Answer:

60+5x = 180    

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of bags of potatoes be x.

We have been given that a grocery store receives a 180-pound crate containing six 10-pound bags of potatoes and an unknown number of 5-pound bags of potatoes.

The weight of 6 potato bags of 10 pound each will be 6\times 10=60 pounds.

We can write an equation for the number of bags of potatoes by equating the weight of six 10-pound bags of potatoes and x 5-pound bags of potatoes with 180 pounds.  

6*10+5x = 180

60+5x = 180

Therefore, the equation that represents the number of bags of potatoes in the crate is 60+5x = 180.

ASHA 777 [7]

Answer:

6:13 or 6/13

Step-by-step explanation:

the total number of marbles is 26

the total number of red marbles is 12

6 to 13

6:13 OR 6/13

<em>(I was not sure if I was supposed to leave it as 12:26 or simplify it to 6:13, but I think 6:13 is more reasonable since it is asking for a ration)</em>

Jenny is comparing the cost of two packages of socks.One package has 8 pairs of socks for $12.Another package has 3 pairs of soc
EleoNora [17]

Answer:

  no

Step-by-step explanation:

The second package costs $2 for each pair of socks. If the first package cost that much, it would be 8×$2 = $16 for 8 pairs of socks. That is not the same as $12 for 8 pairs.

__

Another way to look at it is the first package costs twice as much as the second, but has more than twice as many pairs of socks. That means the rates are not equivalent.

Will give brainliest to right answer please help!! 15 points -A sample of a radioactive isotope had an initial mass of 370 mg
Alex777 [14]

Answer:

78 mg

Step-by-step explanation:

370 mg - 110 mg = 260 mg (amount decayed in the 8 total years)

260 mg ÷ 8 years = 32.5 mg decayed per year

32.5 × 9 years (years between 2008 and 2017) = 292.5 mg

370 mg - 292.5 mg = 77.5 mg, rounded to 78 mg

Optimization problem: what are the dimensions of the lightest open-top right circularcylindrical can that will hold a volume of
vivado [14]
So Volume of cylinder is pi*r^2*h = 1,000 

Then lightest one means you have the smallest surface area. Which is one base and then the area of the surface. SA = pi*r^2 + 2pi*r*h 

So now you have 2 equations, so: 

h = 1,000/(pi*r^2) 
So then SA = pi*r^2 + 2pi*r*(1,000/(pi*r^2) = pi*r^2 + 2,000/r 

Derivative of SA is then 2pi*r -2,000/r^2. Set to 0 

2pi*r-2,000/r^2 =0 --> 2pi*r^3 = 2,000 --> r^3 = 1,000/pi --> r = 10/pi^(1/3) 

Now go back to the volume function: pi*r^2*h =1,000 --> 1,000/(pi*100/pi^(2/3)) = h 
<span>h = 10 / pi^(1/3)</span>
