A landscaper needs 348 pounds of plant food. He has 114 pounds in his truck, and another 46 pound at his shop.

Answer:

$\frac{19}{12}\ pounds$

or

$1\frac{7}{12}\ pounds$

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>The correct question is </em></u>

A landscaper needs 3 4/8 pounds of plant food. He has 1 1/4 pounds in his truck, and another 4/6 pound at his shop. How many more pounds of plant food does the landscaper need?

Let

x ----> the additional pounds of plant food needed for the landscaper

we know that

The additional pounds of plant food needed for the landscaper plus the pounds in his truck plus the pounds in his shop must be equal to the total pounds of plant food needed

so

The linear equation that represent this problem is

$x+1\frac{1}{4}+\frac{4}{6}=3\frac{4}{8}$

Convert mixed number to an improper fractions

$1\frac{1}{4}=1+\frac{1}{4}=\frac{4*1+1}{4}=\frac{5}{4}$

$3\frac{4}{8}=3+\frac{4}{8}=\frac{3*8+4}{8}=\frac{28}{8}=\frac{14}{4}$

Substitute in the expression above

$x+\frac{5}{4}+\frac{4}{6}=\frac{14}{4}$

solve for x

Multiply by (4*6) both sides to remove the fractions

$24x+30+16=84$

Combine like terms left side

$24x+46=84$

subtract 46 both sides

$24x=84-46$

$24x=38$

Divide by 24 both sides

$x=\frac{38}{24}\ pounds$

simplify

$x=\frac{19}{12}\ pounds$

Convert to mixed number

$\frac{19}{12}\ pounds=\frac{12}{12}+\frac{7}{12}=1\frac{7}{12}\ pounds$

40% of the students passed both exams. 80% of the students passed the second exam. how many students (in percent) who passed the

navik [9.2K]

50%. students (in percent) who passed the second exam also passed the first exam.

Let's imagine that there are 100 kids in the teacher's class. We know that 40 of them passed BOTH tests, and 80 passed the second test.

Because if they weren't, they wouldn't have passed the first test and consequently wouldn't have passed both, we can be sure that the group of students who passed BOTH tests is only made up of the 80 who passed the second test.

Thus, both tests were passed by 40 of the 80 pupils who passed the second one:

40/80 = 1/2 = 50%.

Maggie is displaying paperback and hardback books on her book shelf. The ratio of hardback books to total books is 5 to 13. Whic

lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

Total Paperback books = 8x , where x is any positive number

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

The total books are = 13x ; where x is any positive number

As given,

The ratio of hardback books to total books is 5 to 13.

⇒Hardback books = $\frac{5}{13}$ × Total books

⇒Hardback books = $\frac{5}{13}$ × 13x = 5x

So, Paperback books = Total books - Hardback books

= 13x - 5x

= 8x

⇒Total Paperback books = 8x
