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

In a school, the ratio of soccer players to volleyball players is 4 : 1. The number of soccer players is how many times the numb
soldier1979 [14.2K]

Your question appears to be phrased incorrectly.  If the ratio of soccer players to football players is 4:1 then for every 1 football player there are 4 soccer players.  For example, if there are 3 football players, there would be 12 soccer players.

The equivalent expression would be   S = 4F

The statement: "there are 4 more soccer players than football players" is not the same thing.  It simply means that we add 4 to the total of football players to find out how many soccer players there are.

The equivalent expression would be   S = F + 4

That being said:  An equivalent ratio to 4:1  would be  8:2 ,  12:3,  16:4, ...

Think of the ratio as a fraction.  4:1 = 4/1

4/1 = 8/2 = 12/3 = 16/4 ..., etc.

Consider triangle ABC where AB=X+5, BC=X-2, area is 30cm squared. Find X by solving X^2+3X-70=0, and find the perimeter.
klasskru [66]

Answer:

What the hell AC is not given so you can't find the Perimeter

Step-by-step explanation:

  • x^2+3x-70=0
  • (x-7)(x+10)=0
  • x-7=0

       x+10=0

  • x=7

       x=-10

AB=x+5

  • AB=12

        AB=-5

BC=x-2

  • BC=5

        BC=-12

Area of ABC = 30cm2

<u>Perimeter of ABC = AB+BC+</u><u>AC</u>

Can 1/2 be written as a terminating decimal?
igor_vitrenko [27]
Yes it can and the answer would be 0.5

Terminating decimals are numbers that never stop going after the period. Such an example would be 10/3 which would give 3.333333 indefinitely. 1/2 gives a whole number, that is, 0.5
