Answer:
19.6
Step-by-step explanation:
The ratio of brown paint to white paint is, 5:7 or 
so if he bought 14 gallons of white paint we need to figure out:
which we can as it only has one unknown:
5x=14×7
5x=98
x=19.6
So the answer is 19.6
A decimal number between 0.25 and 0.5 is 0.35
Answer:
18 pounds of cashews are needed.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given;
A manager bought 12 pounds of peanuts for $30.
Price of peanut per pound P = $30/12 = $2.5
Price of cashew per pound C = $5
Price of mixed nut per pound M = $4
Let x represent the proportion of peanut in the mixed nut.
The proportion of cashew will then be y = (1-x), so;
xP + (1-x)C = M
Substituting the values;
x(2.5) + (1-x)5 = 4
2.5x + 5 -5x = 4
2.5x - 5x = 4 -5
-2.5x = -1
x = 1/2.5 = 0.4
Proportion of cashew is;
y = 1-x = 1-0.4 = 0.6
For 12 pounds of peanut the corresponding pounds of cashew needed is;
A = 12/x × y
A = 12/0.4 × 0.6 = 18 pounds
18 pounds of cashews are needed.
Answer:
A is true and B is false.
Step-by-step explanation:
x + 6.2 ≥ 10.9
Replace x for 4.7...
4.7 + 6.2 ≥ 10.9
10. ≥ 10.9 ( So this is true!)
x - 6.2 ≤ - 5
Replace x for 4.7...
4.7 - 6.2 ≤ -5
-1.2 is not ≤ -5 (So this is false!)
