You can peel 48 potatoes in 10 minutes. How long will it take you to peel 100 potatoes?

Mathematics
1 answer:
dybincka [34]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

About 20.8 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

TO solve this just think of it as a ratio. The number of potatoes goes on top and the time goes on bottom.

48

__

10

That is what the first one would look like. In the second one we know the number of potatoes but we are trying to find the time (x).

100

___

 x

Take these two ratios and set them equal to each other.

\frac{48}{10} =\frac{100}{x}      Next you cross multiply (take 48 times x and 100 times 10).

48x=1000    Now divide by 48 and you have your answer.

About 20.8 minutes

What number needs to be added to 5 and 3 so that the ratio of the first number to the second
Mashcka [7]

Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

Choose a variable to represent the number to be added to 5 and 3.

\frac{5+x}{3+x}=\frac{4}{3}

"Cross-multiply."

3(5+x)=4(3+x)\\\\15+3x=12+4x\\\\15=12+x\\\\3=x

Check:  The ratio of 5+3 to 3 + 3 is 8:6, equal to the ratio 4:3.

Find the volume of a pyramid with a square base, where the perimeter of the base is 8.2\text{ cm}8.2 cm and the height of the py
7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

V=18.2cm^3

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of the pyramid is given by:

V=\frac{A_{b}h}{3}

where A_{b} is the area of the base and h is the height.

We know that the height is:

h=13cm

Thus we need to find the area of the square at the base.

The perimeter of the square is:

p=8.2cm

this means that the length of the sides of the square is :

l=\frac{p}{4}\\ \\l=\frac{8.2cm}{4}\\ \\l=2.05cm

Now we can find the area of the base which the area of the square:

A_{b}=l^2\\A_b=(2.05cm)^2\\A_b=4.2025cm^2

and finally we find the volume:

V=\frac{A_{b}h}{3}

V=\frac{(4.2025cm^2)(13cm)}{3}\\ \\V=\frac{54.6325cm^3}{3}\\ \\V=18.2108cm^3

Which rounded to the nearest tenth of a cubic centimeter is: V=18.2cm^3
