Answer:

Pretend that x and y represents the 2 numbers that we need to find.

According to the information, we know that:

x + y = 21

6x = y

Replace y in the first equation with 6x (because they are equal to each other according to the second equation):

x + y = 21

x + 6x = 21

7x = 21

x = 21/7 = 3

Now have two ways to find y, both will give us the same result:

3 + y = 21 ⇔ y = 21 - 3 = 18

6 · 3 = y ⇔ y = 18

So the numbers that we need to find are 3 and 18.

Answer:

3 and 18.

Step-by-step explanation:

If one number is x then the other is 6x.

So, x + 6x = 21

7x = 21

x = 3.

The other number is 21 - 3 = 18.

Mr. West is standing on a cliff that is 25 1/5meters above the surface of the ocean. He spots a dolphin that is 2 3/5 meters und

zhenek [66]

Answer:

Total distance from Mr. West to dolphin $=27\frac{4}{5}\ meters$

Step-by-step explanation:

Height of cliff on which Mr. West is standing above the surface of ocean = $25 \frac{1}{5} \ meters$

Mr. West spot the dolphin under the water at a depth of = $2\frac{3}{5} \ meters$

∴ Total distance from Mr. West to dolphin= $(25 \frac{1}{5}+2\frac{3}{5})\ meters$

Adding mixed numbers

$(25 \frac{1}{5}+2\frac{3}{5})$

Adding whole numbers first.

$=25+2+\frac{1}{5}+\frac{3}{5}\\=27+\frac{1}{5}+\frac{3}{5}$

Adding fractions by taking LCD.

$=27+\frac{1+3}{5}\\=27+\frac{4}{5}\\=27\frac{4}{5}\ meters$

e-lub [12.9K]

This is just another way of asking "what is the volume of a sphere of 6cm"
The volume of a sphere is $V= \frac{3}{4} \pi R^{3}$
The R is 3cm in this problem since the diameter is twice the radius. For a 3cm radius sphere this is 113.1cm^3

Find the HCF of 960 and 432

sdas [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Using Uclid's division algorithm, the HCF of 960 and 432 can be obtained as follows:

Here, 960 is greater and 432 is smaller. We divide 960 by 432.

STEP 1:

960 = 432*2 + 96

STEP 2:

Divide divisor (432) by remainder (96)

432 = 96 * 4 + 48

STEP 3:

Divide divisor (96) by remainder (48)

96 = 48 * 2 + 0

Since, remainder at this step is zero (0), so the HCF would be the divisor of this step which is 48.

Thus, HCF of 960 and 432 is 48

NemiM [27]

$\frac{1}{6}$ or 0.167 pounds more butter was used than sugar

Solution:

Given that, Desmond's Desserts made a batch of fresh scones with 2/3 of a pound of butter and 1/2 of a pound of sugar

To find: Amount of butter used than sugar

From given information,

$\text{Butter used} = \frac{2}{3} \text{ pound }$

$\text{Sugar used } = \frac{1}{2} \text{ pound }$

To find how much butter is used than sugar, find the difference between them

$Difference = Butter\ used - Sugar\ used$

$Difference = \frac{2}{3} - \frac{1}{2}\\\\Difference = \frac{2 \times 2-1 \times 3}{3 \times 2}\\\\Difference =\frac{4-3}{6}\\\\Difference =\frac{1}{6} = 0.167\\\\$

Thus $\frac{1}{6}$ or 0.167 pounds more butter was used than sugar
