0.2(6x+1)/3.6=0.5x/9

Solution

(1.2x + 0.2)/3.6 = 0.5x/9

Cross multiplying, we get

9(1.2x + 0.2) = 3.6 * 0.5x

10.8x + 1.8 = 1.8x

10.8x - 1,8x = -1.8

9x = -1.8

Dividing both sides by 9, we get

x = - 0.2

That's the answer.

Thank you.

Lucy is a dress maker. She sews 4/7 of a dress in 3/4 hour. Lucy sees at a constant rate. At this rate, how many dresses does lu

IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

Lucy sews $\frac{16}{21}$ dresses in 1 hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Lucy sews $\frac{4}{7}$ of a dress in $\frac{3}{4}$ hour.

She sews at constant rate.

We need to find the number of dresses she makes in 1 hour.

In $\frac{3}{4}$ hour = $\frac{4}{7}$ dress

So in 1 hour = Number of dresses in 1 hour

By using Unitary method we get;

Number of dresses in 1 hour= $\frac{\frac{4}{7}}{\frac{3}{4}} = \frac{4}{7}\times \frac{4}{3}= \frac{16}{21}$

Hence Lucy sews $\frac{16}{21}$ dresses in 1 hour.

Three students, Matthew, Thompson and Amos shared #15000 in the ratio of 5:2:x respectively. If Matthew's share is 7500, calcula

jasenka [17]

Answer:

The value of x is 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Matthew earned 7500 of 15000, which is exactly half the total amount, meaning that the fraction corresponding to his earnings is 1/2.

Rate of 5:2:x, with number 5 corresponding to Matthew, mean that his fraction of the earnings, in function of x is given by:

$\frac{5}{5 + 2 + x} = \frac{5}{7 + x}$

Both fractions are equal, so:

$\frac{5}{7 + x} = \frac{1}{2}$

Applying cross multiplication:

$7 + x = 10$

$x = 10 - 7$

$x = 3$

The value of x is 3.
