There are 4,200 butterflies. 800 are orange, 200, purple, 400 are yellow and the rest are blue. What fraction of the butterflies
are blue ?
2 answers:
Answer:
2/3
Step-by-step explanation:
First you add all the colors. Then you subtract that number from 4200 to get the total number of blue buterfiles. After that, you put the total number of blue butterflies in the numerator and the 4200 would go in the denominator. Then you reduce until u get the final fraction.

Answer:
p = and q =
Step-by-step explanation:
Given equations:
2p - 3q = 4 -----------(i)
3p + 2q = 9 ------------(ii)
Let's solve this equation simultaneously using the <em>elimination method</em>
(a) Multiply equation (i) by 3 and equation (ii) by 2 as follows;
[2p - 3q = 4] x 3
[3p + 2q = 9] x 2
6p - 9q = 12 -------------(iii)
6p + 4q = 18 -------------(iv)
(b) Next, subtract equation (iv) from equation (iii) as follows;
[6p - 9q = 12]
<u> - [6p + 4q = 18] </u>
<u> -13q = -6 </u> -----------------(v)
<u />
<u>(c)</u> Next, make q subject of the formula in equation (v)
q =
(d) Now substitute the value of q = into equation (i) as follows;
2p - 3() = 4
(e) Now, solve for p in d above
<em>Multiply through by 13;</em>
26p - 18 = 52
<em>Collect like terms</em>
26p = 52 + 18
26p = 70
<em>Divide both sides by 2</em>
13p = 35
p =
Therefore, p = and q =
Answer:
<em>He will need 51 yards, 1 foot and 8 inches twine to wrap 29 cartons. </em>
Step-by-step explanation:
Muhammad uses 1 yard, 2 feet and 4 inches of twine to wrap each carton he packs.
<u>We know that, 1 yard = 36 inches and 1 foot = 12 inches</u>.
So, 1 yard, 2 feet and 4 inches inches.
That means, he uses 64 inches of twine to wrap each carton.
He has to pack 29 cartons today. So, <u>the total length of the twine he will need</u> inches.
Now....
1856 inches
Thus, he will need 51 yards, 1 foot and 8 inches twine to wrap 29 cartons.
