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

Simora [160]

Answer:

To get answer A,  Dave took 47*5 = 235

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 147 containers that contain 5 gallons each.  We need to multiply to find the total number of gallons.

total number of gallons = containers * number of gallons per container

                                       = 147* 5 gallons per container

                                        =735 gallons

To get answer A,  Dave took 47*5 = 235

Vladimir [108]

Answer:

n=3\sqrt{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

2n=1\times \left(3\sqrt{2}\right)\times \:2

2n=2 \times 3\sqrt{2}

2n=6\sqrt{2}

\frac{2n}{2}=\frac{6\sqrt{2}}{2}

n=3\sqrt{2}

Since you have to distribute both numbers, you'll end up with x^2-3x+4x-12 then simplify and it is x^2+x-12

Answer:

  9350 m²

Step-by-step explanation:

There are several ways you can go at this. Here are 3 of them:

  1. along an extension of the lower right vertical edge, divide the figure into a rectangle and a right triangle.
  2. between the upper left corner and the inside corner at lower right draw a diagonal line to divide the figure into a trapezoid and a triangle.
  3. subtract the area of the trapezoid at the right from the area of the bounding rectangle

__

The relevant formulas for area are ...

  rectangle: A = LW . . . . . . . . . . . length times width

  trapezoid: A = (1/2)(b1 +b2)h . . . b1, b2 are the bases, h is the height

  triangle: A = (1/2)bh . . . . . . . . . . . b is the base, h is the height

__

Here's what those computations look like:

1. rectangle: 60m wide by 80 m high = 4800 m².

  right triangle: base 190-60 = 130 m; height = 80-10 = 70 m.

     area = (1/2)(130 m)(70 m) = 4550 m²

  figure area = 4800 m² +4550 m² = 9350 m² . . . . area of figure

__

2. The trapezoid has bases of 80 m and 10 m, and a height of 60 m. Its area is ...

  A = (1/2)(80 m +10 m)(60 m) = 2700 m²

The triangle has a base of 190 m and a height of 80-10 = 70 m. Its area is ...

  A = (1/2)(190 m)(70 m) = 6650 m²

Then the total area is 2700 m² +6650 m² = 9350 m² . . . total area

__

3. The bounding rectangle is 190 m by 80 m, so its area is ...

  A = LW = (190 m)(80 m) = 15200 m²

The (negative) trapezoid at right has bases of 10 m and 80 m, and a width of 190-60 = 130 m. Its area is ...

  A = (1/2)(10 m +80 m)(130 m) = 5850 m²

The area of the figure is the difference between these:

  figure area = 15200 m² -5850 m² = 9350 m² . . . figure area
