Answer:
4 3/8 cups of baking soda
Step-by-step explanation:
1 3/4 cups of baking soda are needed to make 1 batch of a homemade cleaning product,
Cups of baking soda : batches of homemade cleaning
1 3/4 cups : 1 batch
How many total cups of baking soda I needed to make 2 1/2 batches of the cleaning product?
Let x = total cups of baking soda needed
Cups of baking soda : batches of homemade cleaning
x cups : 2 1/2 batches
Equate the ratios
1 3/4 cups : 1 batch = x cups : 2 1/2 batches
7/4 ÷ 1 = x ÷ 5/2
7/4 × 1/1 = x * 2/5
7/4 = 2/5x
Divide both sides by 2/5
x = 7/4 ÷ 2/5
= 7/4 × 5/2
Cross product
x = 35/8
= 4 3/8 cups of baking soda
Answer:
He sold 100 rackets for $ 20
Step-by-step explanation:
To start, we have to make 2 equations, one that represents the number of rackets and the other the money
x + y = 500
x * 20 + y * 45 = 20000
we clear x in the first equation
x + y = 500
x = 500 - y
we replace x in the second equation with (500 - y)
x * 20 + y * 45 = 20000
(500 - y) * 20 + y * 45 = 20000
10000 - 20y + 45y = 20000
-20y + 45y = 20000 - 10000
25y = 10000
y = 10000/25
y = 400
we replace x in the first equation with the value obtained
x = 500 - y
x = 500 - 400
x = 100
He sold 100 rackets for $ 20
