Answer: The required number of plants Nestor can [lot in 1 hour is 6.

Step-by-step explanation: Given that Nestor works at a garden where he pots plants. It takes him $2\dfrac{1}{2}~\textup{hour}$ to pot 15 plants.

We are to find the number of plants he can plot in 1 hour.

We will be using the UNITARY method to solve the problem.

We have

Number of plants Nestor can plot in $2\dfrac{1}{2}=\dfrac{5}{2}$ hour = 15.

So, the number of plants he can plot in 1 hour will be

$\dfrac{15}{\frac{5}{2}}=15\times\dfrac{2}{5}=6.$

Thus, the required number of plants Nestor can [lot in 1 hour is 6.

15 divided by 2 1/2=6
Nestor can pot 6 plants in an hour. (I'm guessing that it said 2 1/2 hours)

Answer:

Patel will require more orange juice = $\frac{371}{660}$ cups

Step-by-step explanation:

Patel needs the orange juice for his family = 3 cups

He needs more orange juice = 3 cups - Sum of juice squeezed from different oranges

$=3-(\frac{13}{15}+\frac{1}{5}+\frac{9}{20}+\frac{5}{11}+\frac{7}{15})$

L.C.M. of the denominators = 660

$=3-\frac{572+132+297+300+308}{660}$

$=3-\frac{1609}{660}$

= $\frac{1980-1609}{660}$

= $\frac{371}{660}$

Therefore, amount of orange juice required more = $\frac{371}{660}$ cups

How many solutions does the following equation have? 7(y + 3) = 5y + 8 answer:

vodomira [7]

Answer:

One Solution

Explanation:

7(y + 3) = 5y + 8

Simplify both sides of the equation

7(y + 3) = 5y + 8

(7)(y) + (7)(3) = 5y + 8 (Distribute)

7y + 21 = 5y + 8

Subtract 5y from both sides

7y + 21 − 5y = 5y + 8 − 5y

2y + 21 = 8

Subtract 21 from both sides

2y + 21 − 21 = 8 − 21

2y = −13

Divide both sides by 2

2y = −13

2y / 2 = -13 / 2

y = -13 / 2

-13 / 2 = -6.5

y = -13 / 2 or -6.5
