Answer:
x = 12.5
Step-by-step explanation:
The question is missing some parts. Here is the complete question.
Mrs. Smith is making homemade silly putty for hte children in her class. Here is how the ingredients are mixed:
1/5 of the mixture is starch
1/2 of the mixture is glue
1/5 of the mixture is water
1/10 of the mixture is borax
When theingredients are mixed in the same ratio as shwon above, every batch of silly putty will be the same consistency. Study hte measurements for each batch in the table. Fill in the blanks so that every batch will have the same consistency.
Mrs. Smith wants to mix a 15-cup batch of the mixture for Mr. Brown's class. How many cups of each ingredient should she use in the mixture?
________ cups starch
________ cups glue
________ cups water
________ cups borax
Answer: 3 cups of starch;
7.5 cups of glue;
3 cups of water;
1.5 cups of borax
Step-by-step explanation: The ratio to create the same consistency for the silly putty is 1/5:1/2:1/5:1/10, which means that for the whole mixture one fifth is starch; half is glue; another one fifth is water and one tenth is borax.
For a batch of 15 cups:
Starch = 1/5.15
Starch = 3
Glue = 1/2.15
Glue = 7.5
Water = 1/5.15
Water = 3
Borax = 1/10.15
Borax = 1.5
In other words, to create a 15-cup batch of silly putty with the same consistency described above, Mrs. Smith will have to mix 3 cups of atrach, 7.5 cups of glue, 3 cups of water and 1.5 cups of borax.
Area of the triangle is 76.25 in²
Step-by-step explanation:
- Step 1: Find the area of the triangle with base = 15 1/4 in and height = 10 in
Area of the triangle = 1/2 × base × height
= 1/2 × 61/4 × 10 = 76.25 in²
Given the pair of simultaneous equation:
y=-2/5x-2
y=5x+1
To evaluate the solution of the system of equation from the graph, we obtain the point at which the two linear equations have intersected. taking the values of x and y from the point of intersection that will be the solution of the system of linear equations.
In our case the straight lines have intersected at the point (-0.5, -1.75). This implies that:
x=-0.5
y=-1.75
hence the answer is a] (-0.5, -1.75)
