Answer:

The salt is in the water be 3 lb.

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula

Percentage = \frac{Part\ value\times 100}{Total\ value}

As given

Twenty pounds of a salt-water solution contains fifteen percent salt.

Let us assume that the salt is in the water be x.

Percentage = 15%

Total value = 20 pounds

Put in the formula

15= \frac{x\times 100}{20}

x = \frac{15\times 20}{100}

x = \frac{300}{100}

x = 3 pounds

or

x = 3 lb

Therefore the salt is in the water be 3 lb.

Find the common difference of the following sequence.​
Darya [45]

You have the correct answer. It is choice B) -1/4

=======================================================

Explanation:

This is because we're adding -1/4 to each term to get the next one. In other words, we're subtracting 1/4 from each term to get the next one.

  • term2 = term1+(d) = 1/2 + (-1/4) = 1/2 - 1/4 = 2/4 - 1/4 = 1/4
  • term3 = term2+(d) = 1/4 + (-1/4) = 1/4 - 1/4 = 0
  • term4 = term3+(d) = 0 + (-1/4) = 0 - 1/4 = -1/4
  • term5 = term4+(d) = -1/4 + (-1/4) = -2/4 = -1/2

and so on.

----------

To find the common difference, all we have to do is subtract any term from its previous one.

For example:

d = (term2) - (term1)

d = (1/4) - (1/2)

d = (1/4) - (2/4)

d = (1-2)/4

d = -1/4

The order of subtraction matters, so we cannot say d = term1-term2.

Find the missing section. Answers must be in fraction form.
frozen [14]

Answer:

\frac{1}{10}

Step-by-step explanation:

We have a circle that is split in three sections, two of which we know and we are asked to find the third missing section.

For the circle, we know that 4/5 and 1/10 is fit. Now we need the last one, to solve, we need to get the same denominator and see how much is missing.

Since 1/10 is our highest denominator, let's change 4/5 to have 10 as a denominator. Which would be through multiplying 5 to get 10.

What times 5 equals 10?

2

Now multiply both numerator and denominator by 2 to get our portion.

\frac{4*2}{5*2}

\frac{8}{10}

Now we have the same denominator, let's add our two fractions and see how much we have left.

8/10 + 1/10

9/10

We have 1/10 missing, therefore 1/10 is the answer.

A snack tray at a party has cheese squares with 2 grams of protein apiece and turkey slices with 3 grams of protein apiece. Whic
Andreyy89

Answer:

The inequality equation is 12 ≤ 2x + 3y

Step-by-step explanation:

Protein in a cheese square = 2 grams

Protein in a turkey square = 3 grams

And She can eat 12 or more grams of proteins

Let x be the number of cheese squares and y be the number of turkey squares that she eats.

So, we can write an inequality equation, that describes the given situation in the problem.

i.e. 2x + 3y ≥ 12  or 12 ≤ 2x + 3y

So the inequality equation is 12 ≤ 2x + 3y
