5/9 + 1/3 + tuna = 1

tuna =   1  - 5/9 - 1/3.           LCM = 9

tuna = 9/9 - 5/9 - 3/9 = (9 - 5 - 3)/9 = 1/9

Fraction of tuna = 1/9

Let all the puffs be x.   Recall there are 18 tuna

(1/9)x = 18

x/9 = 18

x = 9*18

x = 162

There are 162 puffs in all.

Let n be the total number of puffs. Now we can write:
n=\frac{5}{9}n+\frac{1}{3}n+18
Adding the fractional value of n, we get:
n=\frac{5+3}{9}n+18
Simplifying and rearranging gives us:
n-\frac{8}{9}n=18
Therefore we can simplify to get:
\frac{1}{9}n=18
and finally
n=18\times9=?
The fraction of the puff that are tuna is found from:
\frac{18}{18\times9}=\frac{1}{9}

35% is 7 out of what number?
o-na [289]

Answer:

The number is <u>20</u>.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, it is said that 35% of a number is equal to 7, then what is that number?

So, let the number be <em>x</em>.

Now, according to the question :

\begin{gathered} \begin{array}{l} \quad{\dashrightarrow{\sf{35 \% \: of \: x = 7}}}\\\\\quad{\dashrightarrow{\sf{\dfrac{35}{100} \: of \: x = 7}}}\\\\\quad{\dashrightarrow{\sf{\dfrac{35}{100}  \times x = 7}}}\\\\\quad{\dashrightarrow{\sf{\dfrac{35 \times x}{100} = 7}}}\\\\\quad{\dashrightarrow{\sf{\dfrac{35x}{100} = 7}}}\\\\\quad{\dashrightarrow{\sf{x = 7 \times \dfrac{100}{35}}}}\\\\\quad{\dashrightarrow{\sf{x =\dfrac{700}{35}}}}\\\\ \quad{\dashrightarrow{\sf{x = \cancel{\dfrac{700}{35}}}}}\\\\ \quad{\dashrightarrow{\sf{x =20}}}\\\\ \quad{\star{\underline{\boxed{\tt{\red{x =20}}}}}} \end{array}\end{gathered}

Hence, the number is 20.

Simplify the following expression:<br> |2+4i|
Eva8 [605]
Use distance formula (Pythagorean theorem) to find the complex number's distance from zero. There is an imaginary axis and a real axis, and these behave very much like the regular x and y axes. √(2² + 4²) = √20 
The absolute value of 2 + 4i is √20
