Answer:
5.3 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
3 hours = 8lbs. turkey
?? hours = 14lbs. turkey
Do proportions:
= 
<-- Cross Multiply
42 = 8x <-- Solve for x
x = 5.25
Round to the nearest tenth:
x = 5.3 hours
Answer: 8
Step-by-step explanation:
48,498,867 divided by 9 = 5,388,763
Let x = liters 20% solution to be added
then
.12(12) + .20x = .14(12+x)
.12(12) + .20x = .14(12+x)
1.44 + .20x = 1.68 + .14x
.20x = .24 + .14x
.06x = .24
x = 4 liters
Hope this helped!!
This sets up as a very commonly used proportion.
90 oz / 18.95 = 1 oz / x Cross multiply
90 x = 18.95 Divide by 90
x = 18.95 / 90
x = 0.21 dollars or 21 cents.
So each ounce of shampoo costs 0.21 dollars or 21 cents.
This is a very handy way to check best deals. Stores have trained us for years to believe that the more we buy of a brand, the better the price. It isn't always true. Sometimes buying the smaller quantity is the better deal. There is only one way to be sure and that's to do a proportion like this one.
Try this is an example. The same company makes a smaller container of shampoo of 45 oz for 9.15. How much is 1 oz and which is the better deal? You should get 0.20333 dollars so this is marginally (just) the better deal.
