Answer:

35 gallons of mulch will cover 7 flowerbeds

Step-by-step explanation:

If it takes 15 gallons of mulch to cover 5 flowerbeds then we can represent the number of gallons per flowerbed.

The number of gallons per flowerbed = 15 gallons of mulch /5 flowerbeds

= 3 gallons of mulch/ flowerbeds

So it takes 3 gallons of mulch to cover 1 flowerbed.

Therefore for 7 flowerbeds we can determine the amount of gallons of mulch needed by using conversion factors:

= (3 gallons of mulch/ flower bed)×7 flowerbeds

= 21 gallons of mulch

Therefore 21 gallons of mulch will cover 7 flowerbeds

You need to work out how much you need for 1 flowerbed,
So, 15÷5= 3. 3 gallons =1 flowerbed
Then, 3 X 7 = 21 Gallons.

6 children and 2 adults are going to the circus, children tickets are on sale, half the price of adult tickets totaling $54. How

inna [77]

Answer:

Price of 1 child ticket is $5.4

Price of 1 adult ticket is $10.8

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:-

6 children and 2 adults are going for circus.

Children ticket is half the price of adult ticket.

Total ticketing cost =$54

To find:-

Cost of 1 child ticket=?

Cost of 1 Adult ticket=?

Solution:-

Let price of 1 child ticket be x and price of 1 adult ticket be y,

therefore from the given data we get 2 equations,

$6x+2y=54$ -----------------------------------(1)

$x=\frac{1}{2} y$ --------------------------------(2)

Now, substituting the value of x from equation 2 in equation 1,

$6x+2y=54$

$6(\frac{1}{2} y)+2y=54$

$\frac{6}{2}y+2y=54$

$3y+2y=54$

$5y=54$

$\therefore y=\frac{54}{5}$

$\therefore y =10.8$ ------------------------(3)

Now, substituting the value of y from equation 3 in equation 2,

$x=\frac{1}{2} y$

$\therefore x=\frac{1}{2} \times 10.8$ ------------(from equation 3)

$\therefore x=\frac{10.8}{2}$

$\therefore x=5.4$ ----------------------(4)

As, x is price of 1 child ticket and y is price of 1 adult ticket,

Therefore price of 1 child ticket is $5.4 and price of 1 adult ticket is $10.8

Well the way I see it is he started with 4 villager so I would see the equation to be

1.13x times 17+4 would equal the amount of villagers he could have which would be 23.21 as for the equation it would be 1.13x times 17 plus four equals the number of villagers total
