Answer:

The amount of yellow paint needed to prepare 5 gallons of green paints is \frac{3}{2}  gallon .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The ratio of yellow paint to blue paint = 3 : 7

The total measure of green paint prepare with blue and yellow paint = 5 gallons

So, Let The amount of yellow paint = 3 x

And The amount of blue paint = 7 x

According to question :

The amount of yellow paint + The amount of blue paint = The total measure of green paint

Or, 3 x + 7 x = 5 gallons

Or, 10 x = 5 gallons

∴    x = \frac{5}{10} = \frac{1}{2}

so , The amount of yellow paint = 3 ×  \frac{1}{2} =  \frac{3}{2}  gallon

And The amount of blue paint = 7 ×  \frac{1}{2} =  \frac{7}{2} gallon

Hence The amount of yellow paint needed to prepare 5 gallons of green paints is \frac{3}{2}  gallon . Answer

1-3x=8x+3 solve the equation
LenaWriter [7]

First, subtract both sides by 8x and you would get:

1 - 11x = 3

Then, subtract both sides by 1 and you will get:

-11x = 2

Divide both sides by -11:

x = -2/11

Divers in a competition are scored by an international panel of judges. The highest and the lowest scores are dropped. The total
Fudgin [204]

From the statements given in the problem, we can say that:

 

Final Score = (total of the remaining scores) * degree of difficulty * 0.6

 

Therefore:

97.2 = (total of the remaining scores) * 4.0 * 0.6

total of the remaining scores = 40.5

 

Therefore the judges could have scored which has a total of 40.5

Diana has been saving nickels and dimes. She opened up her piggy bank and determined that it contained 48 coins worth $4.50. Det
tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

6 Nickels

42 Dimes

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 48 coins in total (nickels and dimes). Let the number of nickels be "n" and the number of dimes be "d". So we can write:

n + d = 48

or

n = 48 - d

In dollars, we know nickels are worth 0.05 and dimes are worth 0.10. In total there is $4.50, so we can write:

0.05n + 0.10d = 4.50

Now replacing first equation [n = 48 - d] into 2nd, we get and equation in "d" and solve for d first:

0.05n + 0.10d = 4.50\\0.05(48-d) + 0.10d = 4.50\\2.4-0.05d+0.10d=4.50\\0.05d=4.50-2.4\\0.05d=2.1\\d=\frac{2.1}{0.05}=42

So, there are 42 dimes.

We know from before, n = 48 - d, so

n = 48 - 42 = 6

There are 6 nickels
