If you would like to know how much did the bag of grapefruit weigh, you can calculate this using the following steps:
7 1/2 pounds - 1 5/8 pounds of apples - 2 3/16 pounds of bananas = 7 1/2 - 1 5/8 - 2 3/16 = 15/2 - 13/8 - 35/16 = 120/16 - 26/16 - 35/16 = 59/16 = 3 11/16 pounds of grapefruit
The correct result would be 3 11/16 pounds of grapefruit.
Answer:
$20
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we are talking about the unknown cost of a shirt AND a sweater, we are dealing with 2 unknowns. However, we can only have one unknown in a single equation or we cannot solve it. The cost of the sweater is based on the cost of the shirt, so the shirt will be our "main" unknown.
Cost of the shirt: x
Since the sweater is $5 more than (this is addition) twice (that is 2 times) the cost of the shirt, the expression for the sweater is 2x + 5
The cost of both is (equals) 65.
x + 2x + 5 = 65 and
3x + 5 = 65 and
3x = 60 so
x = 20
The shirt cost $20 so the sweater had to cost 65 - 20 = 45
Answer:2
Step-by-step explanation:
3y+4y+6=20
7y+6=20
7y=20-6=14
Y=14/7=2
6+8+6=20
Well, <T+<S will equal 11x +2
so the equation will be 5x+10 + 58 = 11x +2
5x + 68 = 11x +2
66 = 6x (subtract 2, subtract 5x)
x = 11 (division)
To check,
<T = 5 (11) +10
<T = 65
11(11)+2 = 123
<T+<S = 123
65+58 = 123
Answer:
Evan's recipe
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
Evan's recipe :
5 cups of milk for every 4 teaspoons of chocolate syrup
Carter's recipe:
3 cups of milk for every 2 teaspoons of chocolate syrup.
Recipe with the stronger tasting chocolate milk:
Take the ratio of cups of milk to teaspoons of chocolate syrup:
Evan's :
5 / 4 = 1.25
Carter's :
3 /2 = 1.5
Evan's recipe has the stronger tasting chocolate milk recipe :
5 milk cup = 4 chocolate spoons
Number of chocolate milks for 3 milk cups = x in Evan's recipe
5 = 4
3 = x
5x = 12
x = 12/5
x = 2.4 teaspoons
This is 2.4 spoons compared Carter's recipe which uses 2 spoons for every 3 milk cups
