Answer:

48

Step-by-step explanation:

Pru, Piper, and Phoebe share spices in the ratio 5:3:4

5+3+4=12

So Pru has 5/12 share of spices, Piper has 3/12 share of spices, and Phoebe has 4/12 share of spices.

If Pru has 24 more spices than Piper, (5/12 - 3/12)=2/12 share of spices =24

Total spices = 24x12/2 = 144

Phoebe has 4/12x144 = 48 spices

Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:

Pru, Piper, Phoebe ratio 5:3:4vadded = 12

What this means is Pru has 5/12 of the total amount, Piper has 3/12 of the total amount, and Phoebe has 4/12 of the total amount of spices.


pru = piper + 24

5/12x = 3/12x + 24

5/12x - 3/12x = 24

2/12x = 24

x = 24 / (1/6)

x = 24 * 6

x = 144 spices in total


Pru has : 5/12(144) = 720/12 = 60 spices

Piper has : 3/12(144) = 432/12 = 36 spices

Phoebe has : 4/12(144) = 576/12 = 48 spices


I hope this can help.

The reason you chose the form y=mx+b is because that is the equation of any straight line, also known as a linear equation.

I really need help with solving x please
Luba_88 [7]
From the fact that the shape is a square, we know that one of the angles of the triangle in question must by 90 degrees (the lower left angle in this case). 

The triangle formed is also an isosceles triangle and therefore the two smaller angles must be equal to each other. (upper left and lower right) 

On top of this, we also know that the total of the angles must be 180 due to the fact that all triangles have interior angles that add to 180.

90 + (lower right) + (upper left) = 180

Since lower right and upper left are equal, we can use a single variable to represent them both.

90 + a + a = 180
90 + 2a = 180
2a = 90
a = 45
So, the degree of the lower right angle is 45. We can take this value and set 4x + 17 equal to it.

4x + 17 = 45
4x = 28
x = 7

Therefore, x is equal to 7.

Using an example, explain what the graph of a rational function looks like. Contrast this with other functions we have studied.
Naddika [18.5K]

The graph of a rational function differs from that of other functions with the existence of asymptotes

<h3>Graph of rational functions</h3>

The properties of the graph of a rational function include;

  • The graph of a rational function never crosses its vertical asymptote
  • It crosses its horizontal or slant asymptote
  • The graph of the reciprocal function y = 1/x or y = k/x is a rectangular (or right) hyperbola of which asymptotes are the coordinate axes

The graph of a rational function differs from that of other functions with the existence of asymptotes.

Zolol [24]

Answer:

B=\frac{V+5}{H}

Step-by-step explanation:

Add 5 to both sides:

V+5=BH

Divide both sides by H:

B=\frac{V+5}{H}
