Answer:216
Step-by-step explanation:
We let x to represent the number of other nuts
Peanut : other
5 : 3
360 : X
Then we cross multiply
5 × x = 360 × 3
5X = 1080
Divide bothside by 5
5X/5 = 1080/5
X = 216
Therefore the number of other nuts in the can is 216.
Answer:
125 meters squared
Step-by-step explanation:
Surface area of initial pyramid:
- A= 10²+4*1/2*10*15= 400 m²
Surface area of extended pyramid:
- A= 10*15+2*1/2*15*15+2*1/2*10*15= 525 m²
The difference is:
-x + 8 = x - 10
8 - x = x - 10
8 = x - 10 + x
8 = 2x - 10
8 + 10 = 2x
18 = 2x
18/2 = x
9 = x
x = 9
Answer:
x : y = 9 : 13
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that
3x - y : x + 2y = 2 : 5
Express the ratio in fractional form, that is
=
( cross- multiply )
5(3x - y) = 2(x + 2y) ← distribute parenthesis on both sides )
15x - 5y = 2x + 4y ( subtract 2x from both sides )
13x - 5y = 4y ( add 5y to both sides )
13x = 9y ( divide both sides by 13 )
x =
y ( divide both sides by y )
=
, that is
x : y = 9 : 13
