Answer:

48 cups of orange juice,  24 containers.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Jackie used 5 times as much water as concentrate to make orange juice.

There were 32 more cups of water than concentrate.

Question asked:

How much juice did she make in all ?

She poured the juice in 2 quart containers how many containers could she fill ?

Solution:

Let concentrate used in the juice = x

<u>As Jackie used 5 times as much water as concentrate:</u>

Then water  used in the juice = 5x

<u>According to question:</u>

<u>To make orange juice 32 more cups of water used than concentrate is equals to to make orange juice</u>, Jackie used 5 times as much water as concentrate, we will write this as:-

x+5x=x+x+32\\6x=2x+32\\

Subtracting both sides by 2x

4x=32\\

Dividing both sides by 4

x=8

Concentrate used in the juice = x = 8 cups

Water  used in the juice = 5x = 5\times8=40\ cups

Total quantity of juice =8 + 40 = 48 cups

Thus, she made 48 cups of orange juice for her basketball team.

Now, as she poured the juice in 2 quart containers, we have to find number of containers could be filled, we will simply divide total quantity of juice by 2 quart

Number of 2 quart containers = 48 cups \div 2 = 24 containers

Thus, she can fill 24 containers.

1920 ft^3

Step-by-step explanation:

Split it in 2.

14*8*10 and 10*10*8

14*10*8 = 1120

10*10*8 = 800

800 + 1120 = 1920

Explain why a change from 20 to 40 is a 100% increase, but a change from 40 to 20 is a 50% decrease.
Rainbow [258]

Answer:

Because 20 has to be doubled to become 40. While 40 is twice as much as 20 so you just divide 40 by 20 to get 50%.

Explanation:

20 x 20 = 40 = 100%

40 / 20 = 50%

[Right Triangles Only] Pythagorean Theorem: a² + b² = c²

  • a is a leg
  • b is another leg
  • c is the hypotenuse<u> </u>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

<em>Identify variables</em>

Leg <em>a</em> = <em>a</em>

Leg <em>b</em> = 12

Hypotenuse <em>c</em> = 20

<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>a</u></em>

  1. Substitute in variables [Pythagorean Theorem]:                                            a² + 12² = 20²
  2. Evaluate exponents:                                                                                         a² + 144 = 400
  3. [Subtraction Property of Equality] Isolate <em>a</em> term:                                           a² = 256
  4. [Equality Property] Square root both sides:                                                    a = 16
