12 gallons of white paint

divide 20 gallons by 5 to obtain 1 part of the ratio

\frac{20}{5} = 4 gallons ← 1 part

white paint = 3 × 4 = 12 gallons ← 3 parts

He used 12 gallons of white paint.

Because 20 divided by 5 = 4. Meaning that 4 gallons is one part.

4 x 5 = 20
4 x 3 = 12

beginning at sea level a scuba diver dove 1 2/3 feet into the water , and then dove an additional 3 2/5 feet at what elevation i
skad [1K]

The given details are illustrations of addition and subtractions of fractions.  The scuba driver is at an elevation of -5\frac{1}{15} ft below the sea  level.

Given that:

n_1 = 1\frac 23 --- the first dive

n_2 = 3\frac 25 ---- the additional dive

From the question, we understand that the diver starts at the sea level.

This is represented with 0ft.

So, the diver's elevation (d) is calculated as follows:

d = 0 - n_1 - n_2 --- we use subtraction because the diver is below the sea level

So, we have:

d = 0 - 1\frac 23 - 3\frac 25

d = - 1\frac 23 - 3\frac 25

Convert fractions

d = - \frac 53 - \frac{17}5

Take LCM

d = \frac{-5 \times 5 - 17 \times 3}{15}

d = \frac{-76}{15}

Reduce fraction

d = -5\frac{1}{15}

The above value means that the diver's elevation is at -5\frac{1}{15} ft below the sea  level.

Vikki [24]

Answer:

a = 16

Step-by-step explanation:

6 = a/4 + 2

4 = a/4            Subtract 2 from both sides

16 = a                 Multiply 4 to both sides
