800/100 = 8
800 is 100 times as much as 8
The equations are dependent (they're the same equation).
If you multiply the bottom one by 5, you get the top one.
Answer:
54÷9 = 6 so for the second box is 6 hot dogs per person
54÷27= 2 third box is 2 hot dogs per person
54÷54= 1 fourth box is 1 hot dog per person
3x-8 = 8x+4
subtract 3x from each side
-8 = 5x+4
subtract 4 from each side
-12 = 5x
divide -12 by 5 to get x
x = -12/5 = -2.4
<h3>
The dietitian provide 2.5 numbers of salmon steak, 1 baked egg and 2 acorn squash for the patient. </h3>
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
Number of salmon steak = x
Number of baked eggs =y
and Number of acorn squash =z
Total amount of protein that is provided to the patient =40 x +20 y+3 z
Total amount of carbohydrates that is provided to the patient = 20 x+2y +15z
Total amount of vitamin A that is provided to the patient = x+25 y+ 37z
According to the problem,
40x+20y+3z=126, 20x+2y+15z=82 and x+25y+37z= 101.5
Solving the above equations
we get x= 2.5 ,y= 1 and z=2
So , The dietitian provide 2.5 numbers of salmon steak, 1 baked egg and 2 acorn squash for the patient.
