Answer:

see the explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ---> kilograms of cement needed

y ----> kilograms of sand needed

z ----> kilograms of gravel needed

we know that

x:y:z=1:3:4 ----> x+y+z=1+3+4=8

x+y+z=480\ kg

Divide 480 by 8

480/8=60 ----> scale factor

Multiply the scale factor by the ratio 1:3:4

<em>Find out the kilograms of cement needed</em>

60(1)=60\ kg

<em>Find out the kilograms of sand needed</em>

60(3)=180\ kg

<em>Find out the kilograms of gravel needed</em>

60(4)=240\ kg

A preschool teacher has 17.5 feet of yarn for her students to make necklaces to raise money for a local animal shelter each neck
Scorpion4ik [409]
17.5x12=210
210 divided by 14=15
15x2.50=37.5
37.5
17.5 is feet so you need to divide by 12 for inches which gets 210 and you need each necklace to be 14 inches so you need to divide 210 by 14 which is 15 each necklace costs 2.50 so you multiply 2.50x15
You get 37.5

dsp73
Okay. so, to find the answer for this, you should set the equation as 10.25x = 8,425. "x" equals the number of hours. What you should do is divide each side by 10.25 to isolate the "x". When you do that 8,425/10.25, you get 821.951 and other numbers or 822 hours when rounded to the nearest whole number. x is approximately 822. You would have to work about 822 hours to earn $8,425.
