Answer:
Ava gives each cat 2 treats. 3 treats are left.
Step-by-step explanation:
15/6 = 2.5
If she wants to split them evenly then she can only give each cat 2 treats. so 2 x 6 = 12 which means that there are 3 treats left
Answer:
144 cloves
Step-by-step explanation:
You separate 42 bulbs of garlic into two groups:one for planting and one for cooking.
We have a ratio of planting to cooking
Planting : Cooking
You will plant 3 bulbs for every 4 bulbs that you will use for cooking.
Hence: 3 : 4
The total of their proportion = 3 + 4 = 7
Hence:
The number of garlic you plant =
3/7 × 42 = 18 bulbs of garlic
The number of garlic you use to cook =
4/7 × 42 = 24 bulbs of garlic
We are also told that:
Each bulb has about 8 cloves. How many cloves of garlic will you plant?
From the calculation above , we know the number of bulbs of garlic been planted
= 18 bulbs.
Hence:.
1 bulb = 8 cloves
18 bulbs = x
x = 8 cloves × 18 bulbs
x = 144 cloves
Therefore, you will plant 144 cloves of garlic
Assume that Cody was x cm tall on his first day at school last year.
Assume that Cody is y cm tall on his first day at school this year.
This year, Cody became 10% taller.
10% is equivalent to 0.1
This can be translated into the following:
y = x + 0.1x
We are given that y = 165 cm.
Substitute in the equation to get x as follows:
165 = x + 0.1x
165 = 1.1x
x = 150 cm
Based on the above calculations, Cody was 150 cm tall on his first day at school last year.
Answer:
We don't really have the whole question, but to convert to a decimal, you should divide the numerator by the denominator.
Example:
Convert 5/8 to a decimal.
5 divided by 8 = 0.625
Given:
The number of ribbons it can sell each week, x, is related to the price p per ribbon by the equation:
To find:
The selling price if the company wants the weekly revenue to be $1,600.
Solution:
We know that the revenue is the product of quantity and price.
We need to find the value of p when the value of R is $1600.
Divide both sides by 100.
Splitting the middle term, we get
Using zero product property, we get
or 
or 
Therefore, the smaller value of p is $2 and the larger value of p is $8.
