Answer:

Cups of soup to be prepared = 320

Step-by-step explanation:

Using equivalent ratios

2:5 = X:800

X = (800 x 2)/5 = 320 cups

Cups of soup to be prepared = 320

Answer:

320 coups of soup

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of guests he expects is 800, and he thinks that 2 out of every 5 guests will order soup. So, to estimate how many cups of soup he should prepare, we can do a rule of three:

For every 5 guests, 2 will order soup, so for 800 guests, X soups will be ordered.

5 guests -> 2 soups

800 guests -> X soups

5/800 = 2/X

X = 800 * 2 / 5 = 320

He should prepare 320 coups of soup.

The gas tank of your car is 40% full. There are 8 gallons of gas in the tank. What is the capacity of the gas tank?
andreyandreev [35.5K]
Percentage by which the gas tank of the car is full = 40%
Amount of gas in the gas tank = 8 gallons
Let us assume the capacity of the gas tank = x gallons
Then
40% * x = 8
(40/100) * x = 8
4x/10 = 8
4x = 8 * 10
4x = 80
x = 80/4
   = 20 gallons
So the total capacity of the gas tank of the car is 20 gallons. I hope the procedure is clear to you.

Find the value of x. Please help!!!!
Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

9°

Step-by-step explanation:

In a ∆, equal sides make equal angle to the third side. So the angle that's not mentioned is same '2'.

Sum of angles in a ∆ = 180°

80° + m/_2 + m/_2 = 180°

80° + (5x + 5) + (5x + 5) = 180°

10x + 90° = 180°

10x = 90°

x = 9°

Please help! Will mark brainliest

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

t1 = a1

t2 = a1 + d

t3 = a1 + 2d

The sum is t1 + t2 + t3 = a1 + a1 + d + a1 + 2d = 3a1 + 3d

Second question

t1 = a1

t2 = a1 + d

t3 = a1 + 2d

t4 = a1 + 3d

...

tn = a1 + (n - 1)*d

Sum = (a1 + a1 + (n- 1)*d) * n / 2

Sum = (2a1 + nd - d) * n / 2

Sum = (2a1*n + n^2*d - nd) / 2
