4.5 boxes of nails are required for finishing 2 tables

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

3.4 boxes of nails are required for finishing 1.5 tables

Required:

How much boxes of nails would he use for finishing 2 tables

Solution:

We can solve using Unitary Method:

Nails needed to finish 1.5 tables = 3.4 boxes

Nails needed to finish 1 table = $\frac{3.4}{1.5}\,\,boxes$

Nails needed to finish 2 tables = $\frac{3.4}{1.5}*2 =4.5\,\,boxes$

So, 4.5 boxes of nails are required for finishing 2 tables.

What value of y satisfies the system of equations below?<br> 2x - y = 6<br> 2x + 3y = 14

Oksana_A [137]

Answer: y=2

Step-by-step explanation:

2x+3y=14 - 2x-y=6 = 4y=8

y=2

If you need x, just insert y into the equation and work out x from there

2x-2=6

2x=8

x=4

A cone has a radius of 24 cm and a volume of 1,920 cm cubed. What is the Volume of a similar cone with a radius of 18 cm?

Maurinko [17]

24 * 3/4 = 18

The radius of smaller cone is 3/4 the radius of original cone, so since these cones are similar, height must also be 3/4 times smaller.

So since radius is squared and we also multiple the height (V = 1/3 π r² h),
the volume of smaller cone would be 3³ / 4³ = 27 / 64 times smaller

So we have 1920 * (27 / 64) = 810.

The high school took two field trips to the Newport Aquarium many many years ago. They used school buses and vans to transport a

il63 [147K]

Answer:

bus = 43

van 12

Step-by-step explanation:

This can be solved using simultaneous equations

Let v represent the number of students that a van carries

Let b represent the number of students that a bus carries

the following equations can be derived from the question

3v + 2b = 122 eqn 1

5v + 3b = 189 eqn 2

Multiply eqn 1 by 5 and eqn 2 by 3

15v + 10b = 610 eqn 3

15v + 9b = 567 eqn 4

Subtract equation 4 from 3

b = 43

Substitute for b in equation 1

3v + 2(43) = 122

solve for v

v = 12
