Each train carried 64141 kg of flour and each truck carried 9163 kg of flour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the no. of kg of flour carried by each train be 'a'

Let the no. of kg of flour carried by each truck be 'b'

Total flour = 403172 kg

No. Of trains = 5

No. of trucks = 9

a = 7(b)

5a + 9b = 403172

5(7b) + 9b = 403172

35b + 9b = 403172

44b = 403172

b = 403172/44

b = 9163

Each truck carried 9163 kg of flour.

a = 7b

a = 7(9163)

a = 64141

Each train carried 64141 kg of flour.

The cost of painting a wall that is 5 meters wide and 212 meters tall is $50. How many square meters can be painted for $1?
tigry1 [53]

Answer:

21.2 square meters

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a parallelogram is base • height.

So:

1. Calculate the area of what you can get for $50. 5 • 212 = 1060 square meters.

2. Now you divide the first price ($50) by the desired price ($1). This one is easy because 50 / 1 = 50, but I'm putting this here for future reference in case you need to solve a problem that has a desired price that's greater than $1.

3. Divide the answer to step one by the answer to step two to get the area you can have painted for $1. 1060 / 50 = 21.2 square meters.

The quotient of two less than a number and five is eight
postnew [5]

Answer:

The number is 42.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the unknown number.

"two less than a number" is x - 2

Quotient means the result of a division.

(x - 2)/5 = 8

Multiply both sides by 5.

x - 2 = 40

Add 2 to both sides.

x = 42

Answer: The number is 42.

Check.

Start with 42. 2 less than 42 is 40. The quotient of 40 and 5 is 40/5 which is 8. The answer is correct.
