A cosmetic company makes three bottles of scented lotion using the recipe shown. Each bottle holds a different amount of lotion.

seropon [69]

Answer:

Part 1) Bottle 1 (vanilla=1,almond=3,pineapple=4)

Part 2) Bottle 2 (vanilla=2,almond=6,pineapple=8)

Part 3) Bottle 3 (vanilla=1 1/2,almond=4 1/2,pineapple=6)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the amount of vanilla sent

y ----> amount of almond sent

z ----> the amount of pineapple sent

we know that

$x:y:z=\frac{1}{8}:\frac{3}{8}:\frac{1}{2}$

$\frac{x}{y}=\frac{1}{8}:\frac{3}{8}$

$\frac{x}{y}=\frac{1}{3}$

$x=\frac{y}{3}$ -----> equation A

$\frac{x}{z}=\frac{1}{8}:\frac{1}{2}$

$\frac{x}{z}=\frac{1}{4}$

$x=\frac{1}{4}z$ -----> equation B

$\frac{y}{z}=\frac{3}{8}:\frac{1}{2}$

$\frac{y}{z}=\frac{3}{4}$

$y=\frac{3}{4}z$ -----> equation C

Part 1) Bottle 1

vanilla=?

almond=?

pineapple=4

we have

$z=4$

Find the value of x

substitute the value of z in equation B

$x=\frac{1}{4}(4)$

$x=1$

Find the value of y

substitute the value of z in equation C

$y=\frac{3}{4}(4)$

$y=3$

therefore

Bottle 1

vanilla=1

almond=3

pineapple=4

Part 2) Bottle 2

vanilla=?

almond=6

pineapple=?

we have

$y=6$

Find the value of x

substitute the value of y in equation A

$x=\frac{6}{3}=2$

Find the value of z

substitute the value of x in equation B

$2=\frac{1}{4}z$

solve for z

$z=8$

therefore

Bottle 2

vanilla=2

almond=6

pineapple=8

Part 3) Bottle 3

vanilla=1 1/2

almond=?

pineapple=?

we have

$x=1\frac{1}{2}$

convert to an improper fraction

$x=1\frac{1}{2}=\frac{1*2+1}{2}=\frac{3}{2}$

Find the value of y

substitute the value of x in equation A

$\frac{3}{2}=\frac{y}{3}$

$y=\frac{9}{2}$

convert to mixed number

$y=\frac{9}{2}=\frac{8}{2}+\frac{1}{2}=4\frac{1}{2}$

Find the value of z

substitute the value of x in equation B

$\frac{3}{2}=\frac{1}{4}z$

$z=6$

therefore

Bottle 3

vanilla=1 1/2

almond=4 1/2

pineapple=6

Help me find the answer to this area of a kite problem

julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

Below in bold.

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a kite = 1/2 * D1 * D2 were D1 and D2 are the 2 diagonals

D1 = 5 + 2.5 = 7.5 and D2 = 2*44444.5 = 9

So area = 1/2 * 7.5 * 9

= 33.75.

sally has a part time job mowing lawns so she can save money for a new car. she charges $5 per hour define the independent and d

KengaRu [80]

Answer:

Independent: Amount of hours she works

Dependent: Amount of money she makes

Step-by-step explanation:

The independent variable is the part of the equation that changes. In this case the only thing that changes is how long she works, the amount of money she charges and what she is doing does not change.

The dependent variable is what you measure in the equation. In this case, the amount of money she makes depends on the amount of time she works.
