Answer:
![\[\frac{1}{24}\]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5C%5B%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B24%7D%5C%5D)
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the total number of batteries produced daily be represented by x.
7/8 of the batteries are packaged immediately.
So the total number of packaged batteries = ![\[\frac{7x}{8}\]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5C%5B%5Cfrac%7B7x%7D%7B8%7D%5C%5D)
Remaining batteries = ![\[x-\frac{7x}{8}\]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5C%5Bx-%5Cfrac%7B7x%7D%7B8%7D%5C%5D)
= ![\[\frac{x}{8}\]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5C%5B%5Cfrac%7Bx%7D%7B8%7D%5C%5D)
Two third of the remaining batteries are sent to charity.
So the total number of batteries sent to charity= ![\[\frac{2}{3} * \frac{x}{8}\]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5C%5B%5Cfrac%7B2%7D%7B3%7D%20%2A%20%5Cfrac%7Bx%7D%7B8%7D%5C%5D)
= ![\[\frac{x}{12}\]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5C%5B%5Cfrac%7Bx%7D%7B12%7D%5C%5D)
Remaining batteries are faulty.
So the total number of faulty batteries = ![\[\frac{x}{8} - \frac{x}{12}\]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5C%5B%5Cfrac%7Bx%7D%7B8%7D%20-%20%5Cfrac%7Bx%7D%7B12%7D%5C%5D)
= ![\[\frac{3x - 2x}{24}\]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5C%5B%5Cfrac%7B3x%20-%202x%7D%7B24%7D%5C%5D)
= ![\[\frac{x}{24}\]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5C%5B%5Cfrac%7Bx%7D%7B24%7D%5C%5D)
So the faction of batteries which are faulty =
= ![\[\frac{x}{24} \div x\]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5C%5B%5Cfrac%7Bx%7D%7B24%7D%20%5Cdiv%20x%5C%5D)

Answer: 22.5 yards
Step-by-step explanation:
There are a total of 20 parts yarn. This means that 3/20 of the carpet is silver. So in order to compare this to the 150 meters of total yarn, you would set up this equation:
3/20 = x/150
Next, you cross multiply:
3*150 = 20*x or simplified would be 450 = 20x
Next, you divide both sides by 20 to get x by itself.
450/20 = 22.5, so x is equal to 22.5
This means you have 22.5 yards of silver in the carpet.
Total meat in the recipe he wants to use = 7 pounds
Beef : pork = 3 : 1
Total pork that he will use =
x 7 pounds
= 7/4 pounds
hope this helps
