Sidh will need 0.375 pound of watermelon or 3/8 in fraction form to make the fruit salad. When you divide the original 3/4 into two you get this.
The answer is 15% of $2.55=$0.3825=$0.38 off
Step by step: Take 15% and divide 15% by $2.55 This will give you the amount of money that is going to be added onto the bill. When you divide it and get your answer just add the answer to your original bill.
X+y=15
0.3x+0.6y=0.4*15=6
solve the system of equation.
Multiply equation one by 0.3: 0.3x+0.3y=4.5
subtract the new from the second equation: 0.3y=1.5
y=5
x=10
Answer:
1/5
Step-by-step explanation:
The stick has a length of 5 units
The stick is broken at two points chosen at random
First break: the probability that you get a piece that is 1 unit or longer than 1 units= 1/5.
Second break, the probability that you get a piece that is 1 unit or longer than 1 units is 1/5.
Therefore,
The total probability =probability of first break * probability of second break * original stick unit
=1/5 * 1/5 * 5
= 1/25 *5
=5/25
=1/5
Answer:
Side 1 = 8, side 2=6, side 3=3 1/3 or 10/3
Step-by-step explanation:
We can set up a proportion comparing the sides of the original triangle to the new triangle.
The original triangle has sides 12, 9, and 5. The new triangle has sides 8, e, and f (use whatever letters you like, it doesn't matter, but for me, e is the side with the middle length and f is the side with the shortest length.
We can write 3 ratios, with the length of the new triangle over the length of the old triangle.
8/12 e/9 f/5
To figure out e and f, put each ratio equal to 8/12.
<u>8 </u> = <u>e</u> Then multiply both sides of the equation by 9 and get <u>72 </u> = e, 6=e.
12 9 12
<u>8 </u> = <u>f </u> Then multiply both sides of the equation by 9 and get <u>40 </u> = f, <u>10</u>=f.
12 5 12 3
10/3 can be rewritten as 3 1/3.
