First, we determine the number of onions bought by Amanda using the given ratio above,

      O1 = (60 lbs potato)(4.5 lbs onion/18 lbs potato)
       O1 = 15 lbs onions

This should also be the same as the amount of onions bought by Jessica. With this, we can then determine the amount of broccoli bought by Jessica given the ratios.

         B = (15 lbs onions)(18 lbs broccoli/4 lbs onions)
                 B = 67.5 lbs broccoli.

Answer: 67.5 lbs broccoli

(\sqrt[5]{x^{7}})^{3}=(x^{\frac{7}{5}})^{3}=x^{\frac{7\cdot3}{5}}=x^{\frac{21}{5}}

The root is equivalent to a fractional power with that number as the denominator. Otherwise, the rules of exponents apply.

Find the value of x such that l ⊥ m. A) 10.7 B) 16 C) 46 D) 48
dsp73

Answer:

<h3>B. 16°</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagram lacks the appropriate figure. Find the figure attached. If the line I is perpendicular to m, this means that the sum of the given angles will be equal to 90° as shown;

(3x+5)° + 37° = 90°

open the parenthesis

3x+5 + 37° = 90°

3x+42 = 90

subtract 42 from both sides of the equation

3x+42-42 = 90-42

3x = 48

Divide both sides of the resulting equation by 3;

3x/3 = 48/3

<em>x = 16</em>

<em>Hence the value of x is 16°</em>
