Solve the literal equation for the given variable.

1 answer:

7 0

If I understood your question right, he right equation would be b=2A/h

If A is on the one side of the equation, and bh/2 is on the other side, it means that our goal is to get to the point when b is alone on one side of the equation, doesn't matter which.

When working with equations like this, always remember that if X is the number that you divide by on one side, when you transfer it to the other side of the 'equal' sign it is going to switch is function and become a multiplier. So, in this case, when we transfer the number two on the other side it is going to become 2xA and we will have left 2 x a=b x h.

To get b alone, as we wanted to, we will transfer h on the other side and it will become the divider, adn we will get the solution: 2A/h=b

Hope this helps :)

You plan to put anti-theft devices on each garment in your store. You have 1,320 garments, and it takes an employee 20 seconds t

makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

3 hours 40 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told that we have 1320 garments and it takes an employee 20 seconds to tag a garment.

1 employee tags one garment in 20 seconds.

So garments tagged by 1 employees in 1 minute will be $\frac{60}{20} =3$ garments.

2 employees will tag 3*2=6 garments in 1 minute.

To find the total time it will take two employees to tag all the garments we will divide total number of garments by 6.

$\text{Time taken by two employees to tag 1320 garments}=\frac{1320}{6}$

$\text{Time taken by two employees to tag 1320 garments}=220$

Therefore, it will take 220 minutes or 3 hours and 40 minutes for 2 employees to tag 1320 garments.

saveliy_v [14]

Answer: $1 \frac{3}{16}\ lb$

Step-by-step explanation:

You know that Sara has 8 ounces of vanilla yogurt in her cup and her father’s yogurt weighs 11 ounces. Then, the total ounces of frozen yogurt they buy altogether is:

$total_{(ounces)}=8\ oz+11\ oz\\\\total_{(ounces)}=19\ oz$

The next step is to make the conversion from ounces to pounds.

You need to remember that:

$1\ lb=16\ oz$

Therefore:

$total_{(pounds)}=(19\ oz)(\frac{1\ lb}{16\ oz})=\frac{19}{16}\ lb$

This result expressed as a mixed number, is:

$total_{(pounds)}=1\frac{3}{16}\ lb$

Tanner is picking three varieties of apples at an orchard: Gala, Fuji, and Jazz. Each type of apple has a different cost per pou

Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

2g + 2f = 5.16

7g + 9f = 21.24

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

Gala = g ; Fuji = f ; jazz = j

g + f + j = 5.16 - - - (1)

j = g + f - - - (2)

From (1):

g + f + g + f = 5.16

2g + 2f = 5.16 - - - (3)

Total pound picked by Tanner = 12

3 Pounds of g ; 5 pounds of f

j = 12 - (5 +3) = 4 pounds

3g + 5f + 4j = 21.24 - - - (4)

3g + 5f + 4(g + f) = 21.24

3g + 5f + 4g + 4f = 21.24

7g + 9f = 21.24 - - - - - (5)
