New packaging for fruit snacks contains 10% less weight than the original packaging. If the new package costs 15% more than the

original package, by what fraction did the unit price increase? Express your answer as a common fraction.

Answer:

5/18

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say the original packaging was 1 lb of packaging for $1.

The cost was $1/lb.

Then the weight went down by 10% and the price went up by 15%.

Now 0.9 lb of packaging cost $1.15.

The new unit cost is $1.15/(0.9 lb)

The difference is

$1.15/(0.9 lb) - $1/lb =

= $1.15/(0.9 lb) - $0.9/(0.9 lb)

= $0.25/(0.9 lb)

=$25/(90 lb) = $5/(18 lb)

The price went up by 5/18.

Surely help I’ll brainlist.<br><br> construct a histogram to represent these results.
AnnZ [28]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to first put the numbers in suitable catagories

0-120

120-130

130-140

140-150

then figure out the frequency of them

0-120=4

121-130=20

131-140=2  

141-150=2

then put in a graph(sry its not very good i was in a rush)

5. An airplane takes 4 hr to travel a distance of 4100 km. Another airplane travels at a speed
Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

4.969696 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance traveled is shown through the following equations

Distance = velocity * time

This means that

4100=velocity*4

This means that ariplane 1 travles at 1025 km/hr

We can then subtract 200 from this to find that airplane two travels at a speed of 825 km/hr

Now we need to find how long it takes for that plane to travel 4100

So using the same equation

4100=825*time

Divison will tell us that the answer is around 4.9696 hours which is pretty much 5

Two isosceles triangles have the same base length. the legs of one of the triangles are twice as long as the legs of the other.
Makovka662 [10]
An isosceles triangle is a type of triangle where 2 sides are equal.

Picture out 2 triangles with the same base length. 
On the first triangle, its legs are twice the length of the legs of the second triangle.

To put it into variables, let:
     B = the same base length of the two triangles
     A = the length of one leg the smaller triangle
    2A = the length of one leg of the bigger triangle

Given:    Perimeter of smaller triangle = 23cm
              Perimeter of bigger triangle = 43cm

Recall the formula for solving the perimeter of a triangle:
      Perimeter = A + B + C
   
where, A, B, and C are the legs of the triangle

Since the triangle involved is an isosceles triangle, therefore, we can say that
        Perimeter = 2A + B     ,   2 legs are equal ( A=C )

Substituting the given perimeter value to the formula. 
   
23cm = 2A + B                    ⇒   equation 1  (smaller triangle)
43cm = 2(2A) + B                ⇒   equation 2  (bigger triangle)

Simplifying equation 2.
                                    43cm = 4A + B
  (rearranging)             B = 43cm - 4A        ⇒ equation 3

Substituting equation 3 to equation 1:
   (equation 1)              23cm = 2A + B
                                    23cm = 2A + (43cm - 4A)
                                    23cm = -2A + 43cm
                                    2A = 43cm - 23cm
                                    2A = 20cm  ⇒   length of the leg of the bigger triangle
                                     A = 10cm   ⇒   length of the leg of the smaller triangle

To solve for the base length, just substitute the value of A to equation 3
     (equation 3)       B = 43cm - 4A
                               B = 43cm - 4(10cm)
                               B = 3 cm

Final Answer:

• For the smaller triangle, the length of the sides are 10cm, 10cm, and 3cm
• For the bigger triangle, the length of the sides are 20cm, 20cm, and 3cm
