The answer is 9
12 ounces x
--------------- = ----------------
10 pounds of soil 120 pounds of soil
Set the equation up as a proportion and solve for x:
10x = 1440
---- -----
10 10
x = 144 ounces
The question asks for the answer in pounds, and 16 ounces = 1 pound.
144/16 = 9
Answer:
it takes 24h
Step-by-step explanation:
X cannot be 6 or -2/5 because if they were the denominator would be zero
X+y=15
0.3x+0.6y=0.4*15=6
solve the system of equation.
Multiply equation one by 0.3: 0.3x+0.3y=4.5
subtract the new from the second equation: 0.3y=1.5
y=5
x=10
Step-by-step explanation:
15=2c+7
15-7=2c
8=2c
8/2=c
4=c
c=4
