3 Fred is making a fruit salad. The ratio
1 answer:
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:
Which can also be written as a fraction:
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:
Now you must solve for "x" in order to find its value. This is:

a) 20.9
The mean is calculated by adding up the scores and dividing the total by the number of scores, it is also called the average.
First, we can count and see there are 11 players (makes sense for a football team). Adding up the ages gives us 19 + 19 + 20 + 20 + 20 + 21 + 22 + 22 + 22 + 22 + 23 = 230. Divide by 11 and we get a mean of of about 20.9!
b) 30
To figure this out, we will set up an equation that looks like this:
And now we will solve:
[multiply both sides by 12] 230 + x = 264
[subtract 130 from both sides] x = 30
So the age of the new player should be 30!
Have a nice day!

Answer:
The ratio of their volumes is 27/64
Step-by-step explanation:
step 1
Find the scale factor
we know that
If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its corresponding sides is proportional and this ratio is called the scale factor
In this problem
The scale factor is 3/4
step 2
Find the ratio of their volumes
we know that
If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its volumes is equal to the scale factor elevated to the cube
so
