The volume of the ethanol inside the tube can be obtained by dividing the mass of ethanol by the density. The volume is equal to 15.03 ml or 15.03 cm3. The volume of the tube is equal to pi d^2/4 * h where h is 15 cm. From this formula, the diameter is equal to 1.13 cm.
We first write the fractions in their decimal forms and find out the ratio.
2 1/4 is equivalent to 2.25, and 1 1/3 is equivalent to 1.33
Ratio will be 2.25 / 1.33 = 1.69 or 1.7 rounded off. Since it cannot be simplified further, then the ratio of mulch to gravel will be 1.7: 1
Quantity of mulch sold → 1.7/2.7 of 172 →0.629 ×172 = 108.2 pounds
Quantity of gravel sold will be 172 -108. 2 = 63 .8 pounds
Y=2x+5
2(2x+5)+4x=10
4x+10+4x=10
8x=20
So there's one solution, x=2.5
Gives an output of 1 I think
