Answer:
Sam initially made 45 bread rolls
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x = total number of bread rolls made by Sam. He gives 2/5 of the bread to his neighbor. This means he gave 2/5 × x =
2x/5 bread rolls to his neighbor.
The remainder would be x - 2x/5 =3x/5
He gave 4/9 of the remainder to his cousin = 4/9 ×3x/5=12x/45
=4x/15
He has 15 bread rolls left
Total number of bread rolls = what he has left + what he gave his cousin + what he gave his neighbor
x = 15 + 4x/15 + 2x/5
Taking LCM of 15 and cross multiplying
15x= 225+4x + 6x
15x = 225 +10x
15x-10x = 225
5x = 225
x = 225/5 =45
Sam initially made 45 bread rolls
Answer:
3/8
Step-by-step explanation:
The question requires that we find the amount of 3/4 cup servings in 1/2 cup of milk
= 3/4 × 1/2
= 3/8
Hence the amount of cup servings is 3/8
Answer:
156° and 24°
Step-by-step explanation:
Let it's supplementary angle be x.
So, the angle = (x - 132)°
As we know, sum of supplementary angles is 180°;
x + x - 132 = 180
2x = 180 + 132
2x = 312
x = 312/2
x = 156°
(x-132)° = (156-132)° = 24°
Hence, the angles are 156° and 24°.
Answer:
x = 33
y = 41
Step-by-step explanation:
GIven
x: number of nickels
y: number of quarters
A nickel = $0.05
A quarter = $0.25
then we have the system of equations
0.05*x + 0.25*y = 11.90
x + y = 74
Which can be solved applying any of known methods. Then, the solution is
x = 33
y = 41
hope this was helpful.
