Answer:3/8 gallons of paint is needed to paint the entire fence.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the entire area of the fence that is to be painted.

If 1/4 of a gallon of paint is needed to paint 2/3 of a fence, it means that 1/4 of a gallon of paint is needed to paint 2x/3

The number of gallons needed to paint the entire fence would be

(x/4)/(2x/3) = x/4 × 3/2x = 3/8 gallons

\bf \begin{array}{ccll} \stackrel{paint}{gallons}&fence\\ \cline{1-2} \\\frac{1}{4}&\frac{2}{3}\\\\ x&1 \end{array}\implies \cfrac{~~\frac{1}{4}~~}{x}=\cfrac{~~\frac{2}{3}~~}{1}\implies \cfrac{~~\frac{1}{4}~~}{\frac{x}{1}}=\cfrac{2}{3}\implies \cfrac{1}{4}\cdot \cfrac{1}{x}=\cfrac{2}{3} \\\\\\ \cfrac{1}{4x}=\cfrac{2}{3}\implies 3=8x\implies \cfrac{3}{8}=x

The Reyes want grilled chicken and tilapia for dinner. Mrs.
seropon [69]

Answer:

Kilogram of chicken = 1

Kilogram of tilapia = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of chicken = 150 per kilo

Cost of tilapia = 100 per kilo

Number of kilos of each if total cost should not exceed 450

Let :

Number of kilo of chicken = x

Number of tilapia kilo = y

The constraint :

150x + 100y ≤ 450

We could choose some reasonable values of x and y then, test the constraint ;

If x = 1 and y = 3

150(1) + 100(3) = 450

Hence,

1 kilo of chicken with 3 kilos of tilapia offers the greatest combination of Number of kilograms of tilapia and chicken that could be purchased and still satisfy the maximum cost constraint.

Use the graph to determine the y intercept
mafiozo [28]

Answers:

  • y intercept:  9
  • zeros:  -3, -1, 1, 3

===============================================

Explanation:

The y intercept is where the curve crosses the y axis. The curve appears to do so just below y = 10, so y = 9 seems like a good estimate. I'm basing this off of the answer choices given. The y intercept always occurs when x = 0.

The zeros, aka roots or x intercepts, are where the curve crosses or touches the x axis. This occurs in four locations: x = -3, x = -1, x = 1 and x = 3. The x intercepts always occur when y = 0.

An 8 foot square floor is to be covered with square tiles measuring 8 inches on each side. If each tile costs 50 cents, how much
wariber [46]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  (c) $72

Step-by-step explanation:

Each tile is 8/12 ft = 2/3 ft on a side. Then 8/(2/3) = 12 tiles will fit along each edge of the square area to be tiled. That is ...

  12 × 12 = 144

tiles will be needed to cover the area.

The cost of 144 tiles at $0.50 each is ...

  (144)($0.50) = $72.00
