Juan and Raj cut up a banana to put on cereal. Juan puts 17 of the banana on his bowl of cereal, and Raj puts 25 of the banana

rusak2 [61]

<h3><u>Question:</u></h3>

Juan and raj cut up a banana to put on cereal. juan puts 1/7 of the banana on his bowl of cereal, and raj puts 2/5 of the banana on his bowl of cereal.

what fraction of the banana did juan and raj put on their cereal altogether?

a. 2/35 banana

b. 3/12 banana

c. 3/7 banana

d. 19/35 banana

<h3><u>Answer:</u></h3>

Juan and Raj altogether put 19/35 banana

<h3><u>Solution</u>:</h3>

Given that, Juan and Raj cut up a banana to put on cereal

$fraction\ of\ banana\ put\ by\ Juan = \frac{1}{7}\\\\fraction\ of\ banana\ put\ by\ Raj = \frac{2}{5}$

We have to find the fraction of banana put by Juan and Raj altogether

This means, we have to add both the fractions

$fraction\ of\ banana\ put\ altogether = fraction\ of\ banana\ put\ by\ Juan + fraction\ of\ banana\ put\ by\ Raj$

$fraction\ of\ banana\ put\ altogether = \frac{1}{7} + \frac{2}{5}\\\\\text{Cross multiply to simplify }\\\\fraction\ of\ banana\ put\ altogether = \frac{1 \times 5 + 2 \times 7}{7 \times 5}\\\\fraction\ of\ banana\ put\ altogether = \frac{5+14}{35}\\\\fraction\ of\ banana\ put\ altogether = \frac{19}{35}$

Thus they put $\frac{19}{35}$ of banana by Juan and Raj altogether

Y=4x + 3 and 2x + y = 39 how can I find the answer

Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

x=6

Step-by-step explanation:

2x+(4x+3)=39

2x+4x+3=39

6x+3=39

6x=39-3

6x=36

x=36÷6

x=6

A store sells 12-packs of ballpoint pens for $1.09 each and composition books for $2.79 each. Cindy buys m packs of ballpoint pe

pogonyaev

A 5% discount indicates that her total purchase amount will be decreased by 5%. Paying full price could be shown as 1.00, so we must subtract 0.05 from the full price to represent the discounted total (1.00-0.05 = 0.95).
Only one choice, D, contains this multiplier so we can be certain of this answer.

Find the dimensions of an open rectangular box with a square base that holds 2000 cubic cm and is constructed with the least bui

Vesnalui [34]

<h3>The dimensions of the given rectangular box are:</h3><h3>L = 15.874 cm , B = 15.874 cm , H = 7.8937 cm</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume that the dimension of the square base = S x S

Let us assume the height of the rectangular base = H

So, the total area of the open rectangular box

= Area of the base + 4 x ( Area of the adjacent faces)

= S x S + 4 ( S x H) = S² + 4 SH ..... (1)

Also, Area of the box = S x S x H = S²H

⇒ S²H = 2000

$\implies H = \frac{2000}{S^2}$

Substituting the value of H in (1), we get:

$A = S^2 + 4 SH = S^2 + 4 S(\frac{2000}{S^2}) = S^2 + (\frac{8000}{S})\\\implies A = S^2 + (\frac{8000}{S})$

Now, to minimize the area put :

$(\frac{dA}{dS} ) = 0 \implies 2S - \frac{8000}{S^2} = 0\\\implies S^3 = 4000\\\implies S = 15.874 \approx 16 cm$

Putting the value of S = 15.874 cm in the value of H , we get:

$\implies H = \frac{2000}{S^2} = \frac{2000}{(15.874)^2} = 7.8937 cm$

Hence, the dimensions of the given rectangular box are:

L = 15.874 cm

B = 15.874 cm

H = 7.8937 cm
