1 answer:

6 0

If the length is 2/5, or .40, then:

280/.40= 700

Check my answer:

.40*700= 280

The length is .40 (or 2/5) the width is 700.

I hope this helped!

polet [3.4K]

We define the variables:
p: cost of bushel of peaches
w: cost of watermelon
We wrote the system of equations:
12p + 5w = 150
15p + 8w = 198
We can represent the system in matrix form as
Ax = b
Where,
A = [12 5; 15 8]
b = [150; 198]
x = [p; w]

cupoosta [38]

Answer:

Ted will need $3\frac{3}{4}$ cups of pretzels to make 15 cups of trail mix.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ted is making trail mix for a party. He mixes 1 1/2 cups of nuts, 1/4 cup of raisins, and 1/4 cup of pretzels.

So, 1/4 cup of pretzels to make 1 trail mix

x cups of pretzels to make 15 trail mix

Using the ratio and proportional

∴ x = (1/4) * 15 = 3.75 = $3\frac{3}{4}$ cups.

<u>Ted will need </u> $3\frac{3}{4}$ <u> cups of pretzels to make 15 cups of trail mix.</u>
