A 12 oz bottle of shampoo last 16 weeks. How long would you expect an 18 oz bottle to last

1 answer:

3 0

If a 12 oz bottle of shampoo lasted for 16 weeks, we have a ratio of 12:16 which can be shortened to 3:4.

Now if we have 18 oz bottle we know that it's 1/2 more than 12 oz bottle, so the ratio will be also 1/2 more. So if it was 12:16, the new ratio will be:

12 + (1/2 * 12) : 16 + (1/2 * 16)
12 + 6 : 16 + 8
18 : 24

It means that 18 oz bottle should last for 24 weeks. Of course the ratio has to stay the same in its lowest form in both situations and as 18:24 can be shortened to 3:4, it proves it's correct :)

Valentin [98]

Answer:

area of a trapezoidal base of each prism with heights 6 and 8 units are 4 square units and 3 square units respectively

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us first be aware of formula of volume for any regular geometrical figure.

Fundamental formula for volume for any regular geometrical figure is.

volume = area of cross section of object* height of object (A)

In the problem stated area of cross section of object will be area of a trapezoidal base.

Given in the question is

Volume of both the trapezoidal prisms = 24 cubic units

*************************************************************************************

For prism with height 6 unit

Substituting the value of height and volume in formula for trapezoidal prisms

24 = 6 * area of a trapezoidal base

=> area of a trapezoidal base = 24/6 = 4 square units

*************************************************************************************

For prism with height 8 unit

Substituting the value of height and volume in formula for trapezoidal prisms

24 = 8 * area of a trapezoidal base

=> area of a trapezoidal base = 24/8 = 3 square units

*************************************************************************************

Therefore area of a trapezoidal base of each prism with heights 6 and 8 units are 4 square units and 3 square units respectively.

marishachu [46]

The total number of DVDs that she bough is 6

<h3>Linear equations</h3>

Linear equation are expression that has a leading degree of 1.

Let the price of each DVD be x such that if Grace bought a television for $329 and some DVDs for $5.75 each and spent a total of $363.50, ten;

329 + 5.75x = 363.5

Subtract 329 from both sides

329 + 5.75x - 329 = 363.5 - 329

5.75x = 34.5

x = 34.5/5.75

x = 6

This shows that the total number of DVDs that she bough is 6

I'm assuming that when you wrote "(7x/2-5x+3)+(2x/2+4x-6)," you actually meant "<span>(7x^2-5x+3)+(2x^2+4x-6). Correct me if I'm wrong here.
