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

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.

what is the answer to the multiplication problem. Jhon has 20 fish if he lets 6 fish go how many fish dose Jhon have?
spayn [35]
Isn't this a subtraction problem, not a multiplication problem?

If John starts out with 20 fish and lets 6 go, he still has (20-6), or 14, fish.

Heights​ (cm) and weights​ (kg) are measured for 100 randomly selected adult​ males, and range from heights of 138 to 190 cm and
mart [117]

Answer:

Best predicted value of y' = 86.16 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

n = 100

Range of heights = 138 - 190cm

Range of weight = 39 to 150 kg

x' =167.46 cm

y' = 81.44 kg

r = 0.108

p value = 0.285

y = - 105 + 1.08x

Significance level = 0.05

We reject H0 since pvalue, 0.285 is less than significance level of 0.05.

Therefore,

Given height of adult male, x = 177 cm

y = - 105 + 1.08x

The best predicted value of y' =

y' = - 105 + 1.08(177)

y' = 86.16 kg

The best predicted value of y' is 86.16kg
