X - the number

The expression:
$x+25=4x-59$

The solution:
$x+25=4x-59 \\
x-4x=-59-25 \\
-3x=-84 \\
x=\frac{-84}{-3} \\
x=28$

The number is 28.

During a basketball practice, Mai attempted 49 free throws and was on 25% of them. How many successful free throws did she make?

Brrunno [24]

Mai made 12 successful free throws.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Free throws made by Mai = 49 free throw

Successful throws = 25%

Number of successful throws = 25% of free throws

Number of successful throws = $\frac{25}{100}*49$

Number of successful throws = $\frac{1225}{100} = 12.25$

Rounding off to nearest whole number;

Number of successful throws = 12

Mai made 12 successful free throws.

Henry is mixing concrete. To make concrete he needs to mix cement, sand and gravel in the ratio 1 : 4 : 7 by weight. Henry needs

jolli1 [7]

Answer:

Henry is short of gravel

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we are to identify which of the ingredients Henry is short of.

To identify this ingredient, what is needed to be done is to share the 180kg of concrete appropriately to get which of the material does not meet its ratio and thus allowing us know which is insufficient.

The total ratio is 1 + 4 + 7 = 12

For cement, we have ;

1/12 * 180 = 15 kg

For sand, we have

4/12 * 180 = 60kg

For gravel, we have

7/12 * 180 = 105 kg

From the values in the question, we can see that all the values we have are greater what is shared in the ratio except in the case of gravel. So we can confidently say he is short of gravel
