3/5 or 60%.
2/3 hour is 40 minutes, so 1/3 is 20 minutes.
40 minutes have passed and 2/5 of the progress on the floor is complete. In 20 minutes, 1/5 of the work is complete. Add 20 minutes to 40 minutes to get 60 minutes, or an hour.
Because of this, we need to add the progress of 20 minutes and 40 minutes. 1/5+2/5=3/5.
wheat = $0.96 lb rye = $1.89 lb
12w + 15r = 3987 15w + 10r = 3330 r = (3330 - 15w)/10 12w + 15r = 3987 12w + 15((3330 - 15w)/10) = 3987 12w + (15/10)(3330 - 15w) = 3987 12w + 4995 - 22.5w = 3987 10.5w = 1008 w = 96 cents r = 189 cents.
Hope this helps mate
Hello!
In a really simple way, 3 times our answer is 19. We can just divide to find it.
19/3= 6 1/3
Anyway, it might be nice to solve the equation for b. If a=6, then b has to be 1/3, but let's check.
18+3b=19
3b=1
b=1/3
Therefore, a+b= 6 1/3
I hope this helps!
Choices: <span>A. 16/9
B. 4/3
C. 32/9
D. 64/27</span>
Given:
number of pints used for larger chest = 16 pints
number of pints used for smaller chest = 9 pints
Ratio of the volume of the larger chest compared to the smaller chest.
We will use the number of pints used in lieu of the volume of each chest.
16 / 9 is the ratio. Choice A.
