Set up an equal proportion: \frac{1/4}{12} = \frac{x}{60}

Cross multiply to get 1/4*60 = 12x

Simplify to 15 = 12x

Divide both sides by 12 to get 1.25 = x

So she needs 1.25 cups of flour, or 1\frac{1}{4}

Answer:

1 1/4 cups because 12 goes into 60, 5 times so multiply 1/4 by 5 and get 1 1/4

susan designed a circular pool with a diameter of 24 meters. what is the area of the bottom of the pool?
Gennadij [26K]
Diameter = 24 m

radius = diameter/2 = 24 m / 2 = 12 m

area = pi * r^2 = 3.14 * (12 m)^2 = 3.14 * 144 m^2 = 452.16 m^2

At a restaurant, three salads, two sandwiches, and one drink cost $17.75. One salad, one sandwich, and three drinks cost $10.75.
Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

A salad costs $2.50

A sandwich costs $4.50

A drink costs $1.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the salad, y represent the sandwich, and z represent the drink.

Since three salads, two sandwiches, and one drink cost $17.75:

3x + 2y + z = 17.75  (1)

Since one salad, one sandwich, and three drinks cost $10.75:

x + y + 3z = 10.75  (2)

Since a salad costs twice as much as a drink:

x = 2z  (3)

Multiply the equation 2 by -2 then, sum the equation 1 and equation 2:

-2x - 2y - 6z = -21.50

3x + 2y + z = 17.75

→ x - 5z = -3.75

Replace the x with 2z using equation 3:

2z - 5z = -3.75

-3z = -3.75

z = 1.25

x = 2z → x = 2.50

x + y + 3z = 10.75 → 2.50 + y + 3.75 = 10.75 → y + 6.25 = 10.75 → y = 4.50

Detmermine the best method to solve the following equation, then solve the equation. (3x-5)^2=-125
liq [111]

For the given equation;

(3x-5)^2=-125

We shall begin by expanding the parenthesis on the left side, after which we would combine all terms on and move all of them to the left side, which shall yield a quadratic equation. Then we shall solve.

Let us begin by expanding the parenthesis;

\begin{gathered} (3x-5)^2\Rightarrow(3x-5)(3x-5) \\ (3x-5)(3x-5)=9x^2-15x-15x+25 \\ (3x-5)^2=9x^2-30x+25 \end{gathered}

Now that we have expanded the left side of the equation, we would have;

\begin{gathered} 9x^2-30x+25=-125 \\ \text{Add 125 to both sides and we'll have;} \\ 9x^2-30x+25+125=-125+125 \\ 9x^2-30x+150=0 \end{gathered}

We shall now solve the resulting quadratic equation using the quadratic formula as follows;

\begin{gathered} x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt[]{b^2-4ac}}{2a} \\ \text{Where;} \\ a=9,b=-30,c=150 \\ x=\frac{-(-30)\pm\sqrt[]{(-30)^2-4(9)(150)}}{2(9)} \\ x=\frac{30\pm\sqrt[]{900-5400}}{18} \\ x=\frac{30\pm\sqrt[]{-4500}}{18} \\ x=\frac{30\pm\sqrt[]{-900\times5}}{18} \\ x=\frac{30\pm\sqrt[]{-900}\times\sqrt[]{5}}{18} \\ x=\frac{30\pm30i\sqrt[]{5}}{18} \\ \text{Therefore;} \\ x=\frac{30+30i\sqrt[]{5}}{18},x=\frac{30-30i\sqrt[]{5}}{18} \\ \text{Divide all through by 6, and we'll have;} \\ x=\frac{5+5i\sqrt[]{5}}{3},x=\frac{5-5i\sqrt[]{5}}{3} \end{gathered}

ANSWER:

x=\frac{5+5i\sqrt[]{5}}{3},x=\frac{5-5i\sqrt[]{5}}{3}
