Jane is planting a mixture of flowers. For every ounce of Marigold seeds she uses 2/5 of an ounce of lupine seeds how many ounce

dusya [7]

Answer:

$\frac{5}{2}$ ounces of marigold seeds.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that Jane uses 2/5 of an ounce of lupine seeds for every ounce of Marigold seeds. We are asked to find the ounces of Marigold seeds, which Jane will use, if she used one ounce of lupine seeds.

We will use proportions to solve our given problem.

$\frac{\text{Marigold seeds}}{\text{Lupine seeds}}=\frac{1}{\frac{2}{5}}$

Let us simplify our proportion as shown below:

$\frac{\text{Marigold seeds}}{\text{Lupine seeds}}=\frac{1\cdot 5}{2}$

$\frac{\text{Marigold seeds}}{\text{Lupine seeds}}=\frac{5}{2}$

Since Jane used 1 pounce of lupine seeds, so we will substitute this value in our proportion as:

$\frac{\text{Marigold seeds}}{1}=\frac{5}{2}$

$\text{Marigold seeds}}=\frac{5}{2}$

Therefore, Jane will use $\frac{5}{2}$ ounces of marigold seeds, if she used one ounce of lupine seeds.

I’ll give you brainliest for the first person with an answer

Answer:

1296mm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Surface Area of the Rectangular Prism to the left on top of the box:

Area of square = lw, 9mm * 9mm = 81mm, then multiply by 2 because 2 of the squares are a part of the surface, giving 162mm^2

Area of a rectangle =lw, 9mm * 9mm = 81mm, then multiply by 2 again, because 2 rectangles are a part of the surface, giving 162mm^2

So, the total surface area of the rectangular prism to the left on top, is 324mm^2

Surface Area of the Triangular Prism:

Area of a triangle: 1/2bh, and our base length would be 12, because we have to subtract 9 from 21 since the base length of the triangle isn't stated. Anyways, A = 1/2bh, so A = 1/2(12)(9) = 54mm^2, but multiply by two, so we get 108mm^2.

Area of the rectangle: lw, so 15mm * 9mm = 135mm^2

So, the total surface area of the triangular prism is 243mm^2

Surface Area of the Rectangular Prism at the bottom:

Area of the long rectangles in front = lw, 21mm * 9mm = 189mm^2, multiply by 2, 378mm^2

Area of the rectangles to the side = lw, 9mm * 9mm = 81mm^2, multiply by 2, 162mm^2

Area of the rectangle at the very bottom = lw, 21mm * 9mm = 189mm^2

So, the total surface area of the rectangular prism at the bottom is 729mm^2

Add all the total surface areas of each shape to get the total surface area of the figure:

324mm^2 + 243mm^2 + 729mm^2 = 1296mm^2

The surface area of the figure above is 1296mm^2

Whats the value of x 120° (2x – 10)°

Bess [88]

The answer is 2x-1
Step-by-step explanation:
2x-10^0
Any non zero expression raised to the power of 0 equals 1.
2x-1
So that would be your answer.
Hope that helped.
