Answer:

Alyssa's team won 20 games.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can introduce a variable that represents how many games Alyssa's team won.

Let x<em> </em>represent how many games Alyssa's team won.

We can now create a expression, we know that her team won 5 out of 7 games which would be equivalent to the fraction 5/7. We also know her team has played 28 games and five sevenths (5/7) of those they won.

This would give us the expression 5/7 = x/28.

We need to do this because 5/7 is equivalent to x the numbers of games they won over 28 the number of games they played.

Solving for  5/7 = x/28 we have:

5/7 = x/28  

We need to isolate x on the right side to do so we can multiply both sides by 28.

5/7 * 28 = x/28*28     simplifying

20 = x.

Therefore the number of games Alyssa's team won is 20 games.

Sergio [31]

Answer:

365 and 1/2 blocks will be used

The scale fact is 0.25

Step-by-step explanation:

So . .

  • We create a ratio 1:2

This represents 1 block is equivalent to 2 feet

  • Simply 1450 ÷ 2 = 725

So . . There are 725 feet and because One block is equal to 2 feet you divide 725 ÷ 2 =  362.5 blocks will be used

To find the scale factor simply divide the deminsions of the new shape by old

  • 362.5 ÷ 1450 = .25

Liula [17]

Answer:

The price of each CD before tax is $15.70

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Number of CDs bought by Reuben = 5

Cost of five CDs = $81.50

Sales tax on each CD = $0.60

Sales tax on 5 CDs = 0.60*5 = $3.00

Price of CDs without tax = 81.50 - 3.00 = $78.50

Price of each CD = \frac{Cost\ of\ CDs}{No.\ of\ CDs}

Price of each CD = \frac{78.50}{5}

Price of each CD = $15.70

Hence,

The price of each CD before sales tax is $15.70
