Answer:

  • Zack: 11
  • Brian: 19

Step-by-step explanation:

Let z and b represent the number of packs that Zack and Brian bought, respectively. Then the problem statement tells us ...

  b = 2z -3 . . . . . . . Brian bought 3 fewer than twice what Zack bought

  b + z = 30 . . . . . . they bought a total of 30 packs

Using the first equation to substitute into the second, we have ...

  (2z -3) +z = 30

  3z -3 = 30

  3z = 33 . . . . . . add 3

  z = 11

  b = 2·11 -3 = 22 -3 = 19

_____

<em>Check</em>

  b + z = 19 + 11 = 30 . . . . answer checks OK

Zack bought 11 packs; Brian bought 19 packs of gum.

A 64-foot tall monument casts a shadow 16 feet long. If Kyle is stsnding nearby and is 6'3 tall, find the length of his shadow.​
Helen [10]

Answer: Length of his shadow is 18 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Length of tall monument = 64 foot

Length of shadow = 16 feet

Length of pole where Kyle is standing = 6 feet 3 inch = 72 inches

So, we need to find the length of its shadow.

So, according to question, we get that

\dfrac{64\times 12}{16\times 12}=\dfrac{72}{x}\\\\4=\dfrac{72}{x}\\\\4x=72\\\\x=\dfrac{72}{4}\\\\x=18\ feet

Hence, length of his shadow is 18 feet.

How many total ounces of chicken
aleksklad [387]

Answer:

An average chicken breast weighs 174 g, or about 6 ounces (oz). But sizes vary from smaller cuts at around 4 oz, to larger ones at 8 to 10 oz. There's no right or wrong choice here. It really depends on what you're cooking and how much chicken you want.

The numerator and denominator of a fraction are in the ratio of 3 to 5. If the numerator and denominator
WARRIOR [948]

Answer: 5n = 3d and 3n + 6 = 2d + 4

Given that the numerator and denominator of a fraction are in the ratio of 3 to 5. When the numerator and denominator are both increased by 2, the fraction is equal to \dfrac{2}{3}.  

We are to select the system of equations that could be used to solve the problem.  

Since n denotes the numerator and m denotes the denominator of the given fraction, so we have:

n/d = 3/5

5n = 3d

<h3>and</h3>

(n+2)/(d+2) = 2/3

3(n+2) = 2(d+2)

3n + 6 = 2d + 4

Thus, the required system of equations is,

5n = 3d and 3n + 6 = 2d + 4
