Your answer would be 12/25 tons. If you set up a proportion  2/5             X
                                                                                       --------   =   -------
                                                                                        5/6             1

Answer:

\frac{12}{25} tons.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the tons of concrete required to cover the entire wall.

We have been given that 2/5 of a ton of concrete covers 5/6 of a wall. We are asked to find the tons of concrete that are required to cover the entire wall.

We will use proportions to solve our given problem.

Since we need to cover an entire wall, so we can set an equation as:

\frac{\frac{2}{5}\text{ tons}}{\frac{5}{6}\text{ wall}}=\frac{x\text{ tons}}{1\text{ wall}}

Upon cross multiplying our equation we will get,

\frac{2}{5}\text{ tons}\cdot 1\text{ wall}=\frac{5}{6}\text{ wall}\cdot x\text{ tons}

\frac{2}{5}=\frac{5}{6}\cdot x

Multiplying both sides by 6/5 we will get,

\frac{6}{5}\cdot\frac{2}{5}=\frac{6}{5}\cdot\frac{5}{6}\cdot x

\frac{6\cdot 2}{5\cdot 5}= x

\frac{12}{25}= x

Therefore, \frac{12}{25} tons of concrete are required to cover the entire wall.

disa [49]

Answer:

The correct option is (d).

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Jeff earns $14.00 per hour.

Tom earns half as much as Jeff.

We need to find the amount earn by Tom per hour.

Tom's amount = Jeff's amount/2

So,

T=\dfrac{14}{2}\\\\T=\$7

So, Tom earn $7 per hour. Hence, division operation is used. Jeff's amount is divided by 2.
