During a school lunch, the cafeteria sold two-fifths as many white milks as chocolate milks. If there were 35 milks sold, how ma
1 answer:
Hello!
As we can see, they sell 2/5 as many white milks and chocolate milks. We can write this as the ratio 2:5. As you can see, we are given the total, which is 35. The total of the ratio in simplest form is 7 (2+5). As you can see, we have to multiply by 5 to get that 7 to 35. Therefore we multiply each part of the ratio by 5 to get our final answer. We can have w represent the white milks while c represents the chocolate milks.

Therefore there were 25 chocolate milks sold (just to verify 10 is 2/5 of 25).
I hope this helps!

ANSWER
Find out the how long will the Yellow balloon be higher than the orange balloon.
To proof
Now the diagram is given below
As given
A yellow hot-air balloon is 100 feet off the ground and rising at rate of 8 feet per second.
i.e height of the yellow baloon off the ground = 100 feet
rising at rate = 8 feet per second.
.An orange hot-air balloon is 160 feet off the ground and rising at a rate of 5 feet per second.
i.e height of the orange baloon off the ground = 160 feet
rising at rate = 5feet per second.
Formula
Relative velocity = rising rate of yellow balloon - rising rate of orange balloon
= 8 -5
= 3 feet per second
Relative distance = height of the yellow baloon off the ground - height of the orange baloon off the ground
= 160 -100
= 60 feet
put in the formula
= 20 second
after 20 second Yellow balloon will be higher than the orange balloon.
Hence proved
