Answer: the quantity is 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the quantity.

A quantity and its 2/3 are added together. The 2/3 of the number is 2/3 × x = 2x/3

The sum of the quantity and its 2/3 would be

x + 2x/3 = (3x + 2x)/3 = 5x/3

From the sum, 1/3 of the sum is subtracted. 1/3 of the sum would be

1/3 × 5x/3 = 5x/9

Subtracting 1/3 of the sum from the sum, it becomes

5x/3 - 5x/9 = (15x - 5x)/9 = 10x/9

If the remainder is 10, it means that

10x/9 = 10

Crossmultiplying

10x = 9 × 10 = 90

x = 90/10

x = 9

Answer:

$14\frac{1}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's write this out as an equation. Let the unknown quantity be x:

$x+\frac{2}{3} - \frac{1}{3} (x+\frac{2}{3}) = 10\\\\3x+2-x -\frac{2}{3} = 30\\\\9x+6-3x-2=90\\\\6x= 86\\\\x = \frac{86}{6} =\frac{43}{3} =14\frac{1}{3} \\$

The parallelogram below is being covered with carpet. The carpet is priced at $2.80 per square meter. How much will it cost to c

cestrela7 [59]

Answer:

It will cost $79.38 to carpet the shape

Explanation:

Find the diagram of the parallelogram attached

Area of a parallelogram = Base * Height

Given

Base = 8.1m

Height = 3.5m

Area of the parallelogram = 8.1*3.5

Area of a parallelogram = 28.35m²

Since 1m² = $2.80

28.35m² = x

Cross multiply

x = 28.35 * 2.80

Hence it will cost $79.38 to carpet the shape

When lava is expelled from a volcano, it temperature may vary from 700 degrees Celsius to 1200 degrees Celsius. Write an absolut

ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

Ix - 950°C I ≤ 250°C

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told that the temperature may vary from 700 degrees Celsius to 1200 degrees Celsius.

And that this temperature is x.

This means that the minimum value of x is 700°C while maximum of x is 1200 °C

Let's find the average of the two temperature limits given:

x_avg = (700 + 1200)/2 =

x_avg = 1900/2

x_avg = 950 °C

Now let's find the distance between the average and either maximum or minimum.

d_avg = (1200 - 700)/2

d_avg = 500/2

d_avg = 250°C.

Now absolute value equation will be in the form of;

Ix - x_avgI ≤ d_avg

Thus;

Ix - 950°C I ≤ 250°C

Sophia manages a landfill. She decides to measure the rate at which trash increases in volume to fill the landfill as the number

goblinko [34]

Answer:

$\frac{m^3}{h}, \frac{cm^3}{h}, \frac{km^3}{h}$

Step-by-step explanation:

If you look at the objects thrown as garbage, it's a two- or three-dimensional item that takes up space and also has mass and this is a solid waste.

And the landfill that dumps such garbage is also three-dimensional.

Hence, the volume module, if the object inside is a solid, either would be

$m^3,cm^4,Km^3$

As household numbers rise, landfill space increases.

So,

$household\ number = Proportionality\times landfill\ space$

If H represents the number of household keeps, then it will be a sufficient unit for the purpose of Sophia that is

$\frac{m^3}{h}, \frac{cm^3}{h}, \frac{km^3}{h}$
