10 small boxes and 11 large boxes were shipped.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Total boxes shipped = 21

Total volume of shipped boxes = 342 cubic feet

Volume of each small box = 10 cubic feet

Volume of each large box = 22 cubic feet

Let,

Number of small boxes = x

Number of large boxes = y

According to given statement;

x+y=21     Eqn 1

10x+22y=342    Eqn 2

Multiplying Eqn 1 by 10

10(x+y=21)\\10x+10y=210\ \ \ Eqn\ 3

Subtracting Eqn 3 from Eqn 2

(10x+22y)-(10x+10y)=342-210\\10x+22y-10x-10y=132\\12y=132

Dividing both sides by 12

\frac{12y}{12}=\frac{132}{12}\\y=11

Putting y=11 in Eqn 1

x+11=21\\x=21-11\\x=10

10 small boxes and 11 large boxes were shipped.

The diagram shows the ratio of trees Maeve plants to the trees she harvests.
AnnZ [28]

Answer:

WEDNESDAY: 45 planted.

THURSDAY: 22 Harvested.

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the information given in the problem, Maeve plants 5 trees for every 2 tree she harvests. Then the ratio can be expressed as following:

5:2 or \frac{5}{2}

Then, you can complete the values in the table as you can see below:

<u>WEDNESDAY</u>

\frac{5}{2}=\frac{planted}{18}\\\\planted=\frac{18*5}{2}\\\\planted=45

<u>THURDAY</u>

\frac{5}{2}=\frac{55}{harvested}\\\\(harvested)(\frac{5}{2})=55\\\\harvested=\frac{55*2}{5}\\\\harvested=22
