Answer:

3500 tons

Step-by-step explanation:

The Greenpoint factory produced 2/5 of the bricks that the Consolidate Brick Company produced in 1991.

Let the amount of bricks produced by the Greenpoint factory be g and the amount of bricks produced by the Consolidated brick company be c.

Therefore:

g = 2/5 * c = 2c/5

That year, the Greenpoint factory produced 1400 tons of bricks. This implies that:

1400 = 2c/5

To find the amount that the Consolidated Brick Company produced, solve for c:

1400 = 2c/5

1400 * 5 = 2c

7000 = 2c

c = 7000 / 2 = 3500 tons

The Consolidated Brick Company had a total production output of 3500 tons in 1991.

A box of cereal states that there are 81 calories in a 7-cup serving. What is the unit rate for calories
mr_godi [17]

Answer:

23.142857143 calories or 23 1/7 calories

The unit rate is calories per cup

Step-by-step explanation:

7- cup serving = 81 calories

2 cups = x calories

Cross Multiply

2 cups × 81 calories = 7 cups × x

x = 2 cups × 81 calories/7 cups

x = 23.142857143 calories or 23 1/7 calories
