A container has 17 and 1/2 cups of lemonade.
Asher gives each of his classmates 5/6 of a cup.
He gives away all of the lemonade.
<u>Solution:</u>
There are 17.5 cups of lemonade.
Each classmate receives 5/6 of a cup.
So the number of classmates = Number of cups ÷ proportion of a cup each student receives
Number of classmates = 17.5 ÷ 5/6 = 21 classmates
There are 21 classmates.
Answer:
Wt
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the ratio is part-Whole, first you need to find the whole. If you add all of the marble colors together (17+13+23) you get the total marbles (53) in the box. The ratio of red marbles to the total would be 17 to 53.
You’re going to want to use the pythagorean theorem (a^2+b^2=c^2). Start with what you know your hypotenuse is 53 ft (c) and one of your sides is 45 ft (a). Plug in the equation: (45^2+b^2=53^2). Next square each side: (2025+b^2=2809). Then: (b^2=784). Finally square root: (b=28) So your answer is x=28 ft.
