the question in English
Juan has blue cubes with a 55 mm edge and red cubes with a 45 mm edge. He stacks them in two columns, one of each color; he wants the two columns to be the same height. How many cubes does he need, as a minimum, of each color?
Let
x---------> the number of blue cubes
y--------> the number of red cubes
we know that
Juan wants that the two columns to be the same height
so
solve for y
I proceed to calculate a table, assuming values of x to calculate the value of y. When the values of x and y are whole numbers, I will have found the solution.
the table in the attached figure
therefore
<u>the answer is</u>
9 blue cubes
11 red cubes
Answer:
(a) boxes of cat food had been sold.
(b) boxes of cat food had been sold.
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question,
Polly stacked the tins from five boxes of cat food onto an empty shelf and there were 15 tins of cat food in each box. That is,
5 × 15 tins of cat food were stacked onto the empty shelf.
5 × 15 = 75
Hence, 75 tins of cat food were stacked onto the empty shelf.
Also, from the question,
At the end of the week there were 20 tins left on the shelf and the rest of the tins had been sold, that is
75 - 20 tins had been sold
75 - 20 = 55
Hence, 55 tins of cat food had been sold.
To determine the number of boxes of cat food that had been sold,
Since there are 15 tins of cat food per box, then
we will divide 55 tins of cat food that had been sold by 15 tins of cat food per box
55 ÷ 15 =
Hence, boxes of cat food had been sold
(a) As a mixed number
Hence, boxes of cat food had been sold.
(b) As an improper fraction
Hence, boxes of cat food had been sold.
