Answer:
The number of butterflies he collects = 176
The number of moth he collects = 44
Step-by-step explanation:
This question has to do with ratio.
We are told in the question that:He collects 4 butterflies for every moth.
Hence, the ratio of
Butterflies : Moth
4 : 1
Sum of the proportion = 4 + 1 = 5
We are also told he has a total of 220 butterflies and moths.
Hence:
The number of butterflies he collects is calculated as
4/5 × 220 = 176 butterflies
The number of moth that he collects =
1/5 × 220 = 44 moth
Answer: y = 1.3x + 1.8
Step-by-step explanation: I used Desmos
6/5y-10=-4
move -10 to the other side
sign changes from -10 to 10
6/5y-10+10= -4+10
6/5y= 6
Mutiply by 5/6 for both sides
6/5(5/6)y=6(5/6)
Cross out 6/5 and 5/6 , divide by 5 and 6 then becomes y
Cross out 5 and 6 on the right side
x= 5
Answer : x= 5
Answer: <u>4 pounds</u> of brand X sugar
====================================================
Reason:
n = number of pounds of brand X sugar
5n = cost of buying those n pounds, at $5 per pound
Brand Y costs $2 per pound, and you buy 8 lbs of it, so that's another 2*8 = 16 dollars.
5n+16 = total cost of brand X and brand Y combined
n+8 = total amount of sugar bought, in pounds
3(n+8) = total cost because we buy n+8 pounds at $3 per pound
The 5n+16 and 3(n+8) represent the same total cost.
Set them equal to each other. Solve for n.
5n+16 = 3(n+8)
5n+16 = 3n+24
5n-3n = 24-16
2n = 8
n = 8/2
n = 4 pounds of brand X sugar are needed
-------------
Check:
n = 4
5n = 5*4 = 20 dollars spent on brand X alone
16 dollars spent on brand Y mentioned earlier
20+16 = 36 dollars spent total
n+8 = 4+8 = 12 pounds of both types of sugar brands combined
3*12 = 36 dollars spent on both types of sugar brands
The answer is confirmed.
--------------
Another way to verify:
5n+16 = 3(n+8)
5*4+16 = 3(4+8)
20+16 = 3(12)
36 = 36
