He can make 3 batches of soup.

Starting with 10 pounds of tomatoes and taking out the number of pounds he sets aside for spaghetti sauce, 2.8, we have:
10-2.8 = 7.2 pounds left.

0.2 is read as "two tenths," so 7.2 = 7 2/10

We divide this remaining number of pounds by 2 2/5 for each batch of soup:

7 2/10 ÷ 2 2/5

Convert each to an improper fraction:
72/10 ÷ 12/5

Multiply by the reciprocal:
72/10 × 5/12 = 360/120 = 3

The height of a triangular window is 3 feet less than its base. The area the window is 20 ft.? find the dimensions of the window
Ivenika [448]

Let us assume base of the window = b feet.

Height is 3 feet less than base, that is = (b-3).

Given area of the triangle = 20 feet square.

We know formula for area of a triangle:

Area = \frac{1}{2} × Base × Height

Plugging values in formula, we get

20 = \frac{1}{2} b \times (b-3)

\mathrm{Multiply\:both\:sides\:by\:}2

40=b\left(b-3\right)

40=b^2-3b

b^2-3b-40=0

Factoring quadratic, we get

\left(b+5\right)\left(b-8\right)=0

b+5=0

b=-5

b-8=0

b=8.

For base we can take only positive value.

<h3>Therefore, base of the triangle = 8 feet and height = 8 -3 = 5 feet.</h3>

In a basketball game 96 points were scored. The winners scored twice as many as the losers. How many points did each team score?
RSB [31]

set up an equation for this.  x will be the score of the losing team.  x+2x=96.  Then solve for x.  3x=96.  x=96/3 x=32.  So the losing team got 32 points and the winning team got 64
