Answer:
There is no unique solution to this problem.
There are infinitely many solutions to this problem.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let B denotes broccoli crop
Let S denotes spinach crop
Last year, he grew 6 tons of broccoli per acre and 9 tons of spinach per acre, for a total of 93 tons of vegetables.
Mathematically,
6B + 9S = 93 eq. 1
This year, he grew 2 tons of broccoli per acre and 3 tons of spinach per acre, for a total of 31 tons of vegetables.
Mathematically,
2B + 3S = 31
2B = 31 - 3S
B = (31 - 3S)/2 eq. 2
Substitute eq. 2 into eq. 1
6B + 9S = 93
6[(31 - 3S)/2] + 9S = 93
3(31 - 3S) + 9S = 93
93 - 9S + 9S = 93
- 9S + 9S = 93 - 93
0 = 0
Therefore, there is no unique solution to this problem.
Which means that there are infinitely many solutions to this problem.
Answer: Since 1/3 can't be turned into a decimal, change .5 into 1/2. In order to subtract, the fractions need a common denominator. The least common denominator is 6. So 1/3 turns into 2/6, and 1/2 turns into 3/6. Now you need to take 9 3/6 minus 6 2/6. The answer is 3 1/6 gallons of water.

Answer:
B. 600 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for the Perimeter of a right triangle = Side a + Side b + Side c
The perimeter of a right triangle is 60 feet
If the lengths of the sides of the triangle are each multiplied by 10, what is the perimeter of the new right triangle?
Hence, the perimeter of the new right triangle = 10 × 60ft
= 600ft
Option B is the correct Option.
Answer:
Victor originally had $80
Step-by-step explanation:
Let Victor have $4x
Let Susie have $7x
Since Victor spent half his money, he now has $2x
Susie spent $60 and thus now has $(7x - 60)
The final ratio of Victor's money to Susie's money is therefore 2x : $(7x - 60). This is given 1:2. Now we just need to solve the proportion by cross-multiplying
2x : (7x - 60) = 1:2
1 × (7x - 60) = 2 × 2x
7x - 60 = 4x
3x = 60
x = 20
Therefore Victor originally had $4x = $80.
Theres a saying: Dividing fractions dont ask why, just flip the second and multiply.
so a/b / c/d = a/b * d/c
-8/2 * -3/6
1. cross - cancel common factor 2
4/2 * -3/3
2. Multiply
-4(-3)/ 2*3
3. multiply numbers
--12/2*3
- -12/6
4. Apply fraction rule -a/b=- a/b
=-(-12/6)
5. divide
= -(-2)
6. Apply rule -(-a)=a
=2
Your answer would be 2
