Answer:
He bought 6 bags of candies, and 5 bags of popcorn
She has 1/2 cup left. 3/4 + 3/8 equals 1 1/8 subtract that by 5/8 and you have 1/2
You have 2 equations that are both equal to y. If they are both equal to y, then by the transitive property of equality, they are equal to each other (if a = b, and b = c, then a = c).
5x - 17 = x + 3 and
4x = 20 and x = 5. Now sub in that x value of 5 to solve for y:
y = 5 + 3 and y = 8. So the ordered pair is (5, 8)
Answer:
The amount of mango juice needed is 8 quarts
Step-by-step explanation:
To calculate the amount of mango juice needed, we will need to know the amount used the previous week.
Cranberry juice to Mango juice is 3:2 with cranberry used being 4 quarts. Let the quarts of Mango juice used be x
This means;
3/2 = 4/x
1.5 = 4/x
1.5x = 4
x = 4/1.5 quarts
Since they are making 3 times as much punch, the amount of mango juice needed will be 4/1.5 * 3 = 4 * 2 = 8 quarts
