Answer:
2.5 pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
Let s represent the number of pounds of dried strawberries that should be added to the bananas. The total cost of the mixture will be ...
(2.50)(3) +(8.00)(s) = (5.00)(3 +s)
7.50 +8s = 15 +5s . . . . . . . eliminate parentheses
3s = 7.50 . . . . . . . . . subtract 7.50+5s
s = 2.50 . . . . . . divide by 3
2.5 pounds of dried strawberries should be added to make the mixture.
1/3 of 2/3
Just multiply them
1/3 x 2/3 = 2/9
Divide the amount of the tax by the cost of the item:
32.80 / 410 = 0.08
Multiply by 100:
0.08 x 100 = 8%
Answer: 8%
Answer:
a = 28°
Step-by-step explanation:
62°+a° = 90°
a = 90 - 62
a = 28°
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Suppose that the side length is s. Imagine that one side is level. Draw a vertical line through the top vertex perpendicular to the base (level side). Label this vertical line "h." Then h and s are related as follows:
√3 h
sin 60 degrees = ------- = --------
2 s
s√3
and so h = the height of the triangle = -----------
2
The area of this triangle is (1/2)(base)(height), which here is:
(1/2)(s/2)( s√3 /2), or
(s^2)√3
A = ---------------
8
