In a paint factory, an old conveyer line has filled 20 barrels of paint, and is filling more at a rate of 7 barrels per minute.

A worker just switched on a newer line that can fill 9 barrels per minute. In a little while, the two lines will have filled an equal number of barrels. How long will that take? How many barrels will each line have filled?

It takes 10 minutes for the two lines to have filled an equal number of barrels

Each line will have filled 90 barrels

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Let "x" be the number of minutes

<em><u>The old conveyer line has filled 20 barrels of paint, and is filling more at a rate of 7 barrels per minute</u></em>

Thus, a equation is framed as follows:

Old conveyor: 20 + 7(number of minutes)

Old conveyor: 20 + 7x ------- eqn 1

<em><u>A worker just switched on a newer line that can fill 9 barrels per minute</u></em>

Thus, a equation is framed as follows:

New conveyor: 9(number of minutes)

New conveyor: 9x -------- eqn 2

<em><u>In a little while, the two lines will have filled an equal number of barrels.</u></em>

<em><u>Thus, eqn 1 must be equal to eqn 2</u></em>

20 + 7x =9x\\\\9x - 7x = 20\\\\2x = 20\\\\x = 10

Thus it takes 10 minutes for the two lines to have filled an equal number of barrels

<em><u>How many barrels will each line have filled? </u></em>

Substitute x = 10 in any one of equations

Substitute in eqn 2

9x = 9(10) = 90

Thus each line will have filled 90 barrels

A quadralterial interior angles sum up to 360. We are given three angles and need to find the missing angle.

Let x, represent the missing angle.

60 + 55 + 105 + x = 360

220 + x = 360

x = 140

How would i anser this select all the ratios equivalent to 4:6
Natali5045456 [20]
If we try to simplify the ratio or try to multiply both by any number, we will get the equivalent ratio


Like :

\frac{4}{6}  \\


Divide ( simplify ) by 2


\frac{ \frac{4}{2} }{ \frac{6}{2} }  \\  \\  \\  =  >  \frac{2}{3}




Or multiply by any number,



\frac{4}{6}  \\  \\  \\  =  >  \frac{4 \times 2}{6 \times 2}  \\  \\ \\    =  >  \frac{8}{12}





From the example, 2 / 3 and 8 / 12 are equivalent ratios to 4 / 6
