Answer:
3500 tons
Step-by-step explanation:
The Greenpoint factory produced 2/5 of the bricks that the Consolidate Brick Company produced in 1991.
Let the amount of bricks produced by the Greenpoint factory be g and the amount of bricks produced by the Consolidated brick company be c.
Therefore:
g = 2/5 * c = 2c/5
That year, the Greenpoint factory produced 1400 tons of bricks. This implies that:
1400 = 2c/5
To find the amount that the Consolidated Brick Company produced, solve for c:
1400 = 2c/5
1400 * 5 = 2c
7000 = 2c
c = 7000 / 2 = 3500 tons
The Consolidated Brick Company had a total production output of 3500 tons in 1991.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
x= length of the piece
we x, 3x,4x
x+3x+4x=24
8x=24
x=24/8=3
x=3, one side, another is 9, another is 12
The answer of 16 divided by 1312 would be 82
Answer:
the answer to the question is 32
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The reason you haven't gotten an answer to this is because in its current formatting, there is no answer. Here's what I mean:
The first equation is going to be concerning the NUMBER of memberships sold, where m is male and f is female. The total number of memberships was 10:
m + f = 10
Now for the money equation. The total amount of money made from that number of memberships was 3000, where male memberships cost $300 and so do the female memberships, giving us an equation of
300m + 300f = 3000
Go back to the first equation and solve for either m or f. I solved for m in terms of f:
m = 10 - f and sub that into the second equation for m to get:
300(10 - f) + 300f = 3000 and
3000 - 300f + 300f = 3000. Here is where you find the problem. The -300f and the 300f cancel each other out, leaving you with the fact that
3000 = 3000 which it does, but it doesn't give us any viable answer.
I would have to say that since we can't do math on this, that the most credible answer you'll find is that the same number of male and female memberships were sold because 5 male memberships cost $1500 (5 memberships at $300 a piece is $1500) and 5 female memberships also cost $1500.
1500 + 1500 = 3000
