Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{8}{12}=\frac{6}{a}

\frac{2}{3}=\frac{6}{a}

2a=6\cdot{3}

2a=18

a=\frac{18}{2}

a=9

Answer:

a = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

So in this case you just cross multiply

8 : 12 = 6 :  a

6(12) = 8(a)

72 = 8a

Divide both sides by 8

a = 9

The amount of pounds of vegetable needed in fractions to make the stew exactly 10 pounds is 3 3  / 8 pounds

<h3>How to solve fractions?</h3>

The amount of pounds of vegetable needed to make the stew exactly 10 pounds can be calculated as follows:

potatoes weight = 2 7 / 8 pounds = 23 / 8 pounds

green beans weight = 1 1 / 4 = 5 / 4 pounds

pepper weight = 2 1 / 2 = 5 / 2 pounds

Therefore,

weight needed = 10 - 23 / 8 - 5 / 4 - 5 / 2

weight needed = 80 - 23 - 10 - 20 / 8

weight needed = 80 - 53 / 8

weight needed = 27 / 8

weight needed in fractions to make the stew exactly 10 pounds = 3 3  / 8 pounds

Answer:

PQ = 3.58, and RQ = 10.4

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the hypotenuse of the triangle, and an angle. Use sin and cos to solve.  

Hypotenuse = 11,

Opposite side is PQ

Adjacent side is RQ

x = 19

Sin x  = (opposite side)/(hypotenuse)

Cos x = (adjacent side)/(hypotenuse)

For PQ, this is the side opposite to the angle, so use sin,

Sin 19 = x/11

   11(Sin 19) = x

        3.58 = x        (rounded to the nearest hundredth)            

For RQ, this is the side adjacent to the angle, so use cos,

Cos 19 = x/11

   11(Cos 19) = x

        10.4 = x        (rounded to the nearest hundredth)

Answer: Picking the first option and constantly adding on and on you will eventually make way more than what the second option proposes, therefore picking the first option is the obvious choice.

Step-by-step explanation:

Well let’s see it starts off slow for instance 1, 2, 4, 8, 16 and so on adding that on for a month will eventually leave you with more.
