Answer:

x = 54 cookies

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use ratios to solve this problem


1 1/3 cups chocolate chips    3 cups chocolate chips

------------------------------------  = --------------------------------------

24 cookies                                   x cookies


Using cross products

1 1/3 * x = 3 * 24

Let change 1 1/3 to an improper fraction

1 1/3 = (3*1+1)/3 = 4/3

4/3 x = 72

Multiply each side by 3/4 to isolate x

3/4 * 4/3x = 72*3/4

x = 54 cookies

Two ice skaters started on opposite ends of a 200-foot-long rink and then skated toward each
SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

The proportion that can be used to find x is;

(200-x)/x = 7/6

Step-by-step explanation:

Now, we want to find the proportion which can be used to find x.

From the question, we are told that the father skater traveled 7 ft for every 6 ft of the slower skater;

this means that the ratio of their speed is 7:6

Now, when they passed each other , the slower skater has traveled x ft, what this means is that the faster skater will have traveled a distance of (200-x) ft at that moment they passed each other.

Mathematically, since their time is equal i.e the time they used to pass each other, then, the ratio of their distances is same as the ratio of their speeds;

Hence;

(200-x)/x = 7/6 or x/(200-x) = 6/7

You invest $40,000 in two funds paying 4% and 52% simple interest. The total annual interest is $2080. How much do you invest in
natali 33 [55]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  • 4% fund: $39,000
  • 52% fund: $1000

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the amount invested at 52%. Then (40000-x) is the amount invested at 4%. The total annual interest is ...

  0.52x +0.04(40000-x) = 2080

  0.48x = 480 . . . . . . . . . subtract 1600, simplify

  x = 1000 . . . . . . . . . divide by 0.48

Then the amounts invested in each fund are ...

  4% fund: $39,000

  52% fund: $1000
