Answer:

Hey!

Your answer is $118.75!

Step-by-step explanation: How did I get this?

STEP 1: So we know that for a ton of rock costs us $47.50...

To get 2 tons all we have to do is to MULTIPLY $47.50 by 2...

(47.50 x 2 = 95)

STEP 2: So for $95, you will get 2 tons of rock!

Now to get the .5 tons of rock in price form, we have to get the price of the whole 2.5 tons and DIVIDE BY 2

(47.50 ÷ 2 = 23.75)

STEP 3: So now we have the costs for 2 tons and the price for HALF a ton.

What we do now is easy...we ADD THE VALUES TOGTHER!

(95 + 23.75 = $118.75)

The result of $118.75 after adding them together is the PRICE OF 2 TONS!

I HOPE THIS HELPED YOU!

Answer:

7.3

Step-by-step explanation:

The two triangles are similar, meaning that they have the same angles but the triangles are in different sizes. To solve this, use proportions:

$\frac{3}{5} =\frac{4.5}{x}$

Cross multiply:

$3x=22.5\\x=7.3$

28 children will attend the birthday party if each child gets 2 party favors and there are 14 favors in each box how many boxes

dezoksy [38]

Hello!

So if each box has 14 favors, what we need to do is add until we have enough, or more than enough for each of the children that will be at the party to get two of them.

So to start, 14+14=28. There are 28 children going, but each child must have two favors, not one. So, we simply add on two more boxes. 28+14=42, 42+14=56. So, we need 56 favors for each child to get two.

You could multiply to make this problem faster, but adding works out easier in my head. Sorry to drag it out!

So to make it simple, you need four boxes of favors for each child to get two.

Hope this helps, have an awesome day!

The system of equations:2 y = - x - 12 y = x + 5---------------------- x - 1 = x + 5- 2 x = 5 + 1- 2 x = 6x = - 6 : 2x = - 32 y = - 3 + 52 y = 2y = 1The solution is ( - 3 , 1 ).Answer: The x-coordinate of the solution to the system is: x = - 3.
