Answer:
0.65, 0.6, 0.5, 0.5
Step-by-step explanation:
This is the concept of algebra, to calculate the proportion of wool in each item we proceed as follows;
Let the amount of wool used for hat be x
amount of wool in sweater will be 5x
the amount of wool used in scarf will be x-5
therefore the total amount of wool will be:
x+5x+(x-5)=550
x+5x+x-5=550
7x-5=550
7x=550+5
7x=555
hence;
x=555/7
x=79
the amount used in hat x=79g
amount used in sweater 5x=395g
amount used in scarf=79-5=74g
Answer:
26.25 gallons
Step-by-step explanation:
21000 = 800x
x = 26.25 gallons
Answer:
x = 17
Step-by-step explanation:
x + x + 8 = 42 because x = boys and x + 8 = girls
2x = 34 because 2x = 42 - 8
x = 17
i hope this helps! you don't need the 2x = 42 - 8 to be an equation ;)
