The volume of the smoothies served is 18.67 liters.
Given:
volume of fruit juice = 35 liters
ratio of fruit juice to smoothies = 4.5 to 2.4
Proportion: a:b = c:d where ad = bc
a = 4.5 ; b = 2.4 ; c = 35 ; d = x
4.5 to 2.4 = 35 to x
4.5x = 35 * 2.4
4.5x = 84
4.5x/4.5 = 84/4.5
x = 18.67 volume of smoothies.
to check:
4.5(18.67) = 35*2.4
84.015 = 84
The cost of one pound of sugar is $.50 and the cost of ten pounds of sugar is $5
Answer:
12
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that AD=BC and that AB=CD. We also know the perimeter of the rectangle ABCD to be 54 units.
From this, we can add up the sides which will be equal to 54 units.
AD+BC+AB+CD=54
2x+2x+3x-3+3x-3=54
10x=60
x=6
Since we are trying to find the length of side BC we substitute this value back into 2x.
BC=2x =2*6=12
Therefore, the length of BC is 12 units.
