Answer:
Proportion states that the two ratios or fraction are equal.
As per the given statement: For every 3 ounces of peanuts, there are 2 ounces of cashews. A batch has 60 ounces of peanuts.
Let x be the ounces of cashew will a batch have.
then by definition of proportion, we have;
By cross multiply we have;
Divide by 3 on both sides we get;
therefore, 40 ounces of cashews will a batch have for every 60 ounces of peanuts.
The correct answer is 32/x
Answer:
x = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
(x + 2)(2x - 5) = 56
2x^2 - x - 10 = 56
2x^2 - x - 66 = 0
(2x +11)(x - 6) = 0
2x +11 = 0
2x = -11
x = -5.5
Since you cannot measure length using a negative number, we cannot use this answer nor round.
x - 6 = 0
x = 6
