X +(-5y)= 13
-x+ 9y =(-17)
0+<u>4y</u>=<u>-4</u>
4 4
y=1
x+-5(1)=13
x-5=13
+5 <u>+5

Four friends shared 1/2 of one carton of orange juice and 1/4 of another carton of apple juice. What fraction of each carton of

Natalka [10]

Answer:

$\dfrac{1}{16}$

$\dfrac{1}{32}$

$\dfrac{3}{32}$

Step-by-step explanation:

So in the first carton of orange juice 4 friends shared the juice.

This can be shown as:

$\dfrac{(\dfrac{1}{2})}{4}$

$\dfrac{(\dfrac{1}{2})}{4}=\dfrac{1}{16}$

The 4 friends got 1/16 of the carton each in the first carton of OJ.

Next for the second carton, it can be shown as:

$\dfrac{(\dfrac{1}{4})}{4}$

$\dfrac{(\dfrac{1}{2})}{4}=\dfrac{1}{32}$

The 4 friends got 1/32 of the carton each in the first carton of OJ.

Now to see how much they got in total each, we simply add 1/16 to 1/32

$Total OJ each = \dfrac{1}{16}+\dfrac{1}{32}$

$Total OJ each = \dfrac{3}{32}$

Each friend got a total of $\dfrac{3}{32}$ each from both cartons of OJ.

Item 19 The scale on a map is 1 cm:30 mi. The distance on the map between San Francisco, CA, and Chicago, IL, is 61.9 cm. What i

Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

1857 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that the scale on a map is 1 cm:30 mi. The distance on the map between San Francisco, CA, and Chicago, IL, is 61.9 cm. We are asked to find the actual distance between San Francisco and Chicago.

We will use proportions to solve our given problem.

$\frac{\text{Actual distance}}{\text{Map distance}}=\frac{30\text{ miles}}{1\text{ cm}}$

Upon substituting map distance between San Francisco and Chicago, we will get:

$\frac{\text{Actual distance}}{61.9\text{ cm}}=\frac{30\text{ miles}}{1\text{ cm}}$

$\frac{\text{Actual distance}}{61.9\text{ cm}}\cdot 61.9\text{ cm}=\frac{30\text{ miles}}{1\text{ cm}}\cdot 61.9\text{ cm}$

$\text{Actual distance}=30\text{ miles}\cdot 61.9$

$\text{Actual distance}=1857\text{ miles}$

Therefore, the actual distance between San Francisco and Chicago is 1857 miles.

Brian works in the lab and feels an empty cylindrical flask with 200 cubic centimeters of liquid. The flask has a radius of 3 cm

Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

volume of liquid in the flask= 200 cm^3

radius of the flask = 3 cm

height of the flask= 12 cm

volume of flask is given by =

putting values and solving we get =396 cm^3

therefore the volume unfilled= 396-200= 196cm^3

therefore % of volume unfilled= 196/396*100= 49.49%
