Answer:
5 meters
Step-by-step explanation:
We should derive an equation to solve this problem.
Let's assign x to width and y to length.
and
so
Width = 5 meters
Answer:
A. a = $3, p = $6
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the cost of a bucket of apple=a
Let the cost of a bucket of peaches=p
6 buckets of apples and 4 buckets of peaches costs $42.
8 buckets of apples and 2 buckets of peaches costs $36.
- 8a+2p=36 (Multiply by 2 to make the coefficient of p 4)
We solve the two resulting equations simultaneously
6a+4p=42
16a+4p=72
Subtract
-10a=-30
Divide both sides by -10
a=$3
Next, we substitute a=$3 in any of the equation to solve for p
6a+4p=42
6(3)+4p=42
4p=42-6(3)
4p=42-18
4p=24
Divide both sides by 4
p=$6
Therefore, a bucket of apple costs $3 and a bucket of peaches costs $6.
1 1/2 = 3/2
5 5/6 = 35/6
3/2 : 35/6
9/6 : 35/6
9 : 35
The answer is 9:35
Hope this helps.
