The reason fractions need a common denominator before adding or subtracting is so that the numbers of pieces you are adding/subtracting are all the same size. Note that the numerator of a fraction just tells you how many pieces you have of that size.
For water 1 gram = 1 ml.
This means 45 grams are equal to 45 ml's.
Neither one is greater than the other one as they are equal.
The problem doesn't state what is being measured, so the answer could be different depending on the density of the product being measured.
That is to difficult for my my g
Answer:
9 cans of soup and the 4 frozen dinners were purchased
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of cans of soup purchased.
Let y represent the number of frozen dinners purchased.
Lincoln purchased a total of 13 cans of soup and frozen dinners. This means that
x + y = 13
Each can of soup has 250 mg of sodium and each frozen dinner has 550 mg of sodium. The 13 cans of soup and frozen dinners which he purchased collectively contain 4450 mg of sodium. This means that
250x + 550y = 4450 - - - - - - - - -1
Substituting x = 13 - y into equation 1, it becomes
250(13 - y) + 550y = 4450
3250 - 250y + 550y = 4450
- 250y + 550y = 4450 - 3250
300y = 1200
y = 1200/300
y = 4
Substituting y = 4 into x = 13 - y, it becomes
x = 13 - 4 = 9
Actually, the area of a triangle is a = bh/2. If a = 30 and b = 12:
So he height is 5 units
