Let x be the amount of cement and y be the amount of sand. If <span>the ratio of cement to sand for mortar is 1:3, then
and y=3x.
</span>
So, if <span>Sandy puts in x=7 shovels of cement, then she puts
shovels of sand.
</span><span>
</span><span>
Answer: 21 shovels of sand.
</span>
The least common multiple is 3
This can help you
a) since it is discrete we need to think about the sum thing
it it was continuous we would look at an integral thing
so I think if I remember correctly we need to find c such that
<span><span>∑<span>i=0</span>3</span>c(<span>x2</span>+4)=1
b) </span>
problem b is a similar setup
Answer:
scale factor is: 2.25
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
x = 21/8
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Write equation
x - 11 = 3 - 7(x - 1)
Step 2: Solve for <em>x</em>
<u>Distribute -7:</u> x - 11 = 3 - 7x + 7
<u>Combine like terms:</u> x - 11 = 10 - 7x
<u>Add 7x on both sides:</u> 8x - 11 = 10
<u>Add 11 on both sides:</u> 8x = 21
<u>Divide both sides by 8:</u> x = 21/8
