Answer: 
Step-by-step explanation:
Let be "x" the height inches (in the model) of a 84 foot building.
According to the information provided in the exercise, we know that the height of a two-story building is 21 feet and in the scale model its height is 3 inches.
Knowing this, we can set up the following proportion:
The final step is to solve for "x" in order to calculate its value. We get that this is:
Therefore, an 84 foot building will be 12 inches tall in the model.
All percentages can be expressed as fractions or decimals. To find a percentage of a number, we multiply the percentage with the number. In this case:
3/100 * 16/1 = 48/100 = 0.48
Or:
0.03 * 16 = 0.48
Her new hourly wage would be $16.48
First you plug in for x,
2(y-3)+y=12
Then you solve for y
2y-5+y=12
-10y+y=12
-9y=12
-9y/9=12/-9
y=-1.333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333
Let there be x quarts of the 20% salt solution, and (25 - x) quarts of the 80% salt solution.
Then the total amount of salt in the 20% portion would be 0.2x, while that from the 80% portion would be (0.8)(25 - x). This would have to total up to (0.44)(25) in the final solution, so the equation is:
0.2x + 0.8(25 - x) = (0.44)(25)
-0.6x + 20 = 11
x = 15 quarts of the 20% salt solution
25 - x = 10 quarts of the 80% salt solution
Answer:
x > 1
Step-by-step explanation:
15 - 1 = 14
The inequality is 15 - 1 < 14, but this is incorrect. 14 can not be less than 14. In order for the left side to be less than 14, the x value (currently representing 1) should be larger than what it currently is to make the statement true.
Therefore, x>1
