Answer:

The answer is: A. 22.5 lbs or 22 and a half lbs of mashed potatoes. B. 33 1/3 lbs of potatoes.

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of potatoes is 1.5.

10 lbs potatoes * 1.5 = 15 lbs mashed

So 15 lbs potatoes * 1.5 is: 22.5 lbs mashed potatoes.

Divide 50 lbs mashed potatoes by 1.5 to find how many potatoes are needed:

50/1.5 = 33 1/3 lbs of potatoes.

Simplify the expression 5^3 x 5^-5
kotykmax [81]

Answer:

\frac{1}{5^2} --- 1 over 5 squared

Step-by-step explanation:

When multiplying terms with a common base, you just add the exponents:

x^a\times x^b=x^{a+ b}

That's true even when you don't have any exponents.

5\times5=5^1\times5^1=5^{1+1}=5^2=25

\rightarrow5^3\times5^{-5}\\\rightarrow5^{3-5}\\\rightarrow5^{-2}

A negative exponent isn't fully simplified, so there's another rule to use:

x^{-y}=\frac{1}{x^y}

That is '1 over x to the y' if it's too small to read.

\rightarrow5^{-2}=\frac{1}{5^2}

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

90 degree angle = right angle, that's what it is. you know there's 60 degree, so the other one is 90 - 60 = 30. since it's 3 times x, it's 10.

A classroom has a length of 30 ft. and a width of 20 ft. The flooring is to be replaced by tiles. If each tile has a length of 3
Mashcka [7]

Answer:

100

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello! to calculate the number of tiles needed for the floor you need two things

1. number of tiles that fit across the width, this is achieved by dividing the total width by the width of each tile

Width=20ft=240in

N1=\frac{240}{24} =10

2.number of tiles that fit in the logitude, this is achieved by dividing the total length by the length of each tile.

leght=30ft=360in

N2=\frac{360}{36} =10

Finally, you multiply the number of tiles that fit in width by the number of tiles that fit in length.

N=10X10=100
