Mathematics
1 answer:
marusya05 [52]3 years ago

Answer: 24 cups.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let be "x" the amount of cups of peaches  that Fred will need to make 60 cups of  fruit salad.

According to the information given in the exercise, you know that the ratio of cups of peaches to cups of cherries is the one shown below:

2:3

Which can also be written as a fraction:

\frac{2}{3}

Then, if he uses 2 cups of peaches and 3 cups of cherries, he will get 5 cups of fruit salad.

Knowing the above, you can set up the following proportion:

\frac{2}{5}=\frac{x}{60}

Now you must solve for "x" in order to find its value. This is:

(60)(\frac{2}{5})=x\\\\x=24

x²-2x-3=77

x²-2x-3-77=0

x²-2x-80=0

(x-10)*(x+8)=0

x-10 = 0

x=10

x+8=0

True or false: 4/8 and 10/16 are equivalent fractions?
lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply 8 by 2 to create the common denominator (which is 16).

Now multiply 4 by 2 to keep the fraction even.

This gives you the fraction 8/16 which is not equivalent to 10/16.

Another way you could write this inequality:

8/16 < 10/16

{2x + 3y = 5}{ y= 5 x -4}
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Solve the system using substitutions:

\begin{gathered} 2x+3y=5 \\ 2x+3(5x-4)=5 \\ 2x+15x-12=5 \\ 17x=5+12 \\ 17x=17 \\ x=\frac{17}{17} \\ x=1 \end{gathered}

x has a value of 1. Use this value to find the value of y.

\begin{gathered} y=5x-4 \\ y=5\cdot1-4 \\ y=5-4 \\ y=1 \end{gathered}

y has a value of 1.

x=1

y=1
