Answer:
41 inches of wire will cost 164 cents.
Step-by-step explanation:
1st Method
Use proportions!
18/ 72 = 41/ c
Cross multiply
18 * c = 72 * 41
18c = 2952 divide both sides by 18
<em>c = 164</em>
2nd Method.
Find the rate of the costs. r = rate
18*r = 72
r = 4 cents/inch
Now that you've found the rate you can multiply it by 41 inches to find the cents the wire costs!
41 inch * r (cents/inch) inches cancels out.
41 * 4 = 164
<em>164 cents</em>
Answer:
more than 7
Step-by-step explanation:
4+3 = 7
)sorry if i was wrong(
total units of ration = 4 +7=11
so, ratio would be (4*33)/11 : (7*33)/11
12 : 21 is the answer.
Did you understand?
So first create and define your variables:
Z = amount of zebra fish
N = amount of neon tetras
Now create your equations:
2z+2.15n=31.20
z+n=15
This is your system. There are multiple methods to use but in this problem I’ll use the substitution method by simplifying the bottom equation.
2z+2.15n=31.20
z=15-n
Now I’ll plug the bottom equation into the top one.
2(15-n)+2.15n=31.20
And just solve from here.
30-2n+2.15n=31.20
0.15n=1.20
n=8
So he bout 8 neon tetras, and 15-8= 7, so he bought 7 zebra fish
7.030124314 they all just have to be less then 5
