Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of cockles be c and that of winkles be w.
From the first relation,
w = 2c ..........(I)
From the second relation, 6 winkles are accidentally split.
This in equation form means the following:
c/w- 6 = 3/5
By cross multiplication,
5c = 3(w - 6)...........(ii)
We know w = 2c , let’s substitute this into the second equation.
5c = 3(2c - 6)
5c = 6c - 18
Collecting like times, c = 18
And w = 2c = 2(18) = 36
Hence, there were initially 18 cockles and 36 winkles
Answer:
250
Step-by-step explanation:
Basic wage is 40 * 6.25
Volume of a cylinder = the area of the base x height of the cylinder
Area of base =

r^2
A = 6^2(

)
A = 36

V = 36

x 12
V = 432

5 cylinders = 5V
5V = 5 x (432

)
5V = 2160

Final answer: Alex needs to buy 2160

or 6785.84 cubic feet worth of compressed air to fill all of the cylindrical tanks.
5 is the slope and 3 is the y-intercept
