Clem Colfax had $10 to buy groceries. He needed milk costing 70 cents a carton, bread costing 60 cents a loaf, breakfast cereal

costing 50 cents a box, and meat costing $1.50 a pound. He bought twice as many cartons of milk as he did loaves of bread, the number of boxes of cereal was one more than the number of loaves of bread, and the number of pounds of meat was the same as the number of boxes of cereal. How many of each did he buy if the total he spent was exactly $10?

Cost of milk per carton = $ 70 cents = 70/100 = $0.7
Cost of bread per loaf = $60 cents = 60/100 = $0.6
Cost of cereals per box = $50 cents = 50/100 = $0.5
Cost of meat per pound = $1.50

If x is the number of cartons of milk bought, then
Number of loafs = x/2
Number pf boxes of cereals = x/2 +1
Number of pounds of meat = x/2 +1

Therefore,
0.7*x + 0.6*x/2 + 0.5 (x/2+1) + 1.5 (x/2+1) = 10
0.7x + 0.3x + 0.25x + 0.5 + 0.75x + 1.5 = 10
2x + 2 =10
2x = 8
x = 4

Substituting;
Milk cartons = 4
Number of bread = 4/2 = 2
Boxes of cereals = 2+1 = 3
Pounds of meat = 3

AB=AD. Enter the range of values for x. 40° 14° 9x-27 108. ?
zalisa [80]

The range of values of x as shown in the diagram is -9 < x < 15

<h3>Inequality expressions</h3>

Inequality are expressions not separated by an equal sign. The required inequality expression is given as:

|9x - 27| < 108

For the positive inequality

9x - 27 < 108

9x < 108 +27

9x < 135

x < 15

For the negative inequality

-9x +  27 < 108

-9x < 108 - 27

-9x < 91

x > -9

-9 < x

Hence the range of values of x as shown in the diagram is -9 < x < 15

How many 1/2 inch cubes can fit in a rectangular prisim with length of 2 height of 3/2 and width of 1.
Mrac [35]

Answer:

X=6

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

Length l=2

Height h=3/2

Width w=1

Generally the equation for Volume of the Rectangular prism is mathematically given by

 v=l*h*w

 v=2*\frac{3}{2}*1

 v=3m^3

Therefore the number of half 1/2 inch cube X in v is

 X=\frac{v}{1/2}

 X=6
