One pound of swordfish costs as much as 1.5 pounds of salmon. Mrs. O pays $39 for 2 pounds of salmon and 3 pounds of swordfish.

Find the ratio of the amount of money Mrs. O pays for the swordfish to the amount of money she pays for the swordfish.
I know the answer is 9:4, but how would you do this without algebra?

Answer:

The ratio of the amount for swordfish to the amount of salmon is 6:4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The price for 1 pound of swordfish = The price of 1.5 pound of salmon

So, On this relation

The price for ( 1 × 2 ) pound of swordfish = The price of ( 1.5× 2 )  pound of salmon

i.e The price for 2 pound of swordfish = The price of 3 pound of salmon

Now According to question

Mrs. O pay the total money for 2 pounds of swordfish and 3 pound of salmon = $ 39

Let the money she pay for swordfish = 2 sw

And The money she pay for salmon = 3 sa

∵, The total money she pay for both  = $ 39

I.e  2 sw + 3 sa = 39

As 2 sw = 3 sa

So, 3 sa + 3 sa = 39

Or, 6 sa = 39

or, sa = \frac{39}{6} = \frac{13}{2}

∴ sw = \frac{13}{2} × \frac{3}{2}

or, sw = \frac{39}{4}

Now, the ratio of the amount for swordfish to the amount of salmon = \frac{\frac{39}{4}}{\frac{13}{2}}

I.e The ratio = \frac{6}{4}

Hence The ratio of the amount for swordfish to the amount of salmon is 6:4

↪Cartesian Coordinates of the system....!!

↪X = rcos⊙ and Y = rsin⊙

↪since here Radius (r) = 10 units and Theta (⊙) = 225°

↪there fore substituting we get as ..

↪X = 10 ( cos 225° ) = 10 * -1/ root 2 = -7.071

↪Y = 10 ( sin 225° ) = 10 * -1/root2 = = -7.071

↪the cordinates are as follows

↪(x,y) = (-7.071, -7.071 )

Akimi4 [234]

Answer:

24

Step-by-step explanation:

A triangle is a three sided polygon with three edges and three vertices

There are different types of triangles. They include :

  • Right angled triangle - one of the angles measure 90 degrees
  • equilateral triangle - all three sides of the triangle are equal
  • isosceles triangle - two sides of the triangle are equal

Area of a triangle = 1/2 x ( base x height)

1/2 x (6 x 8) = 24 ft²
