First take note he only has $20 and the bag he must buy is $12.55. Also the loose seeds are $1.49 per pound.

To solve subtract 12.55 from 20

20-12.55=7.45

So after buying the 10 lb bag he has $7.45 left now divide that by 1.49

7.45/1.49=5

So after buying the 10 lb bag he can also buy 5 lb of the loose seeds!

Suppose y varies jointly as x and z. Find y when x=-9 and z=23, if y=117 when x=-3 and z=-11. Round your answer to the nearest h

Andrew [12]

Answer:

The value of y given the values of x and z in the question is -734.85

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a joint variation question.

First, we are made to know that y varies jointly as x and z.

The equation for this can be written as;

y = k * x * z

Where k is the constant of proportionality.

Let’s calculate k first.

117 = k * (-3) * (-11)

33k = 117

K = 117/33 = 3.55

Now, we proceed to get what y is when x = -9 and z = 23

Let’s plug these values into the initial equation written.

y = k * x * z

We use the value of k calculated above;

y = 3.55 * (-9) * (23) = -734.85

How to reduce into simpler terms.?

Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

The simplest form of the fraction $\frac{45}{100}$ is $\frac{9}{20}$ .

i.e.

$\frac{45}{100}=\frac{9}{20}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Here are some simple observations regarding how to reduce a fraction into simpler terms:

A fraction is reduced to lowest or simplest terms by finding an equivalent fraction in which the numerator and denominator are as small as possible.

In order to reduce a fraction to lowest or simplest terms, divide the numerator and denominator by their (GCF). Note that (GCF) is also called Greatest Common Factor .

So, lets take a sample fraction and reduce into simpler terms.

Considering the fraction

$\frac{45}{100}$

$\mathrm{Find\:a\:common\:factor\:of\:}45\mathrm{\:and\:}100\mathrm{\:in\:order\:to\:cancel\:it\:out}$

$\mathrm{Greatest\:Common\:Divisor\:of\:}45,\:100:\quad 5$

$\mathrm{Factor\:out\:}5\mathrm{\:from\:the\:numerator\:and\:the\:denominator}$

$45=5\cdot \:9\mathrm{,\:\quad }100=5\cdot \:20$

$\frac{45}{100}=\frac{5\cdot \:\:9}{5\cdot \:\:20}$

$\mathrm{Cancel\:the\:common\:factor:}\:5$

$=\frac{9}{20}$

Therefore, the simplest form of the fraction $\frac{45}{100}$ is $\frac{9}{20}$ .

i.e.

$\frac{45}{100}=\frac{9}{20}$
