Answer:

either x or y must equal 0​

Step-by-step explanation:

ts given that xy = 0

Remember that product of two numbers can be zero only if:

Both of them are zero or Either of them is zero as zero multiplied to any non-zero number will always be equal to zero. This is known as Zero Product Property.

So, if the product of x and y is equal to 0 there are two possibilities:

Both x and y are equal to 0

Either x or y must be equal to 0

Note that the condition both x and y are equal to zero is not a must condition, because even if one of them is equal to zero, the entire expression will be equal to zero.

Hence, the condition which has to be true in all cases for xy = 0 is:

either x or y must equal 0​

5. Priya mixes 2..5 cups of water with 1/3 cup or orange juice concentrate. Diego mixes 1 2/3 cups of water with 1/4 cup or oran
Snowcat [4.5K]

Priya needs 13⅓ cups of orange juice

Diego 15 cups

Step-by-step explanation:

......................................................................................................................

Priya

......................................................................................................................

Cup of water = 2½

Cup of orange = ⅓

If 2½ cups of water requires ½ cup of orange juice concentrate

Then 100 cups of water would require x cup of orange

Representing the above statement mathematically

2½ : ⅓ = 100 : x

5/2 : 1/3 = 100 : x ------------------Convert ratio sign to division

5/2 ÷⅓ = 100/x

5/2 * 3 = 100/x

15/2 = 100/x ---------------Multiply both sides by x

15/2 * x = 100/x * x

15x/2 = 100 ------------------ Multiply both sides by 2

2 * 15x/2 = 2 * 100

15x = 200 --------------- Divide both sides by 15

x = 200/15

x = 13⅓

So, 13⅓ cups of orange is needed by Priya

......................................................................................................................

Diego

......................................................................................................................

Cup of water = 1⅔

Cup of orange = ¼

If 1⅔ cups of water requires ¼ cup of orange juice concentrate

Then 100 cups of water would require x cup of orange

Representing the above statement mathematically

1⅔:¼ = 100:x

5/3 : ¼ = 100:x

5/3 ÷¼ = 100 ÷ x

5/3 * 4/1 = 100 ÷ x

20/3 =100/x----------------------- Multiply x to both sides

20/3 * x = 100/x * x

20x/3 = 100 ------------------------ Multiply 3 to sides by 3

3 * 20x/3 = 100 * 3

20x = 300 ------------- Divide both sides by 2

20x/20 = 300/20

x = 15

So, 15 cups of orange is needed by Diego
