Let n be the total number of puffs. Now we can write:
Adding the fractional value of n, we get:
Simplifying and rearranging gives us:
Therefore we can simplify to get:
and finally
The fraction of the puff that are tuna is found from:
You will get r= 21/12 but you have to simplify to get R=7/4 or R=1.75
Answer:
x_>0_>3000
Step-by-step explanation:
I saw the answer key :)
V= 1/3BH
= 1/3( 1/2x9x5)10
= 1/3(45/2) 10
= 75in ^3
Answer:
121 smokers
Step-by-step explanation:
This can be calculated as a simple rule of 3.
In these problems, the first step is identifying the measures in the problem. Then, we must identify whether their relation is direct or inverse.
When it is direct, as one measure increases, the other will increase too.
When it is inverse, as one measure increases, the other will decrease.
In this problem, the measures are the number of people over 12 that smoke, and the total number of people over 12. Their relation is direct, because as the number of people increases, the number of smokers will increase too.
So we must solve the following rule of three:
22 smokers - 100 people
x smokers - 550 people
x = 550*22/100
x = 22*5.5
x = 121 smokers.
So, in a group off 550 people over the age of 12, there are 121 expected smokers.
