

2y = 9                          Divide by 2

2y/2 =9/2  

y = 4. 5

5y - 8 =

5(4.5) - 8 =

22.5 - 8 =

14.5

That represents 1/2 of MO

MO = 2 * 14.5

MO = 29

A large truck has two fuel tanks, each with a capacity of 150 gallons. Tank 1 is half full, and Tank 2 is empty.
12345 [234]

Answer:

1) G(t) = 75 + \frac{23}{4}t\\

2) After 8 minutes delivering fuel the tanks will have 121 gallons of fuel

Step-by-step explanation:

1) For generating the equation we have to take into account that in the tanks there is a initial volume of fuel that corresponds to 75 gallons, as it is stated that tank one is half full. As the capacity for tank 1 is of 150 gallons, half of the tank equals to:

\frac{150}{2} = 75 gallons

Now we have to convert the rate of delivery that is expressed as a mixed number to an improper fraction so:

5\frac{3}{4} = \frac{(5x4)+3}{4} = \frac{23}{4}

Then the pumping rate is of 23/4 gallons per minute, to get how many gallons are in the tank we just need to multiply this rate by the time in minutes, and as there is an initial volume we have to add it, so we have the following equation:

G(t) = 75 + \frac{23}{4}t\\

2) To know how much fuel is in the tank after 8 minutes we have to replace this time in the previous equation so we have

G(t) = 75 + \frac{23}{4}t\\G(8) = 75 + \frac{23}{4}(8)\\G(8) = 75 + 23(2)\\G(8) = 75 + 46\\G(8) = 121 gallons

After 8 minutes delivering fuel the tanks will have 121 gallons of fuel

Which expression is a factor of 10x^2+11x+3
Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

The factors are (5x + 3) and (2x + 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

When you need to factor a quadratic, and the coefficient of the x² is not 1, use the slide and divide method.

The general form of a quadratic is ax² + bx + c

Factor:  10x² + 11x + 3

Here a = 10, b = 11, and c = 3

Step 1:  Multiply ac, we SLIDE a over to c.  Notice the 10 is gone for now..

    x² + 11x + 30

Step 2:    Factor this   (this step will always factor)

  x² + 11x + 30 = (x + 5)(x + 6)

So the factors are  (x + 5)(x + 6), but we now need to DIVIDE by a, since we multiplied it into c before.  We divide the constants in the factors...

   (x + 5/10 )(x + 6/10 )  

Now reduce the fractions as much as possible...

(x + 1/2 )(x + 3/5)

*If they don't reduce to a whole number, SLIDE the denominator over as a coefficient of x....

(2x + 1)(5x + 3)        *2 slide over in front of x, 5 slide over in front of x, the fractions are gone!

These are our factors!
