To solve this problem you must apply the proccedure shown below:
1. You have that a <span>grapefruit is 8% heavier than an orange and an apple is 10% lighter than the orange. Therefore, let's give a value to the orange as following:
Orange=1 kg
2. Therefore, you have:
Grapefruit=1 kg+(0.08x1 kg)=1.08 kg
Apple=1 kg-(0.1x1 kg)=0.9 kg
3. Therefore, what</span><span> percentage is the grapefruit heavier than the apple?
%=(0.9/1.08)100-100
%=16.66%
The answer is:</span>16.66%
Answer:
60(a+b) means that you would have to distribute
While 60a+ 60b is already in it's simplest form
2x + a = b Subtract a from both sides
2x = b - a Divide both sides by 2
x = 
8 people pull a 16 ton truck
we can make that a proportion
8:16
which can be reduced to
1:2
that means 1 person can pull 2 tons
to pull a 60 ton truck, you would have a proportion of
x: 60 = 1:2
cross multiply and you get
60 = 2x
x = 30
yes, you're right!
Answer:
x=4.5
Step-by-step explanation:
so when y=20 and x=2, y is 10 times x so, <u>45/10=4.5</u>
