Three aluminum cans can be recycled to make a new can. How many new cans can eventually be made from 243 aluminum cans? (Remembe

r that the first new cans that are made can then be recycled into even newer cans!) Do not include the original 243 cans in your count.

Answer:

121 new cans can eventually be made from 243 aluminum cans

Step-by-step explanation:

Unit rate defined as the rates are expressed as a quantity 1 such as 2 miles per second or 5 kilometer per hour.

As per the statement:

Three aluminum cans can be recycled to make a new can.

Unit rate per aluminium can = \frac{1}{3} new can

We have to find the new cans can eventually be made from 243 aluminum cans.

By definition of unit rate;

\text{Number of new cans made from 243 cans} = \text{Unit rate per aluminium can} \times 243

Substitute the given values we have;

\text{Number of new cans made from 243 cans} = \frac{1}{3} \times 243 = 81

Again do the same process:

Number of new can made from 81 can  is \frac{1}{3} \cdot 81 = 27

Similarly,

Number of new cans made from 27 can = \frac{1}{3} \cdot 27 = 9

Number of new cans made from 9 can =\frac{1}{3} \cdot 9 = 3

Number of new cans made from 3 can =  \frac{1}{3} \cdot 3 = 1

Now, No further new can made.

Therefore, total new can made from 243 is 81+27+9+3+ 1 =121 cans

Step-by-step explanation:

x - 12 < 15

x < 15 + 12

x < 27

For x < 27 , i will add a number smaller than 27.

x = {26,25,24,23, etc}

In a right triangle, the measure of one acute angle is 12 more than twice the measure of the other acute angle. Find the measure
soldi70 [24.7K]

Given:

In a right triangle, the measure of one acute angle is 12 more than twice the measure of the other acute angle.

To find:

The measures of the 2 acute angles of the triangle.

Solution:

Let x be the measure of one acute angle. Then the measure of another acute is (2x+12).

According to the angle sum property, the sum of all interior angles of a triangle is 180 degrees. So,

x+(2x+12)+90=180

3x+102=180

3x=180-102

3x=78

Divide both sides by 3.

x=\dfrac{78}{3}

x=26

The measure of one acute angle is 26 degrees. So, the measure of another acute angle is:

2x+12=2(26)+12

2x+12=52+12

2x+12=64

Therefore, the measures of two acute angles are 26° and 64° respectively.

Can someone help me
barxatty [35]

Answer:

y= (-6/5)x -2

Step-by-step explanation:

y=mx+b , where m is the slope, and b is the y -intercept

the y -intercept is where the line intersects the y-axis so b = -2

the slope m= y(rise) /x(run)  = 6/-5 = -6/5 ( to find the slope you have to know how to get from any point on the line to another point on the same line; start at point (0,-2) go up 6(y-rise) and to the left 5(x-run) at point (-5,4))

y= (-6/5)x -2
