20 because 12 divided by 3 is 4. then you multiply 5 by 4. and you get 20.

Answer:

There are a total of 20 picks

Step-by-step explanation:

Great question, it is always good to ask away and get rid of any doubts that you may be having.

Since we are given 3 values with 1 variable, and since this is a ratio problem. Then we can use the Rule of Three technique in order to solve this problem. The Rule of Three technique is shown in the picture attached below.

3 oranges   ⇒   5 picks

12 oranges   ⇒   x picks

\frac{12*5}{3} = x

20 = x

As we can see from the calculation above there are a total of 20 picks

I hope this answered your question. If you have any more questions feel free to ask away at Brainly.

What is the slope of any line perpendicular to y=-1/3x+22
STatiana [176]
Answer:
The slope of any line perpendicular to the given line is 3

Explanation:
The general form of the linear line is:
y = mx + c where m is the slope
The given line is:
y = -1/3 x + 22
Comparing the given line with the general form, we will find that:
slope of the given line (m1) is -1/3

Now, for any two lines to be perpendicular, the product of their slopes should be equal to -1.
This means that:
m1 * m2 = -1
We have m1 = -1/3
Therefore:
-1/3 * m2 = -1
m2 = 3*1
m2 = 3

Hope this helps :)

What is the inverse of x-2
SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

y = x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The expression x-2 is from the equation y = x - 2.

To find the inverse of the equation, <u>switch the "x" and "y" variables</u>, then solve  or <u>isolate for "y"</u>, meaning to separate it from the other numbers.

y = x - 2     Original equation

x = y - 2     Switched "x" and "y" variables

x + 2 = y - 2 + 2     Add 2 to both sides to cancel out '-2' on the side with "y"

x + 2 = y    

y = x + 2     Variable is on left side in standard formatting

To isolate, do the reverse operation for the number you want to get rid of.

On the side with "y", I wanted to get rid of '-2' so I could separate "y" from everything else. '+2' is the reverse operation for '-2'.
