Try plugging in 4,6, and -7 into the x's
Answer:$43.29
Step-by-step explanation:
<span>The proportion of clay uses is 3/8 (Three Eighths). That is 3 lbs. of clay to every 8 vases. This is determined by the first given proportion 3 lbs./8 vases and confirmed by the second. To prove that is the case you divide the second ration by the first numerator:
9 divided by 3 = 3 and 24 divided by 3 = 8. So the proportion for 9/24 is still 3/8. This can also be used to increase the number of vases made. For example if 40 vases need to be made:
we divide 40 by the numerator 8 = 5. So we need 5 portions of 3 to make 40 vases. 5 times 3 = 15. So the 15 lbs. of clay is needed for 40 vases.</span>
Answer:
8
Step-by-step explanation:
The numbers are 6 and 2x, then:
- 1/6 + 1/(2x) = 7/24
- 1/3 + 1/x = 7/12
- (x+3)/(3x) = 7/12
- 12(x+3) = 7*3x
- 12x + 36 = 21x
- 21x - 12x = 36
- 9x = 36
- x = 4
The other number is 2*4 = 8
Answer:
40
Step-by-step explanation:
200 divided by 5 is 40, and 40 times 1 is 40.
