R = number of red pens
b = number of blue pens

If we have 36 workers and each worker requires a pen, we need 36 pens.

36 = r + b
3r = b   (For every 3 red there are 9 blue. So there are 3 times as many blue as red)

Now, substitute 3r = b into the first equation.

36 = r + b = r + 3r = 4r
36 = 4r
9 = r

Therefore, we need 9 red pens. Plug this back into our 3r=b equation to solve for b.

3r = b
3(9) = b
27 = b

Therefore, we need 27 blue pens.

Madison spent 3 times as long on her social project as she did on her other project. If she spent a total of 8 hours on he proje
deff fn [24]

Answer:

6 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose Madison spent x hours on her social project,

then the number of hours spent on other project will be 1/3 of x=x/3

Total hours spend on all projects will be the addition of hours spent on social project and hour spent on other project, i.e

x + x/3 = 4x/3

It si given that this is 8 hours, therefore

4x/3=8

Multiplying both sides by 3:

4x=24

Dividing across board by 4:

x= 6 hours

Which graph shows a proportional relationship?
Verdich [7]
Answer: The only graph that shows a proportional relationship is the line that crosses the origin point (0,0).

Explanation

The other graphs are linear functions but not not proportional relationships.

The general form of a proportional relationship is y = kx, where k is the proportionality constant. So, for x = 0 you will always obtain y = 0.

The general form of a linear relationshio is y = kx + b, being b the y-intercept, so if the y-intercept is not 0, it is not a proportional relationship. That is what happens with the other three graphs.

The formula A=6s² gives the suface area A of a cube with a side length s. What is the suface area of a cube that has a side leng
Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

150 square inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the surface area of a cube is 6 times the square of the side length of the cube, then that means the surface area of a cube that has a side length of 5 has a surface area of 6 x 5 x 5. 5 times 5 = 25, and 25 x 6 = 150

Calculate the new area using a scale factor of 3.
Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

315

Step-by-step explanation:

Using a scale factor of 3 basically means just multiply the length and the width by 3.

So instead of 5 * 7, we are doing 15 * 21.

15 * 21 = 315
