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 gradient of the graph shown
Keith_Richards [23]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  3

Step-by-step explanation:

The gradient is the ratio of "rise" to "run". Here, it appears the line crosses the y-axis at y = -1. It appears that it also crosses the grid intersection at (1, 2). This represents a "rise" (change in y) of (2 -(-1)) = 3, for a "run" (change in x) of (1 -0) = 1. Then the gradient is ...

  m = rise/run = 3/1 = 3

The gradient of the graph is 3.

Ana angle measure 79.8 degrees less than the measure of it’s complementary angle what is the measure of each angle
RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

x = 129.8 degrees,  y = 50.2 degrees,    x + y = 180

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say you have 2 supplementary angles, x and y

So x + y = 180

if x is 79.8 degrees less than the measure of a supplementary angle, then x = y - 79.8

Putting this into our x + y = 180 equation, we get

(y - 79.8) + y = 180

2y - 79.8 = 180

2y = 180 + 79.8

2y = 259.8

y = 259.8/2 = 129.9 degrees.

so x = 129.9 - 79.6 = 50.3 degrees.

See if it worked. x = 129.9 degrees,  y = 50.3 degrees,    x + y = 180 so we found the correct two angles! :-)

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!!! THATS ALL. I WILL GIVE POINTS, FAN, MEDAL. PLEASE, I AM SO BAD AT MATH

"measures to the nearest tenth of a pound" tell us to round each of the weights listed to the nearest tenth (since the unit is already pounds, no conversion is needed). What this means is if the second number to the right of the decimal is 5 or greater, then we add 1 to the first number to the right of the decimal (and replace the second number with a zero). With all this said, it's much easier to show you, rather than to try to explain it. :D

4.35 is rounded up to 4.4 because the second number to the right of the decimal is 5.
Packet A = 4.4
Packet B = 4.4 
Packet C = 4.5
Packed D = 4.4
The question is asking what the heaviest reading will be, so from the whole list above we pick the highest number which is 4.5 pounds. Notice how the answer is not Packet C, or 4.48 pounds, but 4.5 pounds. It is asking for the reading, not the packet, nor the weight. Hope this helps.
