In the old aquarium, 3 tablespoons of salt were used for 20 gallons. That's a conversion ratio of

\dfrac{3\,\rm tbsp}{20\,\rm{gal}}=0.15\,\dfrac{\rm tbsp}{\rm gal}

That is, for every gallon of water in the aquarium, there was 0.15 tbsp of salt. So a 50 gallon aquarium, Ill should add

(50\,\rm{gal})\left(0.15\,\dfrac{\rm tbsp}{\rm gal}\right)=7.5\,\rm{tbsp}

to maintain the salinity.

salantis [7]
The ratio between the departments is

A: B: C
15000 : 18000 : 9000
15 : 18 : 9
5 : 6 : 3

The budget needs to be divided into 5+6+3 = 14 parts
The budget for one part is 22000/14

The budget for department B is \frac{22000}{14}*6=9428.571428
Rounded to the nearest dollar, the budget is $9429

The navy contract was for 2,314 devices and took 23 workers two weeks (40 hours per week) to complete. The army contract was for
AlekseyPX

Answer:

0.408 hour / device

Step-by-step explanation:

As we know The army contract was for 4,707 devices that were produced by 16 workers which means 1 worker can produce: \frac{4707}{16} ≈294 devices in 3 weeks.

<=> 294 devices= 3*40 hours

<=> 294 devices = 120 hours

<=> 1 device = 120/294 = 20/49 ≈ 0.408 hour

So it takes 0.408 hour for a worker to finish producing 1 devicein the army contract

I make 2.5 kg of popcorn and eat 750g of it while watching a movie.How much popcorn is left
tankabanditka [31]
1 kg= 1000g

So, if there are 2.5kg, then there are 2500g.

That way, 2500-750=1750
You can say there are 1750g of popcorn left or 1.75kg of it left.

(P.S.- Who eats that much popcorn? lol)

I hope that helped.

If y=4 when x=12, find y when x=-24
goldfiish [28.3K]

The value of y is -8 if the x  -24 and y varies directly with x, and If y = 4 when x = 12.

<h3>What is a proportional relationship?</h3>

It is defined as the relationship between two variables when the first variable increases, the second variable also increases according to the constant factor.

The question is incomplete.

The complete question is:

If y varies directly with x, and If y = 4 when x = 12, how do you find y when x = -24?

y ∝ x  (given)

y = kx

k is the constant of proportionality.

4 = 12k  (y = 4, and x = 12)

k = 1/3

y = x/3

Plug x = -24

y = -24/3

y = -8

Thus, the value of y is -8 if the x  -24 and y varies directly with x, and If y = 4 when x = 12.
