Answer:

80 oranges are used to make 3 gallons of juice

Step-by-step explanation:

1 gallon = 8 pint

3 gallons = 3 * 8 = 24 pint

1 pint = 2 cup full of juice

24 pint = 24 * 2 = 48 cups

Now, we have to find how many 3 cups are in 48. So, 48 ÷ 3 = 16

3 cup of juice is taken form 5 oranges.

Therefore, 16 groups of 3 cups of juice will be taken from 5 *16 = 80 oranges

Answer:

90 oranges

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find out how many cupfuls are in 3 gallons of juice.

2 cups = 1 pint

2 pints = 1 quart

4 quarts = 1 gallon

16 cups = 1 gallon

48 cups = 3 gallons

For every 5 oranges, you get 3 cupfuls of juice. This gives you the ratio of 5/3. Multiply 48 cups, which is 3 gallons, by the ratio to find out how many oranges you will need.

48 × 5/3 = 90

You will need 90 oranges for 3 gallons of juice.

The product of 1 1/2 and 2 is

Over [174]

Method 1:

Convert the mixed number to the improper fraction:

$1\dfrac{1}{2}=\dfrac{1\cdot2+1}{2}=\dfrac{3}{2}$

Make the product:

$1\dfrac{1}{2}\cdot2=\dfrac{3}{2}\cdot2$

<em>canceled 2</em>

$=\dfrac{3}{\not2_1}\cdot\not2^1}=\boxed{3}$

Method 2:

$1\dfrac{1}{2}=1+\dfrac{1}{2}$

$1\dfrac{1}{2}\cdot2=\left(1+\dfrac{1}{2}\right)\cdot2$

<em>use the distributive property a(b + c) = ab + ac</em>

$(1)(2)+\left(\dfrac{1}{2}\right)(2)=2+1=\boxed{3}$

a family has two cars. the first car has a fuel efficiency of 20 miles per gallon of gas and the second has a fuel efficiency of

nikklg [1K]

Car A consumes 25 gallon and car B consumes 15 gallon.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The fuel efficiency of car A = 20 miles per gallon.

The fuel efficiency of car B = 15 miles per gallon.

In a week, two cars went 725 miles and consumed 40 gallons.

To find the consumption of each car in that week.

Let,

Car A consumed x gallon

Car B consumed y gallon.

According to the problem,

x+y = 40 ----- (1)

20x+15y = 725

or, 4x+3y = 145 -------- (2)

From (1) we get, x = 40-y

Putting the value of x in (2) we get,

4(40-y)+3y = 145

or, 160-4y+3y = 145

or, -y = 145-160

or, y = 15

From (1) we get, x = 40-15 = 25

Hence,

Car A consumes 25 gallon and car B consumes 15 gallon.

Help Q-Q 7/10c =4 1/5

shepuryov [24]

$\huge\mathfrak\green{answer}$

$= q - \frac{q7}{10} c = \frac{41}{5}$

$\red{multiply}$

$= q - \frac{cq7}{10} = \frac{41}{5}$

$\red{subtract \: q \: from \: both \: sides}$

$= q - \frac{cq7}{10} - q = \frac{41}{5} - q$

$\red{now \: simplify}$

$= - \frac{cq7}{10} = \frac{41}{5} - q$

$\red{multiply \: 10 \: both \: sides}$

$= 10( - \frac{cq7}{10} ) = 10. \frac{41}{5} - 10q$

$\red{simplify}$

$= - cq7 = 82 - 10q$

$\red{now \: divide}$

$= \frac{ - cq7}{ - q7} - \frac{82}{ - q7} - \frac{10q}{ - q7}$

$\red{simplify}$

$= c = - \frac{82 - 10q}{q7} (q≠0)$

Brainliest? :) (I'd really appreciate if you mark me as brainliest)
